tial provisions of the statute and this
can only be done by stating separately
the rate levied for each of the purposes
mentioned.
In the ordinance in question this has
not been done, but levy is made in
gross of mills on the dollar for the
three purposes mentioned in the charter.
What proportion of the Z mills is levied
for any one of the specified purposes
mentioned is not disclosed and no doubt
is unknown to the individual members of
the council.
Whether 5 mills, of ~ mills is levied
for water purposes, or mills instead of
for the contingent expenses or for
street purposes, is left IN such uncertain
lecture. An ordinance so vague and I'M
certain, is, in my opinion, nugatory and
void.
While the charter in explicit terms re-
quires that the levy, within specified linz
its, shall be made only for specific pur-
poses, it is not clear that the amount of
taxes so LEVIED for each purpose, when
collected, shall be expended for that pUr-
pose only, for the last clause in the Sec
ton quoted provides that the council
taxes as shall in their judgment be DEEM
ed most expedient
As from the nature of the case the pro-
per amount required Tor each specified
object cannot in advance be definitely
known in all instances, but it must be eS-
( mared merely. it isrnanifest that in
the change of circumstances and the aris-
ing of unexpected contingencies in con-
Quoting the affairs of the city it will
occur that portion of the
expended, in aid Of some
other of the specified objects
| am of the opinion that the last clause
of the charter quoted was intended to
