REAL ESTATE. POPULATION TREND IFLUENGES TAKE| Movement to Cities Caused Increase in Local Burdens, Dr. Heer Reports. The continued drift of the popula- tion to the citles of the country dur- ing the past two_decades had much to do with the mounting totals of local taxation, according to findings of the President’s Research Committee on So- cial Trends. ‘The chapter on “Trends in Taxation and Public Finance” was prepared for the committee by Dr. Clarence Heer of the University of North Carolina, who is vice president of the Tax Research Foundation. Cites Factors in Costs. In f{llustrating how continued city growth serves to increase taxation, Dr. Heer writes: “Such public services as police and fire protection, paved streets and side- walks, water, sewage and garbage dis- posal systems, isolation hospitals, parks and playgrounds may be dispensed with Residence at 4426 Lowell Street, Wesley Heights, recently completed for ‘Thomas F.

As clties increase in size, problems of traf- fic congestion and rapld transit arise, to solve which further outlays of public funds are generally required. “Local tax collections per capita are distinctly higher in urban than in rural areas. The urban burden, however, tfle:d} to increase as citles increase in Gives New York Figures, Dr. Heer cites statistics applicable to New York State, where the taxes and assessments in 1930 of cities of 250,000 population and over amounted to $79 per capita, as compared to a per capita average of $64 for cities having a popu- lation between 50,000 and 250,000, and a per capita average of $41 for cities of less than 50,000. ‘Town taxes, including school district levies, amounted to only $23 per capita in 1930. n North Carolina, Dr. Heer notes, a States with a relatively greater rural population and with no cities of over 100,000 inhabitants, the average fir capita burden of local taxation for in- corporated municipalities is approxi- mately twice as high as the correspond- ing average for unincorporated areas.
