REPUBLICAN VS.. CONSERVATIVE
RULE-PETERSBURG VS.. RICHMOND
FINANCEs.-We clip the following from
the Petersburg Index, which we commend
to the careful attention of our city fathers,
and to all others who are made to believe
that we would be eaten up by taxes if the
Republicans should get control of our city
government. 1t will be seen that the Pc
tersburg council, which has been, and is
now almost wholly Republican, has cash
balance in the treasury of$3S 900, and that
the finance committee proposes to reduce
the rate of taxation to $1.25 on the hum
dred dollars, and that, too, Immediately
after the election, wtile on the other hand,
we have been told by our finance commit
tee that we hadn't dollar to 20 upon;
that they had borrowed money from every
them dollar, and that unless
the rate was raised to $l.50, we would
have to 60 to protest. The Index says
"The finance committee after much delibe..
ration have concluded their labors, and
have adopted project which provides for
an ad valorem tax of $l.25 per hundred
dollars. This is great reduction on the
rates of last year, and will of course afford
Tellel W our people. .-....r..E
"The estimates for city expenditures
have been reduced to meet this reduction
of the rate of taxation. As single in
stance there is $25, 900 on streets, which iss
$15,0 900 less than last year, reduction of
over 80 per cent. Now the question is
whether the project will be strictly adhered
to, and expenses kept within the estimates,
or whether floating debt is to be created
which will have to be met next year by
the issue of more city bonds as has been
the case this year. m..a...
"The finance committee have some thirty
thousand dollars in cash to start with this
year, and we have the assurance of those
best informed on the subject, that $1.25
per hundred will be quite sufficient, if the
ad valorem principle is strictly carried out,
to meet all the requirements of the city
government, for the next year ; but it will
be necessary that every species of proper
ty contemplated in the law should bear its
due proportion of taxation, and that no in
terest should be protected at the cost of
another"
The Index of this morning says the
council, at a meeting last night, adopted
the report of the finance committee, fixing
the rate of taxation at $1.25 on the hun
bred dollars. So the people of the Cock
ade city should be happy for at least
twelve months. r-er
