Raise Tax Rate
."V
Question . '
; -' ' (By MAX ABEBNZTBTi
Raleigh, July 17. There is
chance of an amendment to the Re-
Tin
vacation act being forced through
the special session of the General As
sembly which would permit the rais
ing of the tax rate as already sched
uled as a,' means' 6f providing addi
tional revenue for towns and cities,
in the opinibn of A. J. Maxwell, of the
State Tax Commission. ,
Recently there has been some agita
tion in the State for such an amend
ment so that the municipalities could
replenish their treasuries which have
been too Insignificant to meet the
heavy drains made upon them because
of the increase in salaries, mainten
ance of water, electric and sewer sys
tems snd current expenses, this con
dition having arisen along with the
upward trend in cost of other things.
The municipal league, or mayors and
commissioners of public safety, con
sidered the advisajbilit yof asking that
an amendment to the Revaluation act
be enacted at tho special session, the
city fathers generally having consid
ered it not only advisable but abso
lutely, necessary in order to, keep the
city governments off of the financial
rocks.- f ,V- v ; : v ..
Members of the- tax commission
realise the problem that is confront
ing th city government but point out
that1 virtually every municipality in
North Carolina has for the past twen
ty years been nnableHo show anything
but a deficit at the end o f each twelve
month period. They, of course, dis
like such a condition to exist but think
that after having become accustomed
to it one more year will make very
little difference.' ; '; -'
That this position is taken by the
tax commission is due to the fact that
the revenue act specifically provides
that the tax rate shall not be in ex
cess of ten per cent over the rate pre
vailing last year. It is apparent that
this increase .will not be sufflcinet to
finance the cities properly, but the
members of the General Assembly are
going to stand by the people in see
ing that the . original program is car
ried out; the . .proposed , amendment
will, In- the event it is Introduced, be
defeated. ;''.. .v ?vv'.xY-,V''.'V;
