900 and the amount Of tax collected
has been 81 100000 at q 3 per cent
rate, the valuation will be increased
to $100,0000O0 and the rate may still
be 3 per cent, and the amount Of tax
collected will then reach to $4,000, 900.
The officials viii have that amount to
spend, and they always spend all they
can get.
Debt, Debt, Debt.
The officials will have power to run
the public more deeply into debt
A wisely-made state law DEGREES
that the debt limit OF a city shall
never exceed per cent of the tax
valuation except by vote OF the peo-
pie, when it may go TO per cent.
When the tax valuation is 100000 900
bonds may be issued by city officials
only to the amount Of 81 900, but
II the valuation jumps to 800, 900,
as permitted Under this bill, the bond
issues may be increased to 100000
giving city officials power to issue
S1,600,000 more bonds without vote
Of the people.
And there are other bills which will
permit a city council to go even be
yond the 4 per cent debt limit. They
we're introduced by Senator Howe, a
Johnson Democrat Of Cleveland, and
they provide that certain classes Of
bonds, such as paving bonds, play
ground bonds. grade-crossing bonds
and several others shall be exempt
from the per cent debt rule. In
other words. city administration
may exclude these bonds from its cal
culation, and then may issue other
bonds to the amount of per cent of
the tax valuation. Waterworks bonds
are now exempt from the debt limit
This quadrennial appralsement bill
would affect every city, village, ham
let and farm in the whole state. II
the taxing officials could guarantee
that they would decrease the tax rate
OF levy pro rata with the increase in
valuation fixed under the measure
one serious objection so It would be
removed.
