2 The heavy burden of (presumably municipal) real estate taxation is referred to specifically. In the Interim Report mention is made of a study of taxation conditions being prepared for the Commission by an unnamed “independent body,” but this is not cited in the Final Report.

4 The method of tabulation prevents the abstraction of a more accurate figure than this; in the list of methods of hiring, “Employment Service” is indicated by 4 per cent of the firms, and “two or more methods” by 26 per cent. How many of these latter included the Employment Service is not stated.
