Committee introduced. under suspen-
sion of rules, the tax levy bill at 2 30 D.
m yesterday afternoon
| 1t was read first time and sent to the
printer with a rush order to be return
ed at p. m.
| The amount necessary to be raised
for the fifty-frst fiscal year for the sew
eral funds is as follows:
General fund ..............s 81. .OOO 722

Total IS az 4e7

Total for fifty-frst and fifty. fifty s'''-'''''
second years ......-............S So, ,091, ,494
The rate of taxation for the fifty-first
fiscal year is O5S.
For the fifty-second fiscal year the
rate is 0.51. This includes for both
years the university tax of 0.O2.
The general appropriation bill for
this year foots up 100000 less than
that of '97.
| The rate of taxation is greater than
that fixed at the thirty session.
which was O.51 for the forty ninth fis-
cal year and 0.4S $40 for the fiftieth
fiscal year. There are reasons for this
the tax rate would have been consii-
erably less than for the past two years
except for two items:
| The natural increase in the school
fund over that of two years ago is
$475,0
age for State aid of orphans and half
orphans from IA to 16 years, makes a
necessary increase in that appropria-
tion of S15O,OOO
