 At q city meeting held Wednesday night at the town building some forty voters. several of the women, voted an eight and one-half mill tax for the cur rent year on the city grand list. mo- ten for g. nine mill tax, one-haf of one mill of which was to be put into the sinking fund to- pay off the indebtedness If the city was voted down. Mayor Charles A. Gate spresided. Corporation counsel William A. King presented a motion that the voters levy nine mill tax. He stated that an eight and one half mill tax would raise s126,000, or ss0G0 over the amount called for in the budget. This tax rate, however. wSuld allow nothing for the sinking fund and 1 a nine mill tax allowing 1-2 mill for the sinking fund would raise $7246. The ri1e mill tax would raise S1G3 900. Eu- ! gene Randall arose and stated that he was in hearty sympathy with the lower ing of the tax rate and favored a tax l rs ste of 1-2 rnilW. With people work ing only two or three days a week the tax rate should not be raised and it had bee ndenonstrated that the 1-2 mill tax would pay the city expenses. Three years ago. he said one mill was added to tho tax to be DIR into the sinking fund and later 1t was said that nothing had been done with setting aside the money raised A 25 mill tax would go by the same way. The city budget was now al-
 most as large as that cf the town and
 the town had many expenses the city did not. John Began also favored the r. mill tax. When put to vote the amend ment for the nine mill tax was lost and 1 Corporation Counsel King recommended that the ono-half mill for the sinking
 fund be excluded from the l-2 mill tax
 The voters then passed the motion favor
 ing the 12 mill tax and the meeting
 adjourned at SIS o'clock.
