JUDoE CAREY is quite a plausible rea-
soner. In his address to the City Council
he said, among other things; "The as
sessed valuation Of tho property in the city
in 1882 was 81. 32s, $780, in 1884 it had in
creased to 80, 1891 400. The worthy Mayor
then proceeds to congratulate the people
that the tax levy was only 8 mills on the
dollar.
iii 1882 John Smiths house was as
sessed at 500 and he paid a tax levy Of s
mills on the dollar isn't he twice as much
out Of pocket in 1884 Il the assessment Of
his property is increased to 5000, even
though the tax levy remains the same ?
Doesn't he really pay 10 mills on the
dollar upon his original assessment of 800
in 1882
There is everything in the way a pro-
position is put. Make a tax levy Of 10
mills ON the dollar and people are Mortified;
double the amount of the assessment and
maintain the levy at 5 mills, aud people
plod along contentedly.
It's a great idea.
