,for fixing the tax rate, much discus-

'oui that possibly the public might be

tax which will have to be levied in
order to carry the city through the
year.. The special tax will take the
iplace of the regular one. whichwouid
have been laid had not the charter
amendment been accepted.
When the amendment was intro-
iduced into the last legislature, the in-
tent of William F, Tammany, then
corporation counsel. who drew it. up.
was not to have a referendum attach-
ed, but. before passing the referendum
.wds put on. instead of going into ef-
fect immediately upon its passage, as
had been blamed for. the referendum
made it necessary for the voters to
accept it first. This was do‘e at the.
recent election and now is a law. Had
the. referendum clauselbeen left all
the amendment, would have. been a
law upon its passing the legislature
and the Board of Esthnate would have
held its sessions for this year last
