Annapolis January 30. Utility spokesmen pressed a Senate debate on changes to Maryland gross receipts and sales taxes. A Case Tax Survey Commission plan would save taxpayers about 1.325 million, but shift money among industries. It would tax electric light, power and gas firms more while removing the two percent retail sales tax from electric and gas bills. The panel estimates a 1.5 million revenue loss but suggests a 175 thousand dollar net gain from broader gross receipts increases. The hearing comes with other measures, including a repeal of Jim Crow intrastate rail and steamboat segregation. Senate debate also moves to consider only Maryland mined coal for state institutions.
