S"uhch VI INC oeconu uuhlciPahty on account OF
the double tax imposed for the present year. Cir
eumstances beyond human control rendered the
present high tax necessary. We should be as far
from justifying such measure under ordinary cir
cumstaness as any one in the Municipality but
when great calamity has fallen upon us, for
which, certainly, the Second Municipality Council
| cannot be held responsible, who would not prefer
to pay high taxa double tax, rather than see the
Municipality repudiate its debts, and the hundreds
| of poor laboring men which this very calamity has
rendered it necessary to employ, 60 without their
wages and their children crying for bread :? But,
waving for the present all discussion on this point
as long as this new law remains in force no such
tax can be laid by either Of the Councils no matte,
what extraordinary circumstance NAV render il
necessary or expedient until il has been submitted
to the people and sanctioned by a majority of the
legal voters residing within the Municipality. The
7th section of the act which contains this provision
we also give below, that it may be resxamiped bv
