New York, Nov. 27--Over-riding bitter opposition from merchants, bankers and utility companies, the Board of Aldermen this evening passed Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia's $61,000,000 relief tax program.
In the face of increasing murmurs of a tax strike from merchants, the Board, after a dramatic, personal plea of the Mayor, passed by an overwhelming majority a two per cent sales tax, excluding food stuffs, a three per cent tax on the income of utilities companies and one per cent inheritance tax.
