Eliminate City From Tax Measure In Maryland
The House concurred in an amendment removing Frederick city from a bill raising the tax exemption in Frederick county for tools machinery and manufacturing apparatus from 25 to 40 percent of assessed valuation. The action avoids a constitutional snag tied to home rule rules. The measure, now amended, moves toward the Governor with county exemption rising to 40 percent for qualifying items, though city exemptions stay at 25 percent until possibly 1956. The 90 day session nears adjournment as other county bills advance or stall.
