tax now in operation which applies
regardless of where the automobile
Is purchased. The same theory
would apply to the purchase of
other articles outside the District
which would be taxed in this juris-
diction.
Many Details to Be Worked Out,
The tax experts admit there are
many details to be worked out in
connection with enforcement of the
use tax" With respect to automo-
oiles, 1t was pointed out, it would
be comparatively easy to check on
a District resident who purchased
a motor vehicle elsewhere. because
the certificate of title would reveal
the origin of purchase. But in the
case of furniture and other articles,
however, the experts admit a spe-
cial inspection bureau probably
would have to be created to make
a careful check on all such COM
modities subject to the tax which
are brought into Washington.
Aside from preventing any loss in
revenue from those who might make
purchases outside of WASHINGTON
the "use tax" it was explained, will
serve to protect the merchants OF
the city against any exodus of
buyers into nearby Maryland or
Virginia.
