_ County Library | by Kathleen Duffy

I Income tax forms have I arrived at the County I Library for distribution. I Congress and the White I House are talking tax I reform and a National I Issues Forum on Taxes. I Who Should Pay and Why? I is being sponsored at the I Main Library 7 p.m. Jan. 9. Most people feel our curI rent tax code is unfair, unI managably complex, counI ter-prexiuctive and in need I of drastic reform. Several I reform plans have been put I forth to the legislature and I they center on three I choices: 1) WHETHER deducI tions and exemptions I should be kept in the tax I code as incentives for I achieving certain goals I such as economic growth and home ownership or should it strictly be a device for revenue collecting? 2) How should the tax burden be distributed? - as a flat tax which takes the same fraction of everyone's income or a progressive tax that would redistribute income by taxing according to income brackets? 3) Untapped revenue sources could be explored such as the increase of corporate taxes or a national sales tax.

ALTHOUGH WE all '4 , agree on the principles of ** fairness, efficiency and simplicity we must decide on the trade-offs inherent in these choices. We must decide which activities, if any. are so crucial to the public interest that they deserve special tax treatment. even if deductions and exemptions introduce complexity to the tax code. We must consider what we are willing to give up in economic efficiency in order to achieve greater equality through a redistribute tax system. IN AN EFFORT to aid the citizens of Cape may County to inform themselves about national issues the Cape May County Library will hold a town meeting providing citizens with a way to involve themselves in public choices and to communicate with the political leasers in a non-partisan setting. Free booklets which clarify the choices facing us are provided by the library and are available at the main branch in Court House. Reading the booklet prior to the forum will aid your participation and understanding.

Another boat sunk during the "62 storm was the Johnny Boy. reported lost with everyone aboard drowned. That sinking was said to be off Atlantic City.
