They were hopeful that Con- gress would authorize the borrowing of operating expenses from the Fed- eral Treasury until revenue is col- lected from new taxes. Remaining for settlement today are the Senate amendments authorizing installation of automobile parking meters and providing $20,000 to enable the Commissioners to have a more thorough study made of the city's whole tax structure with a view to possible adjustments at the next ses- sion of Congress. As the conferees pushed ahead to- ward settlement of their differences, Representative Celler of New York ed another attack on the Miller- o} resale price maintenance bill. a national measure which was added as a rider to the local tax bill in the Senate. This amendment also remains for settlement today. Celler denied reports that the ad- ministration has withdrawn objections to the resale price measure, and con- tended it may endanger enactment of the tax bill Property Owners Burdened. Chief :nterest will center today in the action of the conferees on the on the question of what part of the city's tmpending deficit should be placed on home buyers and other property own- ers. The House voted to raise the exist- ing $1.50 rate on real estate and tangible personal property to $1.70, which would have produced $2,500,000. The Senate struck that out and made & far-reaching change in the method of taxing property by fixing a rate of $2.50 per hundred on land, whether improved or unimproved, along with the $1.50 rate on buildings. This would raise $4,800.000, or a iarge part of the entire deficit, from property owners If the conferees go back to the uniform method of taxing land and buildings and compromise on the rate at $1.75 understood to be under dis- cussion, it would raise $3,150,000. More than $3,000,000 also was cal- culated as the probable yield from the compromise rate of two-fifths of 1 per cent on gross receipts. As passed by the House the gross receipts tax would apply not only to all busi- ness concerns, but also to professional groups. Persons who work for salary or wages would not be affected.
