NEARLY ELEVEN MILLIONS WANTED.
TIE Bosrd Of Aldermen have finally adopted the
Tax Levy for this year. and IS probable tina; Especial

through that Board. As the figures stand on the jour

We have given the matter pretty careful e1amins-
tier, and herewith present such explanation as will
give the taxpayers an idea of how ard where the
money goes.
L. is the fashion now for the C)mnon Council to
plead tha. they have no discretion the largest por
ton Of the levy, ard go shrk tho responsibility sup
posed to attach to them This i, in degree rie.
BY recent changes in the charter and by new lesis
stiye acts the Common Council have control over
the expenses for Schools, Police, Almt House, and
some other items, amounting in ell to three millions
Add to this 81 100000 for Stale taxes, and such other
matters a. the Central Park and Interest the Public
Debt, and the Common Council make out that more
than half the annual taxation s beyond their uIis-
dieton.
The direct tax for 1852 as adopted by TIE Bosrd of
Aldermen, amounts ~ the enormous sum Of
sIO.6J.,7i5 40. OF course we DO not expect any
BODY to be surprised at this amount; the tax esrneis
and taxpayers of NewYork are Ike the drugged bs-
bies of the AmS .Ht uss--no rsck neg thumb-scrsw

made rather more complaint when The taxes were un-
der 81 OOe 500 than they will now The exsction OF
two cents from every dollar Of their propery-thc e
psndure OF more money for governing the city than
John Quincy Adams spent to govern the whole nation
will scarcely arouse the s!eepe,, certainly not incite
them to any steps toward reform. In the table below
