The CONTROLLERS REPORT appeared in the
HERALD yesterday, and commends itself to
public attention, inasmuch as it shows the SUBJ
required to be raised by taxes this year to be
no less than SG,932,33 43, or about $40 per
head on the population of the city. This
enormous sum is of course great increase on
the tax levy of late years. So late as 1850,
some three millions and half we're more than
the city required: in 1880, the population
were taxed at about So so per head. Under
the economical administration of Mr.. Comp
troller Flagg, and the absurd system of di-
vided responsibility and increased expense
which now prevails, the taxes increase at the
rate of half q million year and more, and the
city is worse cared for than ever. Incumbents
of city Offices make fortunes during their two
years tenure of office; but the streets are
choked with filth, robbery and violence are
quite common, the city laws are grossly vic.
lated day after day, jobs Of the most netarious
character are of frequent occurrence, and It is
next to impossible to find who is responsible
and who is to blame.
A body of merchants, we hear, have peti.
toned the Legislature to strike out of the
tax levy certain items of expense. The pre-
sumption is against these gentlemen. It is
not by cutting off an item here and an item
there, or by saving few hundred dollars
on this or that object of expense, that
the evil can be remedied; and with all
their faults the parties who have prepared the
tax levy know better what is wanted for the
various city departments than a set of mer.
chants who only know that they object to pay
ing 30 heavy taxes. The real evil must be met
by radical measures of reform The root of
the mischief-tbe charter, with its divided
authority and complex and multiplying machi-
merry muet be struck st. If people want any
real relief.
