From the New York ening Post of April "a.
:" IL appears from statements made at pub
lie meeting Of the electors, on the goth inst
that we annually expend about eight hundred
thousand dollars, Independent Of all national
and state taxes. Our city taxes are over two
hundred thousand per year, aud our assess
ments, between two aRd three hundred thou
sand dollars annuallr<4

required TO sustain III civil lists Of Vermont,

and, Connecticut. Wv York, New Jersey
Pennsylvania and DeawA, when their pop
ulaiIon was over three millions. The popu-
laiIon OF these s,aies, including Maine, is now
nearly five millions, and yet the city Of New
York, With population Of one hundred and
twenty three thousand, does not fall greatly
short of the annual expenditure covered over
all the civil Isis, put together this SUN be.
ing about one million, and our expenses, eigh,
hundred thousand dollars.
" The city OF New York expends more
than all the states and territories beyond the
western mountains, comprising population
sufficient TO constitute an empire OF no ordin-
airy magnitude. She expends more than The
whole annual civil list Of the United States
from 1900 TO 1909, coming down to period,
when our population was between six and
seven millions, and more than is now requir.
ed, TO support the state governments Of
New York and Pennsylvania, with popula.
| ton OF more than two millions.
" During the most prosperous period ofour
/ national concerns, when our commerce was
the most extensive, and when Mr. Jefferson's
administration was hailed as the golden era
Of greatness and the bright reign of repubiic-
aDisIn, the who.e internal revenue Of The Uni
ted States, did not amount to what we expend
yearly for city purposes.
: The salaries OF all the officers o. the state
New York, amount to about twenty seven
thousand dollars the salaries OF our city Of

population OF one hundred and twenty thou

lailon OF thirteen hundred thousand and up
wards
Our city debt is fifteen hundred thousand
dollars I; our taxes for 1929 are TO be two

considerable portion OF floating debt must
