CITY TAX RATE
To Be ABOUT 81
City Fathers Trying to
Keep Levy Down, But AL
Costs Are Higher.

Despite the earnest and painstak-
ing efforts Of mayor Charles Davis and
the city council to keep down the tax
rate for the year. the outlook is that
the rate will be s1.s5 TO 50, the latter
figure being the maximum allowed
by law. it was indicated by alderman
J. P. O'Connor, chairman OF the alder
manic finance committee. today.
Such a rate would mean an advance
Of seven to Il cents over the current
levy. sLSS
School levy Higher.
The school board. which fixes its
part Of the levy itself, irrespective Of
action by the council. has indicated.
through Walter S. Clayton, OF the
finance committee. that it would need
IS cent levy, an increase Of six cents
over last year. The council can do
nothing but levy what the school
trustees ask for. it was said.
As TO the city's general fund levy.
Mr.. O'Connor said it would have to
be about S1.05. while bond redemptions
and sinking funds would require ~
cents. This, added to the school board
levy Of 46 cents, would make 50, the
maximum. However, the school levy
may be less than 46 cents If the as
sessment total is as much as $751;
OO0, 900.

Assessor W. P. 3. McSain has not
yet completed the rolls, but il is ex-
pected they will show something near
SCI 100000. He will have the total
about December 1. or earlier, when the
council will meet and fix the tax
rate Collections will begin the first
