Alliance Holds Old Fashion Church Day IASB In Favor Of New Tax The Illinois Association of School Boards, (IASB), is helping defend the state's new replacement tax for the cor porate personal property tax. IASB has been granted permission by the Illinois Supreme court to file an amicus curiae (freind-of-the-court) brief in defense of the tax against law suits brought by a number of Illinois businesses. Several companies subject to the tax are challenging the tax on the grounds that it is un constitutional. "The validity of this replacement tax is of vital concern to the school boards of Illinois," said Jonathan T. Howe, president of IASB. "Nearly every school district in the state relied tb some extent on the corporate per sonal property, tax, some of them heavily. The state con stitution requires that this lost revenue be replaced and we believe the tax on corporate income is a valid source." The IASB brief will make up part of the defense of House Bill 2569, recently signed into law by Governor James Thompson. The bill provides for a tax on the income of corporations, partnerships, trusts, and on the invested capital of utilities, with the revenue distributed to local governments that lost revenue when the corporate personal property tax was abolished Jan. 1, 1979. Two lawsuits have been filed challenging the tax, but the two will be combined in a single case to be heard by the Supreme court on Sept. 19, in Springfield. One case was brought by a corporation and a utility (Continental Illinois National bank and Central Illinois Light company). The other was brought by a part nership (Paul W. Swanson and other partners in Chapel Hill Properties, of Chicago). The suits challenge the tax on eleven separate issues, in cluding: the governor exceeded his powers in amending the house bill; the tax raises more money than is needed to replace the old tax; and the bill shifts the tax burden from some types of businesses to other types. "If the replacement tax is found unconstitutional, Illinois school districts will lose more than $300 million," Howe said. "The result would be devastating for those districts that would lose 40 to 50 percent of their annual income." Headstones to mark the graves of 225,435 eligible beneficiaries were furnished last year by the Veterans ad ministration's Department of Memorial Affairs. This in cluded over 2,800 which were shipped outside the continental United States. Village Does Weed Cutting A number of complaints were made about the weeds on village property not getting cut Hay fever season is still with us and those who suffer from it were glad to see the weeds go. Trustee Bill Mitchell and his son, Bill, spent a weekend getting weeds cut around the village. Hay fever sufferers breathe a sigh of relief. New street signs are being put up around the village. Soon the new "Welcome to Sunnyside" will be seen, too, TWINS BORN TO FORMER RESIDENT Richard and Gussie Gamperl, former residents of the village of Sunnyside, became the proud parents of twins Aug. 29.
