City plan to tax mercantile stocks boosts 1918 19 rolls
Thousands of dollars in mercantile stocks and other personal property will be added to the 1918 19 tax rolls under a new city plan to tax these assets on par with other property. The change aims to raise assessed valuations and lower the tax rate while spreading the burden more equitably. An auditor assists the commission in valuing stock holdings and ensuring fair assessments. Merchants largely support the plan with few objections.
