The Board met last evening, pursuant to adjourn
ment. the President, CHARLES G. PIScKSLY, eeq.,
in the Chair.
communication was received from the Counsel
TO the Corporation in answer to resolution OF IN
ouiry as TO whether sufficient legislative authority
does not exist in the law Of 1913 to enable this
connty TO mise necessary taxes without further
leosIstive interference Mr.. Bronson saye that, on
careful examination Of the question, he is satisfied
thai i, would not be safe for the Sup rvsors to un'
dertake TO raise taxes without legislative authority:
The Legislature, Mr.. Bronson saye, has gwen all
the other counties of the State discretionary power
through their Boards Of Supervisors but this county
has been expressly excepted from such discretionary
power. There are some items expressly provided
for by law already, taxes for which might be levied
without additional authority but for most city eh'
penses authority must be yearly obtained Ane
