The latter course would, in the
final analysis. result in addi-
tional and perhaps unequal
burdens to individual and busi-
ness taxpayers of the District. .
Mr.. Wixon said there was
nothing unusual about a sales
tax on groceries since they are
in effect in "a different juris-
dictions.
Land Being Reassessed
He reminded the subcommit-
tee that District taxes have
been advanced sharply since
1854 when the public works
program was initiated and that
any further increases would ac-
celerate the trend to move to
the suburbs. On this point he
stressed that there is underway
a city-wide reassessment of real
estate for tax purposes and this
would become effective in .960
1t was estimated that this re-
assessment ogram might
bring in additional revenue Of
about 81 million a year.
Mr.. Wixon also defended the
level of District real estate
taxes as compared with those in
neighboring communities. The
average effective District rea
estate tax. he said, was $1.2t
per 500 of value. He said thi.

Several members Of Congress

GROCERY

Senator Morse said, I'VE extort
tax on every bottle Of milk and
loaf Of bread bought. / don't
even mention meat because the
harsh fact is that little meat
can be bought by an old man or
woman who gets $56 a month
for every human need and who
must spend $50 to $40 for a
furnished room.
These are extreme cases,
yet we ought not forget that
10 per cent of the families in
Washington live on less than
$1,000 a year now"
Abiding to Mr.. Wixon's
testimony. Senator Morse said
he was not sure but what a
District revenue deficit for three
or four vars might be a healthy
thing. 1t should awaken Con-
gress to its failure to meet its
obligation to the District. he
said. suggesting again that a
drive be made for an increase
in the Federal payment.
Prefers Realty Tax Rise
Senator Morse also said SEN
ators should take a long look
at District real estate taxes to
see if they are too low and
whether taxes on ability to pay
ought to be increased. He said
he felt an increase in real
estate taxes would be preferable
to the sales tax on groceries.
Senator Javits filed a state
ment saying that he could see
no reason why the $2.2 million
revenue from the grocery tax
could not be given up because
District income taxes have pro-
duced $50 million above what
city officials had estimated last
year.
Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin filed a statement say
ing that the loss Of the grocery
tax revenue would necessitate
drastic curtailment of essential
municipal functions.
He added that since the bill
in its present form does not
provide a substitute source OF
revenue 1.-THE only alternative
to the impact of S-l590 upon
the Government of the District
would appear to be a corre-
spending increase in the Federal
