COMM lSSiONER OF FINANCE
BRADLEY PRESENTS RESOLU-
MAINS SAME, BUT PROPERTY
VALUES JUMP.

The new administration last night
got its first tax levy ordinance since
taking over the affairs of the munici-
pality, and with the neatness and pre-
CisiOn of old masters at finance, whiz-
zed the levy into a law and sent it
over to the county clerk duly certi-
fed. The ordinance provides raising
Of $190l172 by general taxation un-
der the requirements of law passed
by the last legislature which increas-
one-third to onchalf.
The law enacted by the legislature
was aimed to rcplenish depleted eX-
chequcrs of cities which heretofore
have been accustomed to saloon rev
ouuc but are now cut of from dram
shop Jack, by governmental restric-
tions. The raise in valuations from
a third to a half in Ottawa affords an
opportunity to the administration to
raise about 100000 more than could
have been harvested had the old law
not been altered to afford some re-
lief. Before wartime prohibition be
gan making inroads on the liquor traf-
hC by cutting down the number of sa-
looms, OttaWa's annual license used
to be about $4,000 annually from for
ty-eight booze mills The number OF
dram shops during the past year drop
ped TO thirty-siX, leaving about SIS 900
coming into the city treasury until
the present arid period came into full
being and licenses accordingly sur
rendered by their owners.
Turned Over TO County Clerk.
The ordinance which was presented
his colleagues by Commissioner viii
liam Bradley and was unanimously
adopted The resolution requires that
City Clerk Curtis file certified copy
with the county clerk on or before the
third Tuesday in September so that
worthy can spread the damages" on
IN" Ottawa tax books The ordinance,
compiled under the direction of Com f.
missioner Bradley and City Attorney
Glenn Weese is a carefully drawn in. .
strumeut and showed great prepara-
tion before making its appearance for I
endorsement by the council.
Includes City Budget.
Included in the ordinance was |
copy of the annual budget, adopted
in July, fixing the amounts to be dis. |
bursed by the various departments
and calling for the grand total of .
$l36,659.l2, only $79,0l772 will be
raised by general taxation, the re-
to he derived from other
sources Of revenue open to the city
Golfers
or the amounts total, the city will
have to take off $21l72i Is for bonded
and interest on bonds;
$1,000 for hospital and $4,000 for H.
brarN purposes.
The levy, while increasing the tax
on city property Will not raise the
rate over the amount established by
the old council. The sums to be met
by the taxpayer. can be estimated
by adding about one-siXth of the city
tax Of 1918 onto the amount paid the
collector
The ordinance became effective
from ana after its passage.
