A new pattern of local finances is emerging from a broadening of the tax base to include a number of nonproperty taxes. One development in thisi movement has been the spread of incomes taxes on the local level. '"The income base had generally been considered unsuitable as a local tax. Today, how- •ver. a number of our cities and other localities are deriving substantial revenue from this source. *The future may find that the income tax hps been developed to an fven greater extent in the search (or additional income." r Municipal taxes, the analysis •points out, have been variously labeled as payroll income, wage, earnings, and earned income taxes. -The first such tax put into opera*- Ition was the Philadelphia levy which became' effective January 1, Skmo, following the invalidation of a previous income tax. New York fcity had enacted an ordinance in u<H?h polled for a tax of 15 cent of the tax paid to the federal government !f w»j, however, repealed before put into operation. Since the end of the war, the payroll incomfe tax has been adopted in a number of cities: Toledo. Columbus Youngstown. Springfield and Dayton. Ohio; St. Louis, Missouri; | Louisville.
