TO the rotcrs OF the city and county ofAleHandria:
The Commissioner If me hevrhue no. having
fully made up his books, il is impossible to AS
certain the exact per centage necessary to raise
Tour :huus md dollars, which is the sum we are
author zcd to Ink ourselves in aid Of the public
schools. Thinking it better that each one should
un Ierstand how much he would have to pay
befJre voting, named one dollar Oh u thous-
aid, tho tax levied by The State for school pur-
poses but as it appears, from careful estimate
Of tho value Of real an personal property made
by the Assistant Commissioner, that that rate
would raise more money than is needed, l have
concluded to submit the question to you in this
form:
shall the rel and PERSONAL property Of this
city and county be taxed an additional four
thousand dollars for the support of public
schools?
Voting in favor of tho proposition will GER
tainly not involve Il greater tax than one dollar
on Il thousand, and il tho estimate BIO correct
not more than eigh.y. five cents vii be required
