The Gencral Revenue Law OF Illinois pro-
vidos in Soc. 122 that tho Common Council
Of any city may annually, on Or before the
second Tuesday in August, certify to the
County Clerk the amount which such city re-
quiros to BE- raised by taxation for that year.
SEQ. 1o7 provides TINT the County Clerk shall
estimate and determine the rate per cont up
on the proper valuation Of property in the
city that will produce not less than tho net
amount, certified to him according to Inv.
Sec. 1913 directs that nll city taxes shall bo
extended against tho assessed and equnlized
values Of tie property in such city made by
tho Stato.
Tho assessed vAluo of taxable property in |
this city, as oqualized in 1874 by the State |
Board, was nbout 425o, ,0o0, ,0o0. For 1875 1t !
will probably not bs much lass, and may bs
about tho sumo.
This assessment in round numbers Is about |
one.sixth less thnn TINT mada by tho city. It
is sufficiently large at 2 moderate rate Of ta1
to produce oil the revenue the city may need.
1t in no way changes tho amount Of tar to be
paid by individuals. Thus rate Of 18 mills
viii produce the eamo amount Of revenue on
total asseBstnont Of $3.50, 900, 900 that u
mills will produce on q valuation Of $780,
co., 900, or 81, ,5o0, GOO in either case. This
assessment Ia mads by the county officers an
nun1ly. It il first returned to the County
Board, aud is then revised by the State Board
