On the
Business
Front
By WARD SCHULTZ
Detroit Times Financial Editor

Messrs. Jellres and Wither-
spoon:
An opinion was handed down
yesterday by the Connecticut
Supreme Court which may be Of
interest TO you gentlemen.
The court ruled that corpora
tions doing business in the state
of Connecticut arc liable for
excess profits taxes. AS a result.
state reveHHes are expected to
be increasd by about $4,000. 900.
The decision was5 rendered in
the case Of Mcbesson e. Rob-
bins. which appealed from inn
position of the tax by the state
tax department, making the
firm liable for about $1,000 per
year.
The Connecticut tax is at the
rate of z per cent on net income
earned in the state or one mill
per dollar of capital employed
in the state, and is levied upon
all corporations doing business
in Connecticut.
OF course. gentlemen, / real
lie that this is a state PROPOSE
ton and not a municipal tax
but l Just thought there might
be some angles in II which
would help the city.
