Tax Aid Doomed,
Poll Reveals
Outstofe Legislators
Oppose Cities Plea
BY DON GARDNER
Detroit Times Lansing Bureau

LANSING. Jan. 26-No plan
which calls for the division OF the
states surplus revenues among
local units of government can pass
the Legislature. a poll of lawmak-
crs showed today.
Likewise outstate legislators
are unwilling to allow the ear
marking of any portion of state
tax for use by hard pressed cities.
A cross-Section OF their think
ing indicates:
They feel sorry for Detroit
and would like TO do something
for the city since they know
citizens there are being taxed
high AS il is.
2-Cities which have voted
themselves under the l5-mill
limitation will get no sympathy
so how can we help Detroit
and not help the rest?
3-Confusion with regard 10
the existence of surplus. Out
state lawmakers will not admit
the state has a hoard OF un-
spent money lying idle.
