The tax rate in 1924 was 43 mills, which brought in a revenue of $377,957.35, exclusive of spe- cial frontage assessments. The tax rate for 1929, as struck by the city council last night is 42 mills, which is expected to provide the $653,804 necessary to carry on the city dur- ing the year and which is an in- crease of 73 per cent in the ex- pendituers, This was made possi- ble by the increase of assessment Yet this' from $9,237,620 in 1924 to $16, 385,665 in 1928, Since there has been no artificial increase in the assessment figures, the levy of 42 mills indicates that, despite the gorwth in expenditures required for the various municipal services, taxation has not been increased be- yond the natural growth of the city's ass ssable values. School Expenses Other comparisons in expendi- tures show that taxation for s hool purposes in 1924 was $191,491, while in 1929 it is $315,224, uc- cording to the budget presented last night. The amount required to me.t bond payments in 1924 in- cluding the property owners share of local improvements, which are, of course repaid to the municipal ity and do not affect the tax rate, was $243,626, In 1929 the amount In spite of the tremendous growth of the city, the debenture debt only in-reased from $3,091,235, where it stood at the end of 1924, to $3,- 483,186, To this latter amount, there should, however ,be added the debentures for about $700,00v which will be issued soon for the work done in 1928, Even taking these into consideration, however, the increase of population from 16,- 659 in 1924 to 24.289, according to the 1928 assessment figures, m-ans that the debenture d:cbt will be only $170 per capita after these de- bentures are sold, as compared with $185.60 per capita at the end of 1924. The Assessment Analyzing the assessment fig- ures, it is seen that land assess- ment taxable for all purposes has increased from $2,632,105 to $3,- 372,710 in five years; building as- sessment has increased from $5,- 362.480 to $9,422,965; business assessment from $719,915 to $1,- 774,876; and income assessment from $623,020 to $815,015.

Per set 200 Yds. Curtain Scrim chell, who argued the proposition for the Government, contended that such aliens were not visitors for "business or pleasure" who might for that rea- son be exempt from the quota provi- sion of the Immigration Act, Preston M. Albro, representing the two Canadians, said that the treaty executed by John Jay in 1794, was still in force between Great Britain and the United States, insofar as it permitted Canadian citizens to enter the United States. He declared that the treaty was not inconsistent with the Immigraion Act. The Jay treaty was abrogated by the war of 1812, Mitchell contended. He stressed as a broader question, however, the fact that Federal courts along the seaboard were allowing aliens to enter the country when they declared they were visiting on "busi- ness" on the authority of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals decision that the two were properly admitted. Once admitted on such grounds, the Attorney-General said, it would be a difficult, if not impossible, task to round up all such aliens and deport them after a reasonable time for transaction of their business had ex- : A All Classes of Insurance Written 25 Only New Crepe de Chine Scarfs In white and ecru.
