Council PROCEEDINGS, August l4-Board of
Aifsrrasa Councils met last evening In special
sce,ion at the call Of the Mayor. -
Board ram ,ss Nave, d ,.,ns forth
that an imperative necessity for the speedy per-
FICTION OF the annual tar bin induced him to call
them together. He suggested modification Of
the amendment proposed thereto, making an ad-
ditional levy for the purpose OF cnerirg bornties
to encourage enlistments. The act Of May 18th,
1870, provides that no tax shall be laid on real
property at greater rate than i Of one per cent
The act OF Nay nth, 1913, extends the same pro-
vision to all personal property, except for special
purposes therein enumerated, and after providing
rsi.ed In each Ward shall be expended therein
and no other. The power to lay special tax 10
thus limited to few cases, under none OF which
oan the proposed amendment be classed. The
Mayor does not suppose the amendment would
meet with any objection from the citizens q
Washington, but be II seriously appreheuniye
that sales OF property for default In payment OF
taxes under the operation Of the smendmsnt msy
and will be set aside and made void, because Il
levies . tax for special purpose not enumerated
suggests the propriety Of simply adding to the
tax levy the amount by way % addition nece ssafy
TO realize what may be required without refer
ence 70 any purpose or any intended application
The tax bill was then taken up, and the board
refused to concur In the amendment proposed by
TIE Board Of Common Council.
