Leaflets on Use

City Pays for Cost
Of Promotion Sent to
Customers With Bills

The Potomac Electric Power
Co., the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association and the
District Government have be-
gun joint leaf1et campaign to
promote fringe parking.
Friday, Pepco began mailing
with its electric bills, 100000
leaflets to customers who live
In areas that would lead them to
use fringe parking. Another
100000 leaflets will be mailed
by members of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association
with their monthly bills.
City Pays for Leaflets.
The District is paying for the
printing of the leaflets, which
explain fringe parking and give
bus schedules from the two lots
now in operation-at South
Capitol Street Bridge and at the
Carter Barron Amphitheatre.
The lots are designed to cut
downtown traffic by providing a
free place to park and bus SER
vice from the lot to the business
area.
Because of the way mailing
lists are set up, some of the leaf
lets will probably be sent to per-
sons living in the downtown area,
although the mailers are trying
to avoid it, according to William
B. Hampton, assistant director
OF the District Motor Vehicle
Parking Agency.

Maryland Tax Cited
As D. {. Scans Levy
On Suburbanifes
Star staf Photo.

Reports that the District is
considering a payroll or earn
ings tax designed to hit resi-
dents of nearby suburbs who
work in Washington brought a
reminder today that Maryland
already has a withholding tax for
ut-of State residents who work
there.
Under a law passed in 1887
persons who are employed in
Maryland but live elsewhere
are required to file -non-resi-
dent income tax return each
year.
The same law, according to E.
Colman Barrett, manager of the
Washington branch of the Mary
land controllers office, requires
employers, other than the Fed
eral Government, to withhold tax
money after the salary reaches
an amount equal to the total of
authorized exemptions.
Maryland. however. gives credit
for local income taxes paid else
where.
Virginia Reciprocity Pact.
In Virginia, all persons living
in the State have to pay State
income taxes regardless of where
they work, but out-of- State resi-
dents who work there are not
subject to State taxes. Virginia
also has a reciprocity agreement
with Maryland whereby most of
it's residents, if they work in
Maryland. can get refund when
they file that States non-resi-
dent returns. This is because
Virginia income taxes are higher
than those in Maryland.
The District Commissioners
will receive proposals this week
for tax increases, Commissioner
Samuel Spencer revealed Satur-
day.
One of the chief plans ex-
pected to be suggested is some
form of payroll or earning tax,
affecting thousands of Maryland
and Virginia residents employed
in the District.
In the case of Maryland and
the District, person filing re-
turns in both places, under the
Maryland system, generally
would have to pay more to
Maryland because of difference
in exemptions. A married couple
in Maryland. for instance, has
an exemption of $4,000. In the
District. the exemption would be
$4,000. Hence, a person who pays
$75 tax in Maryland and $50 in
the District would get credit in
Maryland for what he paid to
the District.
Maryland Might Lose.
Should the proposed District
tax on non-residents be clas-
sified as an income tax, Mary
land would have to give credit
for the amount paid and would
stand to lose thousands of dol
lars each year in prospective
revenue, Mr.. Barrett said.
He said this would seriously
hurt the financial structure of
Maryland and the nearby coun-
ties, including populous Prince
Georges and Montgomery, which
share in the State income tax
returns.
Mr.. Barrett indicated that
Maryland might have to change
its system of allowing credit for
tax paid elsewhere if the pro-
posed tax is deemed an income
tax.
If it is ruled a payroll tax,
however, that would be a diff
ferent story, Mr.. Barrett said.
Maryland has ruled that a pay
roll tax is not income tax and
therefore no credit can be given.

The number of bus passengers,
Mr.. Hampton said, has not been
corresponding to the number of
automobiles on the lot because an
unknown number of people scorn
the special bus service and walk
out to Sixteenth street to take a
regular bus.
The Carter Barron lot can hold
TAO automobiles. The older South
Capitol lot is running just under
200 cars day, Mr.. Hampton re-
ported. His survey shows: Last

vanced in the Central belt. The crop
averages about week to 10 days late

late in Western section. The crop in the
Far West ranges from two to three weeks
late compared with last year at this
time, the firm observed.
Heavy rains reported in Western and
Central Oklahoma and in Texas on

wanted at this time. A period Of warm
sunny weather is now desirable in most
areas OF the Cotton Belt, dealers said,
