WILL MODIFY
DOLLAR LIMIT
Supervisor to Submit Char
ter Amendment Specifying
a Rate for Improvements
BIG REVENUE THE CAUSE
Increasing Assessment Roll
Produces Sufficient Funds
for All City Expenditures

Many and varied have been the
Of defects in the city's charter. but the
one which Supervisor Braunhart will
shortly submit to the Board of Super
visors will no doubt meet with the
approval of the taxpayers. Braun
hart's amendment is designed to modi-
fly the dollar limit of taxation, as pro-
vided in article 8, chapter l, section
II of the charter, relating to the max
ing of the tax levy on the last Monday
in June, so that ninety cents of the
levy will be applied to the payment of
all demands for the current expendi-
lures of the city government and the
remaining ten cents will be specifically
designated for the carrying out of pub
lie improvements.
The fact that the assessment
roll for this year will aggre
gate a sum greater than $515,-
100000 has impelled Braunhart to
submit his amendment. In all likeli-
hood the roll will be increased next
year to an amount in excess of that re-
turned this year and this makes it
apparent that the city will have
abundant funds to pay all expenses
and also to make large Improvements
with dollar tax. Of course the seven
cents allowed outside of the dollar limit
for the maintenance of parks as fixed
by the charter will continue in opera
tion.
The tax Of ten cents for improve
ments would next year produce sum
in excess Of $500, 900. This would be in
- ,fs,
that could be inaugurated by the Su-
pervisors under it's tax rate Of ninety
| cents. The rate adopted for the next
fiscal year was 81 II on every 500 Of
assessed valuation, of which Z cents
is for parks, 1884 cents for redemption
of bonds and interest thereon and 92 46
cents for running expenses. Out of
this last rate the board found it pos
sible to set aside the sum of $450000 for
big public improvements, such as the
widening of Fourth street, the paving
of H street, the opening of Fulton
street, the partial construction of
salt water system and other projects.
Add to this the sum of 100000 de-
signed to be raised by a specific tax of
ten cents within the dollar limit and
there is total of nearly $1,000,000 for
improvements alone.
With such a sum it would be pos
sible, If the assessment roll warrants
it, to levy the tax for bonds inside of
the dollar limit instead of outside as
is done at present under the charter.
Braunhart's amendment will provide
for this alternative course when the
funds are adequate for the purpose.
The amendment will in all likelihood
be submitted to the people at the end
of the year so that it may be ratified
by the next Legislature and become
operative during the fiscal year 1906
