Some Reasons Why
Our Taxes Are Higher


When the form of government
of the city was changed to a com
mission form, it was the expectation
of those citizens who were respon.
sible for the change, that it would
result in a better system of admin
stration.
The following figures are given
from memory and may be incorrect
in some minor particulars. Under
the old city form, we had
6 Aldermen at$15. Copper

l Treasurer ........ 200. 90
| Assessor ......... lOO.UO
Total. 81 ,20O.O0
In addition to the above the
commissioners drew over $40. 90
each for acting as q board of
equalization of the assessment.
believe it cost this city more for
this particular item, than it cost
the city Of Aberdeen, where the
total assessment is about II million
dollars, while the valuation Of the
city Of MObridge is about. II
million.
In addition to the above the
board Of commissioners appointed
4 collector to collect ali funds that
were to be paid to the city direct.
In the past this money has been
collected by the city treasurer, and
was considered part of his duty,
and what he was drawing the salary
for.
1t would be interesting to know
what this particular service has cost
the taxpayers up to the present. AS
an illustration of how it works, we
will take the water meters. Every
house where a water meter was in.
stalled had to pay $500. Fifty
cents of this went to the collector.
| wonder if any Of the business
men who are on the board, would
think of conducting their own bus
mess on this system. | wonder if
Mr.. Cummings, who ] believe is
the finance committee, when be
sold a Stetson hat for five dollars
would tell his customer to 60 up
to Mr.. Brockelt or some other COL
lector, to pay the money, so that
the collector could get his commits.
sion.
The city has a lead pipe cinch on
the collection of all these items,
and | personally think that it is a
waste of the public money to put
this expense on the taxpayers. If
the treasurer is not willing TO do
the business of the Office as it has
been done in the past, it would be
to the city's financial interest for
him to resign.
