TAX ON APARTMENTS

Paris, April 2.-Fhe tax commission
of the municipal council of Paris has
proposed the levying of a municipal
war tax running from one and quar-
ter per cent. to three and a half per
cent. of rentals. A man paying rent
of the equivalent of 5000 year would
pay the equivalent of $3.50 tax A
thousand dollar a year apartment of
which there are great many in Paris,
would pay $40.
This proposition is put forward in
order to tighten the increases that
must be made in taxes that the city
ievies on provisions in order to make
up the deficit in the city finances.

have overruled the remonstrances and
confirmed the special assessments for
District Sewer No. 35 amounting to
$3.50. $50. and property owners in the
territory affected will be presented
with their tax bills.
Attorney E. Miles Norton appeared
for the Mandel estate on the ground
that the property was not benefited

covers about 5000 parcels of separate
