A CITY SURVEY
The Advertiser does not know ex
actly what was behind the opposition
to the hond issues in the clection yes
torday, resulting in the defeat of the
bonds for wateinworks inirovement.
ve risk the opinion, however, that If
the citizens were in full possession of
lhe financial affairs of the city and
were shown that the present high tax
rate is justifIed, the opposition to
'the bonds would not have -been so pro
iounced.
The tax rate of the city at 25 mills
is rather high. Whether or not even
this rate is hig'h enough to make ends
meet none of us know. What delart
ments of -the city government are be
ing run at a loss and what at a profit
is a (Iuestion which every citizen has
-a right to know. If he fails to sup
port 'the government when lie does
not knolw these things, he cannot be
criticized.
We believe that a thorough survey
of city affairs is in order. There is
no doubt but that the city's affairs are
being honestly administered. but it is
generally believed that our floating
indebtedness is growing larger and no
iprovision being made for bonds al
ready Issued. These matters should
-b'e a(ljuste( and such remedies applied
as will make the taxpayers reasonably
satisfied.
