TAXATION. The city OF Richmond oc-
cupics the same position as did the
street railway company UP TO the time
IL was granted the recent increase in
rates. The street railway company
had rigid fare. and the city has been
having u rigid tax rate. Neither could
grow and develop under the abnormal
times such as we have had following
the war. This WAS especially true of
tho city under tho present tax rate.
