The question of the assessment of
a highway tax still agitates both the
Council and taxpayers, and it is GER
tainly in the interest of the taxpayers
to give this matter their careful at
tention. The TINES suggests that a
tax of cents on the $Ioo would
raise about SI,Ioo and that certainly
is money enough to spend on the
streets-in fact it as much as the
public believe can be judiciously ex-
pended. 1t will certainly leave a
balance in the treasury to the credit
of wards one and two. Hence we
conclude that in justice to the public
highway tax not to exceed 8 cents
on the 500 is about what the tax
payers will be content to pay, and
that it will raise all the money that
ought to be expended on the high
ways the current year.
