for heavy tax boosts early next

This was disclosed yesterday
by District Commissioner SAM

on this is scheduled for Octo-

During the last week. 1t was

This Is $3.50, ,934 less than the
District plans to spend during
that period--a deficit caused BY
pay raises ordered by Congress
shortly before adjournment Of
the last session.
The revenue estimate, how
ever, is nearly $1.4 million higher
than earlier forecasts tax gain
