OCCUPATION TAX
 FINDS FAVOR WITH
 CITY'S COMMITTEES
(Continued from page one)

Attorney W. F. Coleman was the first to champion the occupation tax, but he drew clear cut lines in his acceptance of the plan. He said he was willing to see the tax levied, and fer gaining additional revenue, but he said he believed all of the money raised this way should be put in sinking fund, and that none of it should be used for current expenses, of for anything else than as a sink ing fund.
 Some of Rich Exempt.
 Speaking of a proposal to raise $50,OOO yearly by an occupation tax, he said he favored raising only the actual sum needed to create the fund. "Some of the richest people in Pine Bluff" he said, fall with out those who will have to pay this tax, there are people here who have no occupation except collection of rents and the clipping of coupons, yet under this system, they will be exempt.
 Ut is only under the most press ing necessity that this tax should be levied,'' he continued. "I am in favor of the tax, but l don't think the merchants, the manufacturers, and the professions should be taxed one dollar more than is absolutely necessary to liquidate our ind'abt edness."
 E. M. Schober, president of the Retail Merchants Association, said he believed the occupation tax the only thing remaining in order to raise more revenue, but urged that the scale of taxation be such that the retailer be made not to suffer more than necessary. He said the city was losing thousands of doll ars yearly because there was no who he said, paved no rent, and underwent little risks, and by this means, provided hard competition to the retailer. Provided the occupa- tion tax was broad one, he conclud- ed, and did not impose an unnec- cessary hardship, the retail mer- chants association would pledge their support.
 Investigate Further.
 w. A. Lee, city clerk, was called upon by Mayor Hollis for a state ment as to the financial data con- corning the present situation. MT. Lee stated the city was running about even this year, and that the expenditures and revenue would be around $96,000. He said he looked for the revenue from present souces to increase during the next few years, and stated the present reve- nue would be sufficient to take care of the current expenses. He said the purchase of equipment and in- terest on outstanding debts was in- cluded in the total of expenditures All resources for raising any .addi- tional revenue had been exhausted he said, and expressed the belief that the occupation tax alone remained as the key to the situation.
 Following these expressions, May or Hollis suggested he be allowed to appoint committee within the con- mittee to investigate further and re- | port back at another meeting to be held soon. At the same time, he delegated the committee from each of the industries and professions re- presented to gather data on their respective committees and to report back at the next meeting. The first committee, he did not name at the meeting yesterday, but stated he would select one today, asking time to give full consideration to the per- sonnel of the committed
