PUBLIC HEARING ON
INCREASE IN TAXES
All Citizens Invited 10 Express Their
Views on Pending
Ordinance.
COMMITTEE MEETS TONIGHT
Fear Expressed That Increase in
Real Estate Taxes Will Mean
Higher Rcnts-Muny Want City
TO Live Within Its Income.

Citizens will be given a hearing to-
night by the Council Committee on
J. FINANCE on the proposed increase in
the tax rate of Richmond. The meet
ing. which was called at the sugges-
ton OF the Committee on Ordinances,
VIII be held in the Council chamber
and will begin promptly at O'Clock.
livery citizen DESTROYS OF making any
statement to the committee will be
heard. and every phase of the increased
tax matter thoroughly discussed
The public hearing for citizens is the
elimination of considerable discussion
among members OF the Council over the
proposed increase in taxes. No intima :
ton that the tax rate would be adj
vanced was given by the Finance Com
mittee until it reported the 1915 budget.
which was based on the higher rate
When the resolution providing for the
increase was considered by the Ordi-
nance Committee that body recommend
&C public hearing. and the Common
Council acted upon this recommended
ton.
The proposed ordinance. as recon-
mended by the Finance Committee,
makes general increase Of 10 per cent
on all subjects Of taxation The real
estate and tangible personal property
rate would be increased from SlG5 Der
500 to sl.s2, while the price of gas
would be advanced to 90 cents per 1000
cubic feet. An additional 10 per cent
would be levied on licenses and taxes
Of all descriptions. permits and water
rents
WANT CITY TO LEARN
TO LIVE WITHIN INCOME
Opposition TO the Increased tax rate
IS general at this time, with members
OF the Council desiring additional in
formation before voting upon the meas
ure. 1t certain quarters il is believed
that the expenses of the city might be
reduced and the city made TO live with
in its present income. since citizens arc
already burdcncd with war taxes.
Pending the public hearing. and 1t is
probable several meetings will be held,
the 1918 budget is delayed and is be-
ing held by the Finance Committee.
Salaries OF city employees will be paid
under the provisions of a special rcso-
luton, but no funds for various depart
mcnt needs arc available for the new
year. and all general work held in
allegiance.
There is great opposition to any in
crease in the tax rate on real estate
on the ground that rents in Richmond
arc already high and have prevented
hundreds OF people from locating In
this city. Any increase in the realty
rate, it is asserted. would result in "A
corresponding increase in rents. In
certain quarters it is believed that the
Gas Works and several other depart
ments should be made to pay their
operating costs. which would material
~ reduce the funds necessary from
other sources to meet the Increased
demands on the city.
