N,TuB NEW OPPREss On LICENsEs.-The bill
"to regulate licenses how pending before tho
City Council, Is the chief topic OF discussion
among our citizens at present, and complaints,
both loud and deep. are frequent.
Yesterday morning. witha view OF asceri aiming
something definite in regard TO the proposed
workings Of the provisions Of this bill, and also
something relative to the ia Scs upon personal and
real property, we called ui,on Mayor Pillsbury,
and he, in response to our questions, answered
substantially that, the interest Oh the city debt
was ssl4ooo, one-fourth Of which (s7S,5O0 would
have to be paid during the month OF January;
that to meet this the bill to regulate licenses
was introduced that If its provisions be carried
out, $40 900 could be raised that there would be
introduced shortly an ordinance providing for the
taxation OF real and personal property; at what
rate he could not say but IL would have 10 be suf
fcieut with the tax on licenses to defray the cx-
pcnses Of the city government for 1870 which
would be about sSo0,0oo
Here our interview with the Mayor terminated,
and we then called upon the appraiser and
learned from him that the appralsement OF the
real property had not been completed, but he was
Of the opinion that the value OF 1t would be little
over s2s 600 600. The value Of the personal prop
erty he did not know.
The personal property OF the county Is valued
at S. 500, ,OO0-maklng the value OF the city ror-
tlon perhaps s0,ooo,ooo In the appraisement OF
the real property the glebc lands (which have
never before been assessed) are included.
From parties who are in position to know
whereof they speak, We learned that an effort
would be made at the secret session OF Council
(held last mighty to modify the 'bll to regulate
licenses,n so as to make the tax fall equally
upon oil, instead OF heavily upon those
who ore the least able to bear 1t, as the pro-
visiens of the bill (as 1t now standsI provides. 1t
was also thought that the clause OF the bill rcla
tive to brokers, OF which they very Justly conf
plain, would be greatly modified.
