COTTON MILL TAXES
TREBLED SINCE 1915
Massachusetts, Figures Of National
Manufacturers Say Levy 10
Double Price Level.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, July 18.-Taxes paid by
the cotton mills Of Massachusetts,
have trebled since 1915, land when
compared to the cost of living are
found to be twice as high as the gen.
eral level of prices" according to an
analysis Of the industry prepared by
the National Association of Cotton
Manufacturers.
The association report, issued yes
terday, stated that ''the mills located
in the Piedmont or Carolina section of
the South pay about four-sevenths Of
the amount paid in Massachusetts,,
and the mills in Alabama, Georgia
and the far South pay about one.third
as much
Quoting extensively from figures
compiled by the National Industrial
Conference Board. the report points
out that the textile mills of Massa-
chusetts paid taxes amounting to
IT'S per cent more or nearly eight
times the loss sustained by the mills"
in 1924.
The report states that in 1920 the
cotton mills in New Bedford repre-
scented So per cent of the total city
assessment, but that losses suffered
by the mills from high taxes reduced
the assessments against the mills to
40 per cent of the total last year. In
New Bedford in 1920 the mills repre-
scented 47.3 per cent of the total city
assessment. whereas it had been re-
duced to 1878 per cent last year.
