a....d the Aldermen on Thursday evening.
IN, Isl Two were unanimously agreed to.

BIZ cane NJ,
Mr. Afcheson desired to call attention to
,be pyayi-ion by which ten per cent. dis
,.lpi is made on bills psid before She 10Th
gfInie This he thought made t~o classes
in tbs community and was unjust. Besid:s
l,a ciy Losses $4,000 per annum. 1t is
msninm for paying ones just debts and the
sboe community had to pay $4,000 addi-
,9oa in order to give this discount TO some
sypsyers.
Nj Fisher thought the point 8 good one,
bst 40 late, as it was absolutely necessary
70 pfss the bill tonight as the old tax bill;
sil 20 into operation, and that also con
sjaed he provision TO which MIR. Aitche'
.,r nbaclcd.
Mr. Saowdsn said he had been struck
7bh the arp,rent force Of Mr.. Aitcheson's
elections SID had made inquiry on this
.u.i-cr. OF Collector Hills bills $4,000
at Of $4,000 had been collected under the
lea per cent reduction, and was SO of the
EboIe amount which was paid to Mr.. Hill,
he other s. 900 vas in part property in It'll
s.on. etc. 1t was mistake to suppose
DE ricl people got all the advantages OF the
;ejueiloG The poor people are those that
;riye to yet their taxes paid early and get
ne beG,it Of the reduced tax. Some, OF
VHr.e. iailed, Int all rules had exceptions,
and taxes and desth are the two certain
AiTgs
Mr.. Atcheson then moved to strike out
-'r AMI insert five per cent as the discount.
Il. sajG the principle was wrong but the
matte. hAi gone so far this year that he was
siiag 20 ecaert halfway measure, ana
tls would bs served By making the cis-
uant i've per cent Taxes ought to be
Hua,; ore msn should not be taxed more
tan another. If pecesssry better borrow
s. 6 per cent. and pay in July bonds.
Mr.. SnoWdau said the amendment would
+ 10 enect al ipcrease Of taxes which
agbt 10 ue made as low as possible.
Mr.. Fisher urged thst something must De
lone to get sufficient money by the lst CT
l.y 10 meet the engagements OF the city,
ni tdis discount was the only thing that
7ouId do Is.
Mr. Aitchsson-"Would it not be better in
business point OF view to borrow de
Nd,4: Il can't see where you get your
ssht.pinths that have the benefit of the re-
lacon. Out of $50 900 paid in last year
ally 500 coo was paid in subj ect to discount"
Ai..r severe! suggestions that it was I'M
praljyely necessary TO pass the bill at once,
Mr.. Atcheson said he would withdraw MS
raiion, but next year he would fight 1t out
% thi- Iinc il it took al summer.
Mr.. Snowdon-"Next year hope we shall
lave lax of l75 cents instead of 200 cents. y
The bill was unanimously agreed to and
be board n Jufned.
