Tax Relief in 10 States

Thirteen states now have some
form of tax relief for homestead
properties, the most far reaching
in Florida, which makes an out
right gght exemption from taxation on
homestead properties up to 5000
valuation.
"As an introduction" Currier
continued. 81 would like to see
the Michigan Legislature open
discussion on a measure some
thing like this: Outright eNemP--

$1,000 of valuation on properties
valued up TO $4,000: $1,000 on
properties valued from $4,000 to
$4,000; no exemption on home
stead properties, whether urban
or rural. valued on the tax rolls
at over $4,000"
Currier pointed out that revenues
which were lost 10 the COUNT $

system of sharing in taxes which

Tax Bugaboo Frightens

1.-THE man with a low income"
said Currier. "is often frightened
away from home ownership by
the tax bugabOo-not because
the tax at the moment is too
high, but because he has abso-
lutely no way OF gauging his
future tax responsibility. 1t
seems agreed that real estate
generally Is bearing too high a
proportion of the total tax bur-
den. With the trend toward
lower costs homes, this means
that the man with the smaller
income is bearing too high a
share of total taxation"
Currier- said that many students
)f government considered a home
stead exemption Jaw a form OF
home ownership subsidy
But we have recognized the
need for housing subsidy by the
National Housing Act and other
such legislation" he said. ut
would seem logical that IN a
housing subsidy is to be accepted
as good, we should have less
reason TO worry about an
Ownership subsidy"
Currier said he felt that the
of such a law in Michl-
gan would open up the possibility
Of home ownership to thousands OF
wage earnerS interested in homes
costing from $1,000 to $4,000.

4 Simple Rules
Cut Accidents

In mid-Winter slippery steps and
sidewalks are the major causes OF
serious accidents for which the
home owner is responsible and OBJ
servance of a few simple rules will
aid in the prevention of accidents.
/. Do not allow snow and ice
to accumulate and harden. 1t is
much easier to remove immedi-
ately after the snow ceases to
fall.
2. Use sawdust on slippery
surfaces. Sawdust clings to ice
better than ashes and is better
non-skid material, less messy
and far more effective. 1t can
also be used in vestibules and
inner Railways.
3. Never pour hot water on
icy steps. Ice should be dis
solved by sprinkling salt liber-
ally on walking surfaces on
which ice has formed.
A. Remove icicles from roof
cornices before they fall. Do not
permit drain leader discharges
to freeze upon the walls.
