TAXES N0T: RAISED

Changing the charter as proposed will not
of itself increase taxes, neither will the COM
missoners of their own volition have the right to
do so, for this reason: ..
Under the charter, if amended, the rate for
general purposes can in event exceed $1.25
per $4,000 valuation. This limit has already
been reached; the commissioners may themselves
reduce this rate, but cannot increase it. The re-
naming $1.00 (the same as now can be used
only for special purposes, meaning interest and
sinking fund on the bonded debt. The bonded
debt cannot be increased except by vote of the
property tax paying voters first had. Therefore,
unless tax payers vote to increase the bonded
debt the tax rate for special purposes cannot
be increased.
In other words it is up to the tax payers
themselves to say whether taxes made high
er or not. If the charter is amended, the effect
will only be to allow tax paying voters to issue
sufficient bonds for public improvements. AS it
now is, they have not the power to do so.

City Attorney.
