Eccles Advises Cities Against Tax Reduction
Washington, Jan. 14. Federal Reserve Board Chairman Eccles urged mayors not to cut city taxes as war boom revenue rises. Reducing taxes could undermine federal efforts to curb inflation and raise taxes, he warned. Excess revenue should retire public debts or fund federal securities to aid the war. He called tax free bonds inconsistent with policy and said they shift tax burden to low income groups. La Guardia supported municipal resistance to removing tax exemptions. Aviation courses in schools were urged to train a future generation of flyers. Mayors met with OPM and promised to seek contract distribution guidance to maximize war effort.
