Eleanor Gray of Ridley 'ark and Mrs. Doris Weller of State-Local Tax Cutbacks on Way You are only an average such projects as anti-pollution, La liny family if your federal-state-local tax bill this year comes to nearly $4,000. You're also only average if you now pay a state income tax as well as a state sales tax and if your property taxes are soaring at the rate of 10 per cent a You are typical, in brief, if you feel you are in a relentless bind --with almost yearly hikes in your state-local tax bills to pay for schools, roads, sewage systems, airports, welfare and everything you buy from auto gasoline to a 25c gadget. And all this on top of your mounting federal income tax and Social Security tax bills. Will relief ever come? For the first time in years of reporting to you on the increasingly grim state-local tax story, I think it is reasonable to hope for some easing of the squeeze.

But first, some startling background: School taxes on many property owners tripled are as being a doubled or result of luntingdoft Valley; one Ralph of son, five randchildren and three great grandchildren. Services will be 1 p.m. Thursday at the M. F. Williams funeral Home, Baltimore and Summit Clifton Heights.

Burial will be private. Calling hours will be 7 to 9 j.m. Wednesday at the funeral lome. reappraisals and in some cases, property taxes now amount to 25 per cent- of the property value. Elderly individuals living in poverty frequently are hit harder by property taxes than are younger, more affluent Americans.

The typical property tax on a $20,000 home ranges from $108 to $862 in various parts of the country. So and inequitable has the property tax become that many tax experts recommend either a. complete overhaul or the i a elimination of the tax as it now stands. How can this Jiave come about? Just a short listing of the forces responsible will be an adequate explanation: Ballooning expenditures for school building (up 58 per cent since 1965) and for (highway construction (up 21 per cent since 1965) The soaring cost of Welfare for many states and communities (a record 8,500,000 Americans are on relief, one in 40 of us); New budget provisions for jLewis airports, nuclear power plants, costly statewide college scholarship loans, pay hikes for teachers, nurses, public transit workers, The sharp rise in the number of federal grants available to the 50 states and 81,000 local governments on a matching basis with the states now laying out $10 billion a year to match federal 'grants for projects ranging from housing to college education. But the glimmer of hope for an easing is also clear: For many elderly citizens, veterans and.

businesses which are installing pollution controls, some states already have voted property tax relief and others are weighing it this year. An increasing number of cities are taking a new, hard look at vast amounts of traditionally a property (including churches, schools, state buildings) with the intention of taxing the properties if this can be justified. In New York City alone, there is an estimated $16 billion of tax- exempt property. Many state legislatures thjte year are considering flat grants to local school districts, simply Because the local districts can no longer raise enough funds through property taxes. The very fact that the- World War II "babies" will, now foe; moving into college and vocational schools should ease the cost of building elementary and high schools.

But of course, as you must be aware, the biggest hope for relief on this entire front is via federal revenue sharing with the state and local governments. Just before Johnson's term ended, his National Commission a recommended a flat 2 per cent a year return of federal income taxes to the states (about $6 billion.) President Nixon's Task Force on Urban Affairs has recommended similar federal- state-local sharing on a no- strings-attached basis. Nothing can happen until major cutbacks in Vietnam permit it. But the breakthroughs are in the making.
