Show As will be seen in another column col-umn the city fathers have seen fit to reduce the city taxes half a mill for th;s year. This means an assessment of 3 mills for tiie contingent con-tingent fund and 2 mills tor road purposes while last year it was 2 t-2 mills contingent and 3 mills road. While the whole tax is lower low-er the amount of cash tax is higi.-1 er and the road tax less. Tuev will have "ood uses for the ex::t ! cash but we hope the ro.td improvements im-provements svill not cease. Tne work done on our streets during recent years is the best work that could be dpne for our city. We now have some splendjd streets and the good work shoulu continue until all the streets have been put in lirst class condition. The city has a good road machine and this work could easilv be done and would be appreciated by the citizens. |
