The city council has agreed ON tax
levy of o mills for general revenue and
5 mills for interest on the bonded debt
Tile assessed value of all property in the
city on which the tax of 1883 will be
levied is 1888 ,l56. That will yisld a
revenue tax of $1,000 in round numbers

paid all of the revenue that this city
expended; but not dollar is received
from either of these sources now. AND
yet II is said that intoyicants are being
! sold here.
