6 ~ PHILADELPHIA TAX PROBLEM IN CHAOS Special Levy Question Face of 1933 Financial Need Threatens Battle. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. PHILADELPHIA, November 26 (N.A.- N.A).—The financial program of the Fhiladelphia municipal government for the next year never was in a more cha- otic condition than at this time and with December 15 as the final date fixed by law Tor adoption of a budget and_establishing. a tax rate. Although it is the consensus that no increase in the tax rate can be foisted upon the taxpayers next year, there is equal reason to suppose there can be no_decrease. Briefly, Philadelphia’s financial pro- gram for 1933 will stand or fall on its special taxation program, and the pros- pect is not one with optimism. 2 Under special authority granted by the State Legislature, Philadelphia is empotwered 1o levy special taxes where there is no duplication of State taxa- tion. Of all the emergency tax measures that have been proposed, discussed, and, without exception vigorously at-| tacked on oll sides, it is a foregone conclusion that only 2 part of them will be approved finally by Council.

Before that can be made effective the legislation must be approved Mayor Mocre, who has maintained a Toticeable reticence on the subject. urther, there is City Controller the city leaders face | THE SUNDAY ST!

November 26.— The South Carolinz Railroad Commis- sion today rejected proposed rate re- suggested by the Duke wer Co., the Southern Public Util- - ities Co. and the Broad River Power Co. Announcement of the rejections was made by J. C. Coney, chairman of the Railroad Commission. He made public a report sighed by Maj. A. R. Wellwood, chief engineer of the electrical utilities division, who recommended that the proposed reductions be not accepted and that the commission continue its in- vestigation of public utilities. The Duke Power Co. and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Southern Public Utilities Co., both of Charlotte, N. C., serve the Piedmont section of this State.
