Bellaire citizens are making quite a
kick about their taxes being raised, and
no doubt they are Directing rightly to
this high taxation, which looks as if
it was totally unnecessary, and now
the people would like to know what
this increase of money is to be used
for. In 1890 the tax rate was $2.46, in
1900 it is $3.50. To show the difference
as to the amount of the increase, a
man with an ordinary home counted
up his increase, which amounted to
$40. This shows how it will effect the
property owners of this city. 1t is no
wonder that the taxpayers of this
county are making a kick. They we'll
deserve to, as it is simply an outrage,
and in the near future the people will
come to their sense and raise up in
their might and change the govern
! ment of this county, which has caused
such a large expenditure Of money
that the people have to be tax-ridden.
Let the kick go on until it sounds in
the ears of those who make such high
taxes.
