Illinois lawmakers push new sales tax bills and mortgage moratorium
Three administration backed sales tax bills move through the Illinois legislature replacing an unconstitutional levy with a one half of 1 percent occupational tax. The Senate sponsor is Sen Francis J. Loughran with Rep Schaefer O Neill backing the House version. The House also votes to give courts two years to delay mortgage foreclosures for good reasons. Governor Horner appoints Sergt L M Taylor as assistant superintendent of state highway police. The U S Supreme Court orders Illinois to fund Sanitary District of Chicago sewage work, possibly via bond issue, with yearly costs around 35 million dollars. Authorization is issued for several state highway division appointments across multiple counties. Governor signs authorization for care of children in the Illinois Soldiers and Sailors’ Children’s Home at Normal.
