Public Heariinq
Won't Be Held
On Tax Boosts
Spencer Defends
8 Proposed Boosts
As Being Equitable

District Commissioner Samuel
Spencer said positively last night
that the Board of Commission
ers will hold no public hearing
on the $40 million local tax
increase program.
Speaking on the weekly radio
broadcast, Commissioners Re-
port" over Station WWDC, Mr..
Spencer said the public will get
chance to air its views dur
ing joint hearings in Congress.
The Commissioners was re-
ferring specifically to the $50
million tax boost proposed by
the city heads on Friday. The
increases would apply to eight
categories: gasoline, cigarettes.
beer, other alcoholic beverages,
individual income, telephone
service, insurance premium re-
ceipts and bus companies.
$305 Million Program.
The tax increases, and a
25-to-33 per cent rise in the cost
of water and new sewer serv-
ice charge would enable the
city to finance the $305 million
public works improvement pro-
gram, along with Federal loans
and higher Federal payments to
the city.
Mr.. Spencer said the tax rec
concentrations will be Oinccr-
porated into legislation author
izing the works program. He
indicated that the city's legal
experts have been given the full
speed-ahead signal in order to
get the proposed bill to the Fed
eral Budget Bureau early next
month. The bureau already has
agreed with the Commissioners
on the latest formula for financ-
ing the plan.
Despite protests from various
industries that would be affected
by the tax boosts, Commissioner
Spencer declared that the higher
levies would not impose a heavy
burden on anyone. 81 do not
believe it will set very heavy on
the average citizen" he said.
Liquor Tax Up Csc a Gallon.
He added that the taxes in
volved are generally lower than
those in other jurisdictions, in
Guiding neighboring Maryland
and Virginia. Mr.. Spencer
pointed. out, for example, that
even with the proposed 25-cents-
per gallon raise in the liquor tax,
this levy here would still be lower
than that of the two States. The
penny er-gallon gasoline tax
hike would put the District on a
par with the Scent rate now
prevailing in Maryland and Vir-
ginia.
District officials have pointed
out that only in the cigarette
tax field would the District be
at disadvantage with respect
to the adjoining Jurisdictions.
Mr.. Spencer was asked last
night on the radio program why
the Commissioners had kept
hands off the real estate tax,
biggest single revenue producer
for the Government.
"This source" he said, "is our
emergency reserve in the event
our revenues drop down because
of a decrease in business. Be-
sides, Mr.. Spencer added, this
tax at present is amply high"
