that the Donovan administration had
to commence in June oz.‘ this year to
boll-'0“ money to meet expenses, the
appropriations having been exhausted
b3 it in e1ght months.
.‘dr. Curtis showed in his report that
the Guy would l2a3e to borrow at least
$156,000.00 to pay billsbut intima-
tions 'ere made by the-Mayor that
the Board of Estimate and Taxation
would be called to make appropria-
tlons and lay special taxes to m‘eet this
amount.
Mr. Curtis's report in full, follows:—
To the Mayor and Council
Gentlemen:
Four years ago.3xl1en the late ad-
ministration assumed office, they
found what is a. usual condition in
municipal affairs. i. e.. a shortage of
actual cash due chiefly to non-pay—
represented by notes payable less cash
on hand: and amounted. I understand,
to some $66,000.00.
age a deficit and induced the Board
la)“ a special tax to
cover it.
ricit because the apparent shortage of
cash was offset by another asset viz:
unpaid back taxes which might have
been converted into cash. The obvi—
(ms and logical thing to do would
have been to enforce payment of these
taxeswvhermn-on the so called dollil
would have disuppcnred. Instead of
which there was laid what was really
1'. tax upon a tax. thus placing an add-
ed burden on all the taxpayers be-
:runsnz 0-1 the delinquency of the few.
A considerable “hullnbaloo” was
mad.» by the late administration over
this :511.(":1llt'd deficit. It might then be
vx'pu'tml that hating'lnid 51-1011 special
tax and ('ivum'rl the slate. they on re-

In the budget undor‘whlch “‘12 are"

receipts from back taxes as follows:

tax collector himself advises us that
he entertains no hope whatever of
collecting more than one half of U1 at

mcnts ale coucuucd. May I say right
hexe that inflate cl estimates of revenue
is a. 1213 orite, though moss grown dc-
3lce for keeping down the tax rate.
As a matter of fact, no estimate of
collection of back taxes should be in-
cluded because any such income will
surely be offset‘ by non-payment of
current taxes. Revenue from' taxes
has no place in the estimate of out’
side revenue and I don't know of a.
text writer who would admit it as'
proper Such revenue Was consider-
ed when the (as. was laid and it can-
not properly be considered again. Itl
is actuall3 counting the same thing;
