Cities Seek Part
Of Sales Tax Levy
Request One Per Cent
kiek-Bock From Sfote

FLINT, Mich, May IL - (P)

Michigan's major cities set forth
today on an ambitious program
to increase municipal incomes
through a state sales tax TO be
established expressly for the

dry, of Flint, who was one of
the conferees, indicated there
would be strong insistence on
the part of the municipalities in
the demand for aid.
I'VE ask for a return of a one
per cent sales tax" he said. If
the legislature believes that the
state must continue to take a
three per cent tax for itself,
then it can levy a total of four
per cent"
The initial meeting here was
coincidental with Flint's pres
ent strike of school teachers and
school maintenance men for
higher pay - one of a recent
series of such strikes in Michi-
gan calling in effect for larger
public treasures.
Some 28,500 pupils had no
schools to attend for second
day today. The strike closed all
IS public schools.
The state now collects $780,
100000 a year from the sales
tax. If the contemplated drive
for portion of it for munich
palities were successful, the
cities would receive $30,000,000.
