 Regarding Proposed Law

last call for those who may de sire suggesting some change in the Merchants and Manufacturers tax ordinance, is issued by the secretary. MT.

The ordinance com mittee of the NJ & M.> association has completed it's work on d city tax law, and has made one report to the city commission.
 In order to let everyone have a change to agree with the committee, or say how-in his views differed. and suggest changes. the association sent out two hundred letters to men In all lines of business affected by the ordinance. It appears that many of these letters have either miscar- ried or been overlooked, so the asso- citation is giving it's members another shot at the ordinance.
