Annual
The Theater Tax
EDITORIAL

Earlier this year-On March 18, to be
specific-this newspaper editorially caution
ed City Council on the delicate question Of
what course to proceed with respect to the
existent three per cent admissions tax.
At that time we pointed out that 95 per
cent of the city's revenue from this source
was being paid by the lone local motion pic
ture house. We expressed the opinion then
that that situation resulted in the tax being
discriminatory.
At that time, we editorially called to City
Councils attention the fact that three COM
munities surrounding Port Clinton, i.e., San
dusky, Fremont, and Oak Harbor do not
have the so-called admissions tax.
We ventured the assertion that there must
be valid reason for 90 per cent of Ohio's
cities repeating similar tax measures and
pointed out that the theater business gener-
ally has been hardhit by the influx of tele-
vision Gan industry that pays no city tax
of which we are aware).
1t is well known that there have been in

stances where such tax ordinances have driv-
en- theaters entirely out of business-and a
community without theater today is well
on the road to ghostdom.
Attention is again called to the situation
in view of the city's recent announced action
to collect the tax here in the face of the
local operators admission that the theater
is not making ends meet. 1t would be gross
ly unfair of course, to chastise Mayor Harold
Jeremy for the turn of events. 1t is to his
credit that he has attempted to uphold his
oath of office
Hence, we repeat-as we did editorially
on March 18-City Council would do well to
proceed cautiously in the handling of this
problem If anything, the arguments are now
weighted more heavily in favor of the theat
er than they were nine months ago. 1t might
be well for Council to consider the wisdom
of imposing a city license at a fixed fee
rather than perpetuate what obviously is
discriminatory tax.

he said eve can stand $7O0 loss
in belief that things will soon i'm
prove, but $4,000 is too much. If
we're forced to pay the tax, it's
throwing good money after bad
and we wouldn't stay in business" T"
Mrs. Snyder pointed out that
even if the ordinance is repealed,
the theater still must pay the de-
linquent taxes, and that she felt
Council had no choice but to en-
force collection. Finance committee
had inspected the theater books in
July, it was pointed out, and it
was understood then that the tax
must be paid.
Mr.. Ochs presented a summary
of the benefits a good theater gives
to community and its incentive
to the economic picture. He de-
clared the admissions tax was dis
criminatory against the theater,
and charged its collection is not
enforced to all groups. He declined
President Bracken's request to
name instances where the tax had
not been paid, but made reference
to entertainments at which men,
bers of this august body purchased
tickets" which had not paid the
tax.
He said the admissions tax is
paid out of gross receipts, and not
charged to ticket buyers as an adj
ditfonal fee However, tickets are
printed to show the 80 cent charge
includes three percent admissions
tax, plus the federal tax.
Treasurer George Tewers point
ed out that when the admissions
tax was first put on, he recalled
the Clinton then under different
ownership raised its ticket price
five cents. Mr.. Ochs replied in the
negative to an inquiry whether re-
peal of the tax would decrease ad-
mission price.
Mayors Statement
Mayor Jeremy told Council he
served notice on the theater be-
cause Il don't want to go out of
office and leave somebody else
holding the bag to collect. I'd be
blamed"
Schade, whose verbal daggers at
the Mayor have been frequent, said:
We've been holding the bag all
year. A couple weeks more
wouldn't matter" Before Mr.. Ochs
started to explain the theater's po-
sition, Schade inquired ''Is it neces-
sary for Ochs to explain?" and
was told by President Bracken that
as a taxpayer, the theater head was
entitled to a hearing to explain his
problem.
Council is elected by taxpayers
to do the best it can, Bracken said,
and the admissions tax was insti-
tuted to relieve the general fund.
He mentioned sewer rental and
garbage taxes now being assessed,
questioned whether relaxing one
tax for corporation would be fair
to citizens asked to pay others.
Suggestion was made that the
finance committee study the prob
lem and make a future recon-
mendation. Schade, as chairman,
objected that he could not possibly
have time to do so in the next two
weeks, and said it seemed waste
of time.
The meeting had an anti-climax
when Ochs returned to Council
later in the evening. He said he
wanted to do one of two things
