II will be seen from his that the
city receives In annual rentals the sum
OF sl,341.22 for property which the City
attorney estimates as valued at 81, O00,-
o0O. The improvements on this prop
erty are valued at. probably, 500, 900,
including the handsome building recent
~ erected by Mr.. II. Lowcnberg. Should
the bill offered by MIR. Cooke become u
law, the city will receive in taxes an
nually the sum of SIS. 700 at $1.70 on the
$l0O-the present tax rate. At 40 cents
on the 500 the State would receive an
nually $1,000. 1t is to give the city this
increased revenue that the Councils are
so anxious TO have h bin passed.
Where such a sum of money Is in
Noived, II Is probable that n strong light

In speaking of the matter YESTERDAY
CITY Attorney Shelton said:
IN the majority of the leases Of this
property IT Is stipulated that the prop
erty should be subject to such taxes and
icVies as the law requires. The trouble
Is thnt the law as It stands requires no
