INCREASING THE MILLAGE.
The Allegheny City Tax Likely to Be From
12 to Ia Mills.

12 to Ia Mills.
Since Allegheny has discovered deficiency
of nearly $500. .0OO the taxpayers will very likely
have to make up for it this year by living under
Ihe burden of tax levy of Il or 13 mills.
Emanuel Wertheimer, a member of the SUBJ
committee to find a method for making up the
deficit last night sald:
The best method is to put it in this years
tax levy, as that will save the city from paying
interest. II will take mills to make up the
deficit, and will make a fight to have the
whole debt included in the appropriation this
year. The city tax last year was 8 mills This
year the additional expense will run it up
from to N mills more. Then, with the 4
mills TO make Up the deficit the millage for
this year will range anywhere from u to IA
mills. This is not as heavy as it appears, for
Allegheny property is assessed at half its
Yalue.n
