ASKS SHARE IN TAX

After the mayors pay roll tax
plan received such a buffetlng
from all sides and the public
utilities tax became faced with a
long, drawn-out court fight, 1t be-
came open season.
Within q few days. Councilman
ComStock had lunch with Jefrles
and proposed revenue plan
which is a honey but which must
remain secret until the proper
missionary work is done on il.
A few days later, City Treas
urer Cobo asked the council 10
investigate possibilities OF secur-
ing a portion Of state sales tax
revenues for civilian defense.
The same day, Richard A. Sui
livan. the city's public utility con-
sultant who authored the utilities
tax. comes forward with a new
excise tax which would nick the
incomes Of every fair-sized busi-
ness and manufacturing concern
in the city.
Councilman Rogell, while he
has not Yet proposed a plan adj
mitS that. he has been scanning
the field Of taxation for a good
possibility

COMMITTEE LIKELY

All in all nothing has escaped
attention. Thcater tickets, hotel
bills, night club checks and all the
other WAYS by which Detroiters
spend their money are under the
gimlet eyes of city hall postwar
planners
The probable outcome Of this
will be the formation Of an off,
cial tax committee 70 reach into
the residue Of plans and come up
with one that is sure fire. In
fact. Rogell said he would pro-
pose such a committee at Mon
days council meeting.
There is apt 10 be some OBJ
lection 10 a council committee
for this purpose. because IL is the
prerogatiye Of the executive
branch Of government 10 submit
tax plans for the approval Of the
legislative branch.
Councilman Comstock. with a
wide background in tax matters.
strongly iavors the committee
plan.
although ! am generally
credited. or blamed, for the
states sales tax" ComStock
said, at actually was the prod
uct OF just such committee.
l appointed the best people I
could think Of. told them the
state desperately needed new
revenues and told them TO agree
on a plan that was fOol-proof.
NEED FOR COMMITTEE
after threshing around for
while. they came up with the
per cent sales tax. I believe
Detroit needs committee OF
that kind, but suspect II
should come from the mayor"
Should JeffrieS appoint such a
committee. it propably would be
composed of representatives from
the council, the corporation coun-
sells office capital labor and in
dustry, with the help Of out
standing local tax attorneys.
In the matter Of securing state
and federal funds. progress has
not been so great. As far as
Washington is concerned, the
moro progressive members Of city
government has long maintained
that what the city needs is an
out-and-out lobby.
That, may be a major move Of
the JeffrieS third term. Some
body. il is argued. will have TO be
there representing the city when
that postwar federal grab bag is
thrown open.

But, as few realize, develop
