Seeks to Rush Final Draft.

Is a likelihood the real estate tax
rate may be reduced to hold down
the now prospective surplus of ST.

$1.60 real estate tax, on the basis of
the estimates, would be more than
adequate to balance the 1889 budget

DEFINITE DECISION
IS DUE TOMORROW
ON REVENUE BILL
Big Surplus in District Funds
or Balanced Budget at
Issue.
OPPOSITION is SEEN
TO HIGHER BEER LEVY
Drafters Hope to Get Tax Measure
Before House Committee
Wednesday.
By JAMES E. CHINN.

A definite decision is expected to
be reached tomorrow by the Fiscal
Affairs Subcommittee of the House
District Committee whether the 1899
revenue bill should build up a big
surplus in municipal funds, or be
fashioned to cover only the antici-
pated budget deficit of $3,7OO,OOO
If the subcommittee decides to con-
tinue the present SITS real estate
tax rate and adopts proposals to levy
a local tax of ST a barrel on beer
and increase the present tax on hard
liquor from so cents to ST a gallon,
1t is estimated the bill would yield
about $6,600.00 in additional revenue
Several members of the subcom-
mittee are understood to be definitely
opposed to recommending a tax pro-
program that would produce more
than is necessary to keep the District
out Of the red. For that reason some
opposition to the beer tax and the
higher liquor levy is expected.
Estimates Tabulated.
The Washington Board of Trade
mas told the subcommittee a $1.70
real estate tax rate, coupled with the
proposed beer and increased liquor
taxes would raise sufficient revenue
to balance the budget, making un-
necessary the introduction of an in
come tax. The subcommittee, how
ever, has definitely voted to retain
the income tax section in the bill.
Estimates given the subcommittee
show the various tax plans it has
under consideration will produce the
following additional revenue:
!. Income tax 1ess credits
for intangible tax pay
ments) --------- $4,000, 900
2. Doubling the hard-liq-
uor tax ----- 1900, 900
J. Continuation of s1.75

4. Tax of ST a barrel on
