District has In its tax structure
several taxes levied elsewhere by
States and counties.
This would have the effect OF
making the Districts tax burden
high In comparison with those
of most other cities. he noted.
"For example, were we to add
to the amount Of New York City's
taxes the amount of income taxes
collected by the State Of New
York in New York City, then the
figure Of taxes collected In that
city would be much higher" he
explained.
\ Mr.. Fowler found the results
Of the study both discouraging
and encouraging from the stand
point Of the Districts fiscal pic
ture.
Some might infer that the Dis

adding that this could lead to q
reduction in the city's revenues.
