TAXES AND IMPROVEMENTS
UNDER THE NEW CHARTER

Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL
Sir-l turn aside from my discus
sions of the charter momentarily to
ask the Rev. George Henry Dole a
question. He has denounced thr pro-
vision in the grant of home rule pow
ers IN the proposed charter which
gives Council the power to levy as
sessments upon contiguous property
Tor local Improvements. Then, in his
latest letter. he denounces the grant
of power for the borrowing of money
by the city on bonds as unnecessary,
wasteful and unbusinesslike. He says
In his letter:
Under proper charter we can stop
this perpetual cry for more money for
municipal purposes, stop Issuing new
bonds, cut down our taxes. and give
the city improvement the like OF
which they have never seem" Fur
ther on he says: "The business way
to raise money for improvements is
to levy the tax and get the money at
once"
Mr.. Dole has requested that the
public carefully read his letters. l
trust that the public is following his
admonition, and is doing a little
thinking at the same time. Then l
may ask this reading public whether
or not his criticisms above referred
to are not utterly illogical an" I'M
practicable Firstly, he will prohibit
all power on the part of the city 10
make assessments for improvements
or to borrow money. Secondly, he
will pay for all local improvements by
Ievying sufficient tax at once to pay
Tor the same.
Our city tax is now S1.5O on the
500. Under his system. if we wanted
to spend S25O,000 for new streets next
year, We would raise the tax rate %
cents and make it $500, or if we had
built our water filtration system un-
der that plan. at cost, let us say OF
$500, 900, we would have raised the tax
rate S1.00 for that year, or made IL
$3.50 on the hundred. How long
would Mir. Dole's administration nave
remained in power under such chaonc
financing?
But in the other sentence quoted he
is going to prohibit these powers. ana
run the city economically by cutting
down the taxes and still have i'm
provements. "the like of which they
(the people) have never seem
would like to ask him how he is goine
to do it?
