IT, ne lion me BOARD Of Counciirer
GENILEMES--I am con ,,ra aimed TO withhold
ny approval iiom the ordinance 20 amend the
ordinance making the snnuil appropriations for
the support Of tho Government. of the CO. Of
New York for tho year 1861. and for other pur
po,cs approved March 10, 1861, and reducing
ne appropriation for supplying def 'iencie' in
the Tax Levy for 1859 fon fi60, roo to ~. 900.
The ordinance ms originally passed. has been
already re- enacted by the Legislature in the
Tax Law OF the pro ent wear, aud the orlin ,nce
Of the Board of SUPERVISORS for raising the taxe.
Of the year eml rass the same amount as is now
p-oTo ed TO 10 charged Tho act If tho Legis.
lsture contains provision section 8, that no
portion OF the sums Of money Appropriated by
the Common Council "tbdll be- ex PENDED for or
tboee specifically ramed and provided for in
such appropriation" There can therefore he no
diversion Of the am unit thus 10 bo raised from
lis legitimate purpose, while the action OF tho
C'u mon Council is too lac to arrest the levy
and collection Of the item.
II ia, however, absolutely necessary 10 make
provision fl the deficiencies c. l-ed by errJ 10
Gus sssessmtnts, abs'sments and non collecting
of the amount Of taxes for tn year 1889, aud |
sm ccnvino, d that the amount of 5000, now
prcpo.ed to be substituted for $3.50, 600 will he
entirely inadequate for the purpose. The per.
centsge Of these deficiencies is found not 10 OK.
coed three pei cent ON the total amount u taxa.
ticn levied, and approve the suggestion that
in future the tax levy Of each year, should con.
tain provision to prevent subsequent applica-
tons 10 the Legislature, for what Is certain 70
happen in the cCsrse of collecting tbs taxes.
At present the necessity of supplying this def
cheney In the collections Of 1853 Is OF, Us.
For these considerations | have roturued the
ordinance to your Honorable Boy.
