RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, it is the consensus of opinion of
the City Commission of the City of La Porte that under
the present taxing la,ws of this State, Industry cannot
properly invest, operate and grow because of the un-
justified and confiscatory tax burden placed upon
Industry; and
."
WHEREAS, under the police powers of cities in
this State, Industry is subjected to unwarranted, dis-
criminatory and futile regulations, inspections and
actual invasions into the private and internal operations
of industrial plants generally; and
WHEREAS, under such tax laws and police regu-
lations, it is not feasible, practicable or economical
for industries to operate with large capital invest-
ments inside the corporate limits of cities or in areas
e~..
unprotected from annexation under the powers now held
by Home Rule cities; and
WHEREAS, it is vital and imperative that In-
dustry in the entire La Porte area be given legally
binding and permanent protection against such unfair
tax burdens and police regulations in order to encourage
industrial development on a sound long-range program7
and
WHEREAS, this can be accomplished by the
creation of an Industrial 'Zone in which Industry would
.
not be subject to building regulations, fire codes,
zoning ordinances and city police regulations;
