Dealers
Hit Tax Boost

In a letter to the City Council
the Detroit District Retail Lum'
Der Dealers Association toda,
went on record as opposed TO any
increase in the 1941-42 city budget
which may result in higher taxes
I'VE feel that the increase In
values OF property In Detroit,
together with new construction
already added TO the tax rolls,
should take care Of all increased
city expense and enable you to
accomplish q considerable reduc-
ton In the existing deficit" the
letter said.
"Many prospective home own
ers are telling us that, In view
OF the rapidly increasing tax
burden, Il Ii cheaper to rent
than TO own q home. A great
number already have built homes
outside the city. A further in
crease In the tax load Will only
accentuate this movement"
