Cigarette Levy
In DC. Exceeds.
Estimated Yield
80,
Cent-u-Puckuge Tox
Brings in $1,267, ,e57;,
Liquor Revenue Rises
BY Harriet Griffiths

Cigarette smokers contributed
81, ,267, ,s57.S8 to the Districts rev. /
enues during the IL months the
cent-a7pack sales tax was in ef-
feet in fiscal 1850. s
Receipts tabulated at the close
of the fiscal year, which ended
June 80, totaled nearly half
million dollars more than the
$500, 900 revenue estimated at the
time the levy went in effect last
August /.
Since then District officials had
been revising their estimates up
ward.
The increased tax on liquor i'm
posed under the sales levy sent
receipts from that source up from
$3.50 900 in fiscal 1949 to $751;
TIT last year.
In addition taxes on beer, which
went up cents case to dealers,
brought in $525,946 last fiscal
year, as. compared with $29o,476
the year before.
Sales Tax Yield Given.
The automobile excise tax
per cent on the fair market price
of any car at the time title is OBJ
tained-brought in $1,603, ,199. .65.
Officials had reported earlier
that the 2 per cent sales tax
yielded approximately $11.3 mil
lion during the fiscal year. This
was almost 81 million more than
original estimates.
Figures on other types of taxes
show that real estate leyies in
creased from $32. .085.5 .524 in fiscal
1949 to $35 .205, 1886 in fiscal 1850.
This reflected an increase in the
rate from 50 per 500 valuation
to $215.
Parking meters yielded 1924, ,093
during fiscal 1850. as compared
with $218,700 the year before.
Large installations of new meters
were made during the year. and
/ 100 more are being installed now.
81 Million Surplus Seen.
Inheritance taxes totaled ST..
658,073 last fiscal year, as COM
pared with $1,58s,o57 in fiscal
1949.
The Districts $118,O49,256 sup
ply measure for this fiscal year
is expected to leave a surplus of
about 81 million next July /. If
Congress decides to grant a full
$12 million Federal payment to
the District, the surplus would
be boosted by 81 million.
But other costs are expected
to eat into this, with supplemental
fund requests already pending for
such items as civilian defense and
rent control. In addition. the
pending five-day work week for
police would cost the city nearly
81 million more this year.
