CITY FINANCES At the meeting of the city
government on Monday, it was voted to assess
a tax for the year 1871 of $4,000. This sum
meets all the expenditures of the city for the
year, and pays $1,000 of floating debt. 1t Is
about four per cent on the valuation OF wv"
millions, against two and q quarter per cent
last year. But ii should be borne in mind that
the valuation Of the city is very low, being not
over al average of 90 per cent. on the cash value
of property. A. an instance Of the comparative
rate of taxation, it may be stated that in Port
land, bank stock is valued at S125 per share and
taxed three per cent. In Belfast it is valued at
$50 and taxed four per cent. The same rule
applies te ;hc cities Of the State generally, and
we believe that Belfast will continue to have,
Notwithstanding her debit comparatively low
rate OF taxation. The tax Of this year j, higher
than it will be again, and a gradual reduction
of the debt, with good management. VIII Soon
place us in first rate condition.
