Tax Relief Proposals Urged At Harvey Dinner
Otto F Reich spoke at a Harvey dinner discussing Cook County tax relief. He called for refunding 1930 taxes, new tax machinery, real estate tax relief, and separate assessment lists for farm, residential, and business properties. A sales tax and income tax were proposed, with local assessors and districts favored over a county-wide assessor. A committee was formed to draft resolutions for the Governor's commission and state legislature.
