THE SITUATION THE AREA CON
trolled by IVA finds itself in, with refer
ence to loss OF taxes from the private cleo
trio companies absorbed by the government
owned outfit, has brought considerable at
tention by legislators and tax experts Of the
country to the necessity of working out some
plan tor the taxation Of municipal utility
plants, in order that the tax burden may be
fairly and equitably distributed. Figures
shown by the privately owned electric con-
Germs, for instance, Indicate that more than
Is cents Of every dollar collected for electric
service is paid Tor taxes of various kinds
and when public ownership steps in and
takes over such properties, immediately this
tax revenue must be absorbed in some other
direction, under laws now in effect in many
states. Some Of the more alert states have
long since recognized this fact, and have TAX
en- steps to impose taxation on municipal
plants, which after all is the only fair pro-
cedure In one county in this state city

privately owned it would pay a worth while,

municipal plant benefit by this tax exempt
plan. The taxation of municipality owned
utility plants is one that should he given
