ority and only granting to them taxes, like a little

|
community that is incorporated, if it wants to have a one
|
|
3
|
per cent tax or something ond so forth, it could do so,

but it would seem to me that you could get more efficient

use of funds if you. only had one major taxing body for

MR. ENEY: If you had some sort of super-netro-
|

politan authority such as we have been talking about, do

you think it would be feasible to confer on it regulatory
|
|
13
|
powers but not taxing powers. or, would you have to have
|
|

|
taxing powers in order to make it function?

MAYOR McKELDIN: I think you would have to

|
|
17
|
taxing powers, I think it would lose much of its effective-
|
|
18
|
ness.

That is our problem now, the taxing problems,

and we have a metropolitan commission that we are working

on now, and we are having difficulty even with an incinerate
