The effects Of the stat n enacted
two years ago, which p> its a city
levy of but five mills per dollar on per-
sonal money and credits instead of a
tax OF almost forty mills per dollar on
one quarter Of the total of moneys and
credits, was shown in a table of re-
ceipts from taxes in Cedar Rapids dur
ing the calendar years Of 1912 and 1918. |
According to James Hughes. commits
sioner of finance and accounts, the 1912 |
levy, receipts for which are shown in
the calendar year of 1913, fell short by
$4,000 or more because of the change !
in the moneys and credits tax system. |
AS it is, the actual tax receipts for 1913
exceeded those Of the previous year by
$3,s2OGs, although the table shows
decrease of s5l5.22 The decrease is APP
parent because OF the fact that all OF
last years receipts have not yet
reached the hands Of the city treasurer
