Petition Of Citizens Of San Francisco For The Repeal Of The Mortgage Tax Law. 1870 (2 of 2)
PETITION
To the Honorable the Senate and Assembly of the State of California:
The petition of the undersigned, citizens of San Francisco, respectfully represents to your honorable body the great hardship which they suffer by having to pay tax on money borrowed by them on the mortgage of their properties. It is their well considered opinion that the borrower should not be obliged to pay tax to the bank, after having paid the legal interest on the money, besides paying the city, county and State taxes, to the Tax Collector. Petitioners pray that the tax be remitted, and that the money collected by the bankers, for said tax, be refunded to their rightful owners. Respectfully,
