They state the law permits a levy of 20 cents per hundred valuâ€" ation for public benefits, but they omit the fact that this tax is subâ€" ject to scaling under the Juul law, and the city never gets the actual amount levied. The 1925 rate was ‘senled do to 14 cents, resulting in actual es ‘of only $8,05%.26 as above stated. _ Thie d issue is simply refundâ€" ing $35, of an existing indebtedâ€" ness. It is good busines..
