Cleveland May 27 John D Rockefeller faces Ohio taxes on property valued around 6 312226 47 and the tax authorities say the taxing machinery lacks right to tax that amount. The state tax commission in Columbus says increases will push the rate toward 5 per 1000, with Rockefeller reportedly owning Standard Oil stock at par value and other personal property totaling about 1.65 million dollars. State officials have spent weeks investigating Rockefeller holdings and aim to tax the full listed amount.
