This has been long expected, and the Commission- ers and citizens have sought the answer m new taration.

A. O'LEARY. A compromise plan involving a com- bination of sales tax and graduated come levy, to take the place of tk | controversial gross receipts tax, is be- lieved to be receiving tentative con- sideration by the Senate District Com- mittee in its effort to meet a la part of the city’s $7.000.000 deficit for the fiscal vear beginning today. When the committee adjourned late vesterday until 2 p.m. this afternoon, however, no decision had been reached and no information was forthcoming from the committee as to any specific | changes debated at the first executive session The only statement made by Chair- man King was that the committee merely had explored the entire sub- Ject, and listened to a resume by the their original tax recommendations and the various steps by which the tax sources were changed before the measure passed the | House. | Wide Range of Viewpoints. | In view of the wide range of view- | points in the committee as to how the needed revenue should be raised. there is no certainty that the idea of in- serting both a sales tax and an income levy will be agreed upon. These forms of taxation, however, were the two major issues on which most of the witnesses lined up during the three days of public hearings In other words, while the gross re- ceipts tax of three-fifths of 1 per cent on virtually all business and pro- fessional groups bore the brunt of the opposition at the hearings, the wit- nesses divided sharply as between the sales tax and the income tax as the proper substitute. This gave rise to speculation, there- fore, that a middle ground migint be reached in the committee by incor- porating both of these philosophies of taxation in the amended bill. The opposition that would arise in the Senate and House to either a sales Income tax amendment, standing alone, might be offset or lessened by embodying both plans.
