1akoma Park {. Of {. Heads
Oppose Corporation Tax

The Executive Committee of the
Takoma Park Chamber of Com
merce has asked the City Council
to rescind plans to impose a cor
poration tax.
The committee said it viewed
with alarm" consequences of the
tax, which the City Council de-
cided to impose Monday night.
State law gives the Council au-
thority to collect a corporation tax.
but it had not been used before in
Takoma Park.
Claiming that the tax would
have a deterrent effect upon the
purposes and efforts of the cham
Der to develop a program for the
commercial, business and civic
development of Takoma Park" the
committee condemned the Coun-
clls action and asked that it be
rescinded.
The rate of the tax imposed was
S1.13 per $100 of assessed valua-
ton of all corporation personal
property reported to the State
Tax Commission.
