With Michigan industry leading the
nation in economic recovery, employment at a high level and real estate
holdings gaining in value both from a
sale and rental angle, it is forecast
by state officials that this year's collection of taxes under the ten-year
plan will materially exceed the total
of S-15,000,000 paid in 1935.
There has been a great change for
the better in the whole tax collection
.situation during the past twelve
months. Whereas a year ago, before
the plan was announced much pessimism was evident, today widespread
optimism prevails due to improved
■economic conditions and to- the fact
that it is more universally realized
that the state has made it comparatively easy for the property owner
to meet his tax obligations.
Previous to the enactment of the
Moore-Holbeck act which placed in
operation the ten-year plan many
millions of taxes were held to be un-,
collectable. Interest and penalties
on the old bills ran into such high
amounts that the owners, suffering
from the continued effects of the
depression, lost all hope of salvaging
their holdings. Accentuating this feeling of hopelessness was the decrease
in property values and rentals due
largely to lack of demand.
Then it was that the state through
legislative mandate came to the aid
of its harrassed citizens. The ten-
payment idea was put into effect.
While through educational methods
the plan is widely known, it may
not be amiss to restate its salient
features for the benefit of those who
are not wholly familiar with them.
Under the plan, taxes for 1932 and
prior years, except for Detroit which
has an individual plan, were lumped
and divided into ten annual payments. All accumulated interest on
these old taxes was cancelled. This
year's interest amounts to only four
per cent figured from Septmber 1,
1935, when the plan went into effect.
Tlie response to this economic relief project afforded by the state officials was instantaneous. As a Te-
sult $55,000,000 in taxes were
brought to life and placed on active
rolls. Homes were saved and owners
of other property were able to
breathe easier again. Various units
of government, threatened with curtailments through lack of funds,
were enabled to continue functioning
in the interest of all the people.
Property owners who paid their
first year installment must now "settle for the second year. Thousands
have already done so. Many more
thousands will make their payments
on or hefore September 1st, and be
secure in their tax position.
For various reasons many property
owners were not able to take advantage of the ten-year plan when it was
originated. "Early payments this

Another favorahle condition that
prevails this year is the large number
of property owners who, with money
easier, are paying their remaining

lump sum. Tliis, of course, brings
a large saving—8 to 36 per cent interest on future payments.

There has been a great change for the better in the whole tax collection .situation during the past twelve months. Whereas a year ago, before the plan was announced much pessimism was evident, today widespread optimism prevails due to improved ■economic conditions and to- the fact that it is more universally realized that the state has made it comparatively easy for the property owner to meet his tax obligations. Previous to the enactment of the Moore-Holbeck act which placed in operation the ten-year plan many millions of taxes were held to be un-, collectable. Interest and penalties on the old bills ran into such high amounts that the owners, suffering from the continued effects of the depression, lost all hope of salvaging their holdings. Accentuating this feeling of hopelessness was the decrease in property values and rentals due largely to lack of demand. Then it was that the state through legislative mandate came to the aid of its harrassed citizens. The ten- payment idea was put into effect. While through educational methods the plan is widely known, it may not be amiss to restate its salient features for the benefit of those who are not wholly familiar with them. Under the plan, taxes for 1932 and prior years, except for Detroit which has an individual plan, were lumped and divided into ten annual payments. All accumulated interest on these old taxes was cancelled. This year's interest amounts to only four per cent figured from Septmber 1, 1935, when the plan went into effect. Tlie response to this economic relief project afforded by the state officials was instantaneous. As a Te- sult $55,000,000 in taxes were brought to life and placed on active rolls. Homes were saved and owners of other property were able to breathe easier again. Various units of government, threatened with curtailments through lack of funds, were enabled to continue functioning in the interest of all the people. Property owners who paid their first year installment must now "settle for the second year. Thousands have already done so. Many more thousands will make their payments on or hefore September 1st, and be secure in their tax position. For various reasons many property owners were not able to take advantage of the ten-year plan when it was originated.
