Revised D. T.. Tax Bill
Get Favorable
Reportto Committee
Business Privilege
Exemption Raised
To $1,000

The tax subcommittee of the
House District Committee by unani-
nous vote today ordered favorable
report to the full committee at it's
next meeting on the revised tax bill
for the District introduced several
days ago by Chairman Jack Nichols
of the subcommittee.
Representative Nichols said after
the executive session that he is fully
confident that this bill will be
promptly passed. He has heard no
objections to it. He estimated rough
ly that it will probably yield 81 .00O,-
900 in excess of the District appro-
priation bill as passed by the House,
which totaled 46.9l5 900. The only
change made in the bill by the sub
committee today was to raise the
exemption under the business privi-
lege tax from $1,000 to $1,000. Last
year it was raised from $1,000 to
81 900.
The bill carries real estate and
personal property tax of $50 with a
ceiling of SITS. The extra 25 cents
or any part of it is discretionary with
the District Commissioners in the
event that there is shortage in an
ticipated revenue to meet District
expenditures.
The new bill takes out the sales
tax and substitutes a business privi-
lege tax against which is allowed S
per cent for corporate credit.
The four members of the subcom-
mittee who voted unanimously for
the bill today were Chairman
Nichols of Oklahoma, Dan r. Nc
Gehee, Democrat, of Mississippi, and
Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois and
George J. Bates of Massachusetts,.
both Republicans. Representative
Plus L. Schwert, Democrat, of New
York also is a member of the sub
committee, but was absent from the
city today.
