''The State tax for the city of Louisville
and the county Of Jefferson has also in
creased in about the same ratio In 1860
the State tax was 1923, 069.49; in 1859 it
had increased to $251, 1906, and in 1870,
to $685., 26S.79.
THE amount of tax per capita has also
largely increased. In 1860 the amount of
tax (city and State) in Louisville was
So 59-108 for each inhabitant, but 1870 the
amount had increased to over SIT.
There are in Louisville about one hun

business which must pay license tax
ranging from $40 to $500 each.
/ "Just as soon as Congress took off a
portion of the license taxes the city put
them all on again, but good deal
heavier"
