Relief for Jewish merchants, artisans and small traders from the heavy burden of taxation will result from an ordinance issued by the government here yesterday.
The government ordered a cancellation of part of the taxes still unpaid by those merchants who were ruined by the economic crisis. It was also predicted that the government would order a milder treatment of property owners who have been unable to pay their full taxes.
