Revenues.
The aggregate revenues Of all the
cities during the year were $940, 1885,
311; the aggregate expenditures for
current governmental costs, includ-
ing interest, S750,555,565; and the
aggregate outlays, 1929, 5S5,561.
OF the total revenues, $641,972,943
or more than two-thirds, represented
receipts from the various kinds Of
taxes. The bulk of this amount,
$570,830,861, was derived from the
general property tax, made up Of
taxes on real estate and personal
property. or the remainder, the
largest item, SAG, 6O6,956, was con-
tributed by taxes on the liquor traf-
fc; $12,741,765 was raised from 9th
er business taxes; $12,59S,62S was
derived from special property taxes
other than on business; and S1,792,-
1858, from poll taxes.
Next to taxes, the largest source OF
revenue was found in the earnings
of public-service enterprises, which
amounted to $96,558,379. This sum
was somewhat more than double the
amount of payments for expenses OF
public-service enterprises, which
were S43,822,511, thus leaving net
revenue from this source amounting
