TAX IN 227 CITIES

Next to General Property
Levy, Census Bureau Says.

Except for revenues derived from
the general property tax, the liquor
traffic was the greatest source Of
revenue in the 227 American cities
OF more than $4,000 population for
the fiscal year Of 1918. according to
a report by the Census Bureau. For
that period il tOtaled S35,576.3S3, al
though it was 81, ,30S, 900 less than the
revenue reported for 1917.
Governmental expenditures in the
cities exceeded revenue except in
washington, New York, St Louis,
Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Portland, and
Denver. In the other cities the eX-
pendituTes exceeded the revenue by
$4S, 6OOy $50, or SI.42 per capita.
The aggregate population Of these
227 cities was estimated at $4,000, -
600, or nearly SO per cent Of the total
population Of the country. Ten cities
