Jersey Folks Want Tax

Small towns in nearby New jersey

on them an dthey arc now urging tha

Assemblyman Robert Todd, Of Bergen
is leading the fight against the meas.
ure. He told meeting of taxpayers
last week in Jersey City that the Law
has worked hardship on many towns
within the suburban area Of New
y ork.
"Sincc the passage Of the bill year
and half ago he said there has
been steady influx of New York
ers into our small towns. Steered by
real estate spectators they have
done much building which undeh the
law was not taxable for five years
The result was that Che expenses Of
different towns due to increased
populations became heavier. Larger
schools, police and fire departments
we're ncedcd No revenue came from
the new comers. Finally taxes
jumped tremendously to meet the de-
mands and it was the old inhabitants
who stood the blunt OF it,
"in Palisade Park in two years

cent iii school appropriations due to
no other cause. he said.
ExAsscmblyma Nelson also spoke
RS did former Rcnt-Adjuster Edmund
B. Loughran. The meeting voted to
assist Mr.. Todd in his fight for the
bills repeal.
There are a number Of persons who
disagree with Mr.. Todd, pointing out
that population means property aHd
commercial value. They say that towns
should not object to increasing the
capacity OF their plants even though
the financial return from such ex-
penditures will not start to come for
five years. The opinion Of supporters
of tax exemption is that opposite on
to this building expcdient is reac-
tionary and that decision should be
based on future benefits rather than
immediate results.

ncle Sam Will Not
cnalize Thrift
BY Levying ON 1t
Exempts From Tax Income
Up to $500 Obtained
From Investment in
B Building Associations

Uncle Sam has decided not to tax
thrift as represented in the income
derived from savings placed with
building md loan associations of the
country. A provision Of shc new Fed
eral revenue act seemed to indicate
that thrift was to be penalized, but
according to ruling received by Con-
gresham Longworth, of Ohio, from
the United States Department of In
ternal Revenue, income up to $500 re-
ceived from investment in building
and loan or saving and loan associa-
tons will be exempt from levy during
the next four years, that is from 1922
to 1926 inclusive.
The exemption is the result Of a
long campaign waged by the United
States League of Local Building and
Loan Associations, repres senting TWEEN
tysix states, Al was especially urged
as an aid TO the solution OF the hous-
ing problem.
The exemption originally proposed
by the United States League was for
$500 annually. 1t was strongly op-
posed as discl mnatoly By other bank
ing institutions, and was stricken out
in the Senate after passage By the
House. 1t finally prevailed in the con-
ference committee in the comprom Sc
form stated.
Charles o'Connor Hennessy, presi-
dent Of the Fanklin Society for Home
Building and Savings Of New York.
who was chairman Of the Federal Legis-
lative Committee Of the nted States
League, which made the fight at Wash
ingtssal for the exemption, expresse the
belief that it will greatly aid the CO.
operative associations of New York and
New Jersey to increase the savings
funds available for small homeseekers.

results during the next five years will
show that Congress was amply justified
in the special encouragement now
given to the persons who put their

The Builders Association OF Man
haitian thinks that the housing stu
alton would improve much more rap
idly if the tax exemption was allowed
onl yon apartments which rent at SIG
a room or less. 1t is the opinion of
the association that building efforts
would then be directed toward supply
ing the houses which the city is in
most need. Resolutions covering these
points have been sent by the associ-
alton to the Lockwood committee The
resolutions read:
"The Builders Association Of Man
haitian is desirous of going on record
as favorlng all measures that will truly
relieve the emergency, but believes
that exemption from taxation under the
present laws results in relieving from
taxation dwelling houses so high priced
and few in number that the construc-
tion thereof does not actually and ma
teriallv relieve the emcrgent housing
conditions
THE association favors the exemp-
ton from taxation of all buildings,
plans for whic hare fled up to April
|, 1923, said exemption to apply only
however, upon buildings. apartment
in which shall rent al an average Of
SIG a room or less. If this limitation
should not prove practicable the asso-
citation is opposed to The continued ex
emption from taxation now granted to
dwelling houses"
