CITY COIUMISSION �3EL�'TING
April 4th i949
To the H�nor a bl e?�4ayar
And Gentlemen of the Ccmmission
of the Cit3� of Clearwater:
As a taxpayer or Cleaxv��ater far more than �hiri�y-iive
,years, I ask to be heerd on a mattcr oi' �;reat importance to the
future �+�elf�re oi' our city.
T� Pro���r1y stress �thc usr*ene5= of the matter I am &baut
to �ropose, I de�ire to call S�aur attention to �: com.munication on
tLis subj�ct, in tha form of a latter aadresscd to Coloncl �lear-
water, appearing in �he Glearwater Su� Septr.mber 2g, 191j8.
In that communication I stressed, among other thi�;s,
the need ior a street improvement pro�ram i;hat rvould tielp relieve
the terriblE traf�ic bottleneck thai; exists in Clear�tiai;er; the
ne�d of a sufiicientl5� e�larged �tiai;�r system; tne need �� m�ving
th� city d�:mp and inciner�tor at ler�st five �r six miles out of
thc ci ty ,
klr�ads it has becn dem�nst�tzted thet Clearwater must
do sometliing about ,its street inprovement �r��ram, r.nd quick.
Citizens irom a large portion of Clearwateris best
residentisl areas are e�mplaining hitterly, and just�y so, �bout
the offensive�ess �:f the incinerator anc city dump.
Already c itiz ens ha ve been he ard to c om�>lain abo ut the
dangerousl3r low water pressuro in some sections oY th� city, duc
to our inadequate water system for pressnl; necds, to say n�thing
oY expand�ng needs in our ra�idly grov�ing city.
These Are �nly a few of the nost i.mperative needs.
It v�ill take mon�y , tax money , to relieve all thes�
and many more nPeds. I say tax money, oecause all the loose ta]1s .
we have heard recently ar,ou� state aid to municipalities is just
so much bunk. The state itself is Pacins a large de�icit; the
Govern�r says 53 millions must b� raised. ^10 hope Yor Governmcnt
aid to �nunicipalities is do�n�nright silly.
�'oliticians are cryin� fax :educti�n ox complete aboli-
tion oP homestead �xemption, F;omestcad exemption has already been
practically nulified in Glearv;atPr by the city arbitrarilv doubling
t�e assessnents on h�mPe last year. For instancc, the a��essment
�n a w5000 home that was enjoyi�g a�;5000 �xemption was raiseci�to
kl0,OQ0 on the t�x b�oks, th�reby c�mnelli•r�� the owner oY a`f5000
aome to pa5� taxes on a,�5OD0 value abovc his constitu�i:,n�:l ,�5000
exempti�n,
Z, city sal� s an trar! sact i�n tax is :t�e only prr�ctic al
solution t� the financial dilemma our city is con�r�nted v�ith. A
two percent general tax coverir�g a11 trans�zctions in CJ.,earwater
will produce approximately �1,2.50,000 �nnually, based c;n the present
busincss -�urnvver, �nn thc revenue w ill st�adily increasc 2s thc city
grow s and the tur,�ver is gi�eater.
I canteuci that v,e hav� as pr�gressive a bo�rd or city com-
missi�ners as you can �ind a�tywhere, Z know tt�t you gentlr.mrn
would like to see �ll these needed improvements accomplished. But
you can da nothing without Yunds. Thin.k what coulcl be accomplished
Por Clear=,�ater with �ne and a quarter million dollars?ronarly applied.
Clear�tiat�r�s total es�Gimated income Por the present physical
year will t�e apnroximately �p810,000. This includes income from rent
ou leased proper�Gy: inc�me i'rom ReaT Pstate tax; income irom Gas and
VJater department; income from fin�s and forPeiturPss income from
utility and garba�e tax. OP this amount �b92,515.�0 h�d been collect-
ed to h7arch 1st,
Real �state is carrying all thc load it can stand arxi I warn
that additional tax burdcns plGced �n real estatc oy stato, county or
city �overnments v!�ill surely invit� a t�xpnyer's strike such as existed
in the cerly thirties, v,hen Cl.earwater's credit w.�s im�airca and. its
b�>n�s went t;e��in�; �t 2fi ccnts �n the dol.lar and sold f�r �s low as 12
c e�t s on th e d� 11a r:.
':rith this ne�v revenue from a tv�o �ercent ,�neral sales and
trans�ction tax, the city could abolish the utili-cy, �arbat;e and srwer
taxes ��nd cut the �^cai estate tax in half, cut �ing th� mill��;e from 10
to 5 mills .

Gi' the i;hree �reat toui�ist st�tes, two have state sales

this respect. Neithcr of thc mther tTn�o states have lost any t�urist

Accord3,+n� �a thr. ab;o:;ra mentioned Hotel journ�l, more than

Tt�e constitutionality o� a lq1i,7 Nev� Jersey lav� , autYlorizing

powering the city to provic'.e for a tv�o percent sales and trattsacti�n ta�

can come from obtaining this autnority, and on the �the�r hand it may preve
