much improvement on the present system
The same reasons apply 10 the assessment OF
taxes. The assessment OF the entire city prop
erty b. a central board. as desired By some OF
the citizens would involve, In the judgment Of
your committee an expenditure FOR the main
talnance Of such board. ana It's assessment Of
amuch larger sum than that required for the
pay o. the supervisors Of the city without any
corresponding benefit 10 the city lsself; there
fore. no recommendation for a change has
been made by you committee.
Fourth-~Your committee would recommend
that the senl0r aldermen OF each ward be given
BY the amended charter = seat upon the Board
OF Supervisors OF the county Of Kent In order
that the city may be entitled % a Teprese nia
