Meet Deficit

A $6,149,000 five-point tax-in-
crease program, to meet the an.

the coming fiscal year, was agreed
upon today by the House District

inheritance and estate tax, an in
crease in the tax on insurance
premiums, an income tax and a
business privilege tax. The sub
committee turned town a pro-

The subcommittee directed the
District Commissioners to have
drafts of legislation prepared to
carry out these principles, as well
as to prepare legislation to EN-.
power the Commissioners to in
stall city park-ometers and to COM

in Washington to designate an
officer here on whom service can
be obtained.

The subcommittee did not in

derived from the park-o-meters in
its program to meet the deficit,
pointing out that this money can
be used in case the anticipated
revenues from the new taxes are
insufficient to meet the deficit.
Likewise, it was the opinion Of
the subcommittee that in case
more money than will be obtained
from the new tax program is
needed to run the city government
