Description |
Unsigned Report of the three Trustees of the Fairhope Single Tax Corporation, addressed to the members, likely written by Anne Bellagee Call in 1926 or early 1927. (E.B. Gaston's trip to Copenhagen in summer 1926 is referenced in the letter as a recent event.) The Trustees approve of the measures the FSTC Executive Council has recently taken to "stop the wave of (land) speculation that has menaced us." The Trustees warn that the Corporation must increasingly be on guard and warns that individuals applying for membership must be thoroughly vetted with regard to their belief in single tax principles. The Trustees have several recommendations about business practices, mostly keeping vigilant with regard to following FSTC rules. And finally, the Trustees feel the secretary's salary should be raised from $35 per month to $75 per month, due to the amount of work imposed on that position. From the correspondence of Anne B. Call. . |
