The council la authorised to levy a tax not exceeding one half of a mill on each dollar valuation of oroperty In the payment or redemption of the bonded Indebtedness of ths city. This power has never been exercised and in conse- ouence bonds are now authorised to be issued and sold by the city to pay for the replacement of one public utility which has become .worn out, for the building of which in the first place the bonds are ' still outstanding, with no provision ever having been made for their redemption. . - . A continuation of this policy will hart the credit of the city and If pursued will seriously affect the sale of bonds for any purpose whatever, - ' Special Brldf Tand, ':; Under the city charter 'as amended ?rovlslon was made for a special brldre und and the tax levy was limited to 2 mills. For tho year 1908 a levy of one half of 1 mill was requested and under the estimates submitted for 1908, no greater levy man tnis wiu do re quired for the coming year. - The charter further provide for all otner purpose a tax not to exceed 7 mills oo each dollar valuation, and on making the levy the council should ap portion not iO exceed a certain speci fied number of mills for specified cre ated funds. - . . , - ntiu ugktinr. The l.vr for this purpose is limited by the charter to 1H mills. If the method employed at this time to -secure such service Is to be pursued It will re quire a levy of about six tenths of a mill assessment upon the valuation of the property as It Is -returned by the ss sessor at this time to provide for the same. - - If yourMionorable body does not take some action designed to relieve the city from the onerous -condition sought to be Imposed upon it by the terms of fered by the single bidder for the serv ice, an estimate calling for a larger sum must be substituted for the one here with submitted. : - ... If it should be your desire to entirely free the city from its present helpless condition in respect to its public light ing, a levy of one and a half mill, the limit which is permitted bv the charter, would realize ; about $300,000.

The charter provides for a levy not to exceed three fourths of a mill for the maintenance, preservation and re pair of the streets.
