Stop Gap Taxation Program Approved By Senate And House
The General Assembly enacted a stop gap taxation package including retail sales liquor fuel cigarette and amusement taxes. The Senate walked out after the House passed the conference committee amendments to the sales tax and the pension conformity bill, leaving relief measures and county needs unresolved and prompting possible next week sessions. The final sales tax runs to March 1 1937 with changes such as taxing food for 15 months and requiring contractors to collect tax, plus 6 million for poor relief and township allocations, while the House resisted food tax inclusion and township shares as proposed.
