Maj Charles W Katz urged Congress to favor a fixed proportion of local municipal expenses paid from the Federal Treasury, arguing one half may be too heavy for the national government. He said community interests grow faster than federal interests and that the tax burden is undue. Brownlow and Newman supported a different approach, while other officials favored retaining the half and half system or abolishing taxes. The debate followed earlier calls from joint citizens and various commissioners.
