OF $21,05a,556 as the amount it will be
necessary to raise by taxes on real
estate, tangible and intangible per-
sonal property and on public utilities,
banks, etc., to finance this budget.
The bill proposes that the Government
shall contribute approximately two
f1fths as much"
Tax Boost Predicted.
In making the promise of further
appropriations for authorized build
ing projects, Mr.. Funk said that these
would mean an increase over the $3.50
tax rate, as follows:
"A tax rate of $3.50 on real estate
and tangible personal property, it has
been indicated TO the committee,
would suffice to meet the appropria-
tions embraced by this bill. The cur
rent rate is $3.50. Past experience,
however, tells us that ii will be nee
essary to supplement the appropria-
lions proposed in this bill on account
of unforeseen demands, and it is quite
probable that considerable sums may
nave to be provided later in this SEES
sion or at the next session to carry
out authorizations that have been or
may be placed on the statute books
For example, new police court
building has been authorized; also a
new building for the recorder of
deeds, nurses home for the Column
bia Hospital and Lying-in Asylum and
a new farmers market.
To the extent that these and other
matters are appropriated for it will
be necessary to add TO the figure of
$1.50. In this connection it might be
pointed out that it is estimated that
the assessed value of real estate in
1929 will be $1150, 900, 900, contrasted
with 1851 600. 900 for the current fiscal
year. This means that a tax rate of
$l.5O on the new assessment will pro-
duce trifle more revenue than the
$3.50 rate on the 1927 assessment
Estimates Held Higher.
1.-THE estimates which the commit.
tee considered exceed in the aggregate
the sum of the current appropriations
by $1,324,4 AIS, despite the fact that it
was unnecessary to make provision in
the budget for two projects for which
$2,100,000 was appropriated for 1927.
In other words, for regular activities
or functions the estimates carry an
appropriated in 1927, distributed as to
major divisions, using round figures,
as follows:
Increases: Salaries, S293 900; street
and road Improvement and repair,
1859 900; sewers, $154 ,000 collection
and disposal of refuse, SCI, 900; schools.
VI ,439,0 900; public buildings and public
parks, $4,000; water department,
1897 900, making total increases of
$3,716,000; While the decreases are:
Fire Department, $4,000, and Public
Welfare, $291,0 900, thus making a net
Increase of approximately $3,315 900.
In the great majority of instances
the committee is proposing the budget
hgures. Some increases have ap-
peared to be necessary and in some
cases the committee has considered
the budget figures as inadequate and
is proposing larger sums The net
result of its action. as previously
stated, is reduction of $I09,623 in
the sum of the budget proposals.
Summarized, the money changes
are as follows:
