and would then be returned to
The city sales tax, Meterz said, would raise at least $400,000 additional revenue for Lawrence. The money would provide for 31 new employees for the police department and 15 additional firemen.
Mettier said the sales tax was the best method for obtaining more revenue. He said the tax law requires that residents be permanent residents or not. The tax base would thereby be enlarged, he said to include all taxes collected and to pay taxes to the city before.
