First there is an income tax that

the income tax and lost.
Second, there's proposal to put

personal property so it will extract
more money than ever before from
those who are supposed to pay the
tax. So closely coupled is the in

both of them will go along together

against the other for revenue produc-
ing potentialities, and the District
will take the winner.
Weight Tax in Special Fund.
Third, there's the motor vehicle
weight tax, which originally started
out to aid the District in wiping out
an anticipated $6,O00,O00 budget
deficit and now finds itself consigned
to a special fund to be used exclu-
