CITY MAY ENJOY LOW ER TAXES THIS YEAR From the way council has been cutting salaries and raising bus iness license, the outlook is good for a reduction in city taxes this fall. One of the first things the new council did was to slash salaries of city employees ten dollars a month, representing a saving of four hundred and eighty dollars a year. There has been an increase in business tax in a number of in stances and the banks and rail roads have been taxed. It is es timated by a member of council that the reduction in salaries and the raising of business license will bring into the treasury over a thousand dollars. W r ith this showing and the in crease 'hat is expected in the taxable property of the city this year members of council hope to be able to make a substantial re duction in the tax rate this fall.
