ABOUT The TAX LEVY.
Mayor Green Says 1t Could Safely Be
Made Six Mills.

To the Editor of the State Journal
The tax levy suggested has been
given to the public in order that their
wishes might be ascertained, or rather
that public sentiment might become
sufficiently crystalllzed to enable the
council to respond to 1t more intel
ngently. The mayor and the chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee have expressed in that suggestion
what, in their opinion, should be done.
The council will adopt that which, in
their opinion, public sentiment de-
mands.
In order that public sentiment may
grow from an intelligent understand
Ing of conditions 1 submit the follow
Ing: The levy could be made as low
as six mills without disastrous effect,
to go below that would be dangerous.
The levy suggested will produce an in
creased tax of approximately one hum
dred thousand dollars, as follows:
In the general Improvement and
general revenue funds. 1000
Interest on city bonds. 1866
Sinking fund to meet bonds
when due ............. 400
To meet paving bonds ........ $1,000
Water Departmental permit
reduction Of rates. $4,000
$1o1, o66
eral revenue funds are the funds from
which the current expenses of the city
government all are paid. An increase
Is suggested because of apparent in
creased demands. namely: IRE sta
ton east Of the Santa Fe railway. to
increase the capacity of the asphalt
repairing plant and increased cost of
maintenance in each. and new bridge
on Lincoln street. The amount of in
terest payable next year on city bonds
oiCnl Ia-
year for that purpose.
There was no levy made last year
Cor sinking fund. We have a bond is
sue of $4,000 due in the year 1910 We
also have ave deficit of between $4,000
and $4,000 in the sewer bond fund
The city's portion of paving bonds
falling due next year Is $4,000 more
than the levy of last year and must be
met.
The $4,000 for the water department
Is to enable that department to reduce
rates on water consumption % per cent
or 30 per cent.
These rates can be modified so as to
reduce the levy to .006 If thought best.
For instance, by eliminating the
thought of building a fire station in
the eastern portion of the city and of
increasing the capacity of the asphalt
plant etc, a reduction could be made
In the general fund levy. BY deferring
the reduction of water rates one year
another reduction could be made. The
sinking fund levy could be modified so
as to make a reduction of $40 of a
mill by refunding instead of paying the
city bond issue in 1870 and by using
funds raised to meet obligations the
following year in payment OF obliga-
tions falling due the latter part of
next year. reduction may be made
in the levy for payment of interest and
principal of paving bonds
AS before mentioned, the proposed
law 10 OnlV suggestion ms nv Nv
Horn and myself. Friendly criticism
and suggestions for modification are in
vited. However. 1t should be under
stood that the obligations provided for
in the suggested levy can only be de-
ferred. they must be met some time in
the future. Respectfully,
WILLIAM GREEN.
