It provides for a tax or one per cent, per annum-upon the income Of home insurance companies, and two per rant, upon foreign companies, with a tax of twenty-five cents on both for the transfer of a policy. ; Mr. -Omerly opposed the bill on the ground that the tax would not come from the pockets of the insurers, but from the in sured. ’ Mr. Freeman favored the bill'as a matter of legislation that - was based upon wisdom. Pending the discussion of the subject, the Chamber adjourned. COMMON' BRANCH. Mr. Palmer presented the following com munication from Wm, Neal: Respected Councils: I have received the official notice of my election to the office of Director of the Northwestern Railroad Company, lam not an office-seeker; but whenever my fellow citizens or their consti tuted authorities have called me, I have willingly devoted a portion of my time to public affairs. But lam confident it will be out of my power to be of any service to the city by accepting the office you have now conferred. I find that the North western Rail road Company, after exhausting the $7OO - paid by the city, and all the available means which the ingenuity and the disinge nuousness of its managers could devise, be came hopelessly bankrupt, and closed alife or doubtful virtue in about six years. How this premature dissolution was so inge niously effected by its dearest friends, the act which incorporated the company will dearly show, and how the city was disfran chised of all its interests in the Railroad Company. I therefore think that Councils will see that there is no longer necessity for electing a director of this road, i , Wm. Neal. Mr. Stanton presented the following, moving that for the present it be tabled; The undersigned committee, appointed by a meeting or thefiremen of Philadelphia, desirmg to co-operate with your'honorable bodies in any measure designed for the good government of the Fire Department respectfully offer to attend before any com mittee appointed by your bodies, and join in consultation for that purpose. They are satisfied mat they can give information which Will rescind the measures now be fore you for adoption, and form an ordi nance that will be more likely to effect the objects proposed by the bill now under con sideration by Councils. J. Gordon Showaker, W. Seables Mann, Jacob F. Stahl, Charles K. Miskey, William D. Kendrick, mu „ Committee. u?ii6 motion of Mr. St&nton was sgrssd to The Fire bill now came up under the mo uon_of which the Chamber adjourned on Wednesday of last week, to refer the bill to the Committee on Fire and Trusts. Mr. Harper said that the bill had been considered by a committee of Councils. It waß their special work. It was well inves tigated and matured. Why should it go to another committee? Mr. Fox said that it was only intended to water the bill to the Committee on Fire and Trusts to smother the ordinance. The fire men openly proclaimed this. If they can send the? bill to that committeo th© measure will be locked up. The bill should not go there. If it does, and the measure is lost, a paid fire department must follow. The pre sent system will not work, and must be changed. The reason why he did not now advocate a paid fire department is because of the expense. In a lew years the paid system will come naturally. If the present bfil.be not approved, the paid system wiU be introduced at once. Mr. Evans spoke against the referenoe. The inference is but an attempt to smother it finally. .Councils have considered the matter ahd are ready to vote without any further action by the Fire Committee. Why should Councils be respectful to the firemen? they insult Counoils. < , Mr. Nichols said that as Chairman of the Committee on Trusts and Fire Department, he would promise,if the matter was referred, that be would introduce a report from that committee in a week, presenting either the old bUI or an amended one. Mr. Harper said that this was sitting the hands of the committee, and now the bill should not be referred to a committee hos tile to the measure they are instructed to cansider. Mr. Evans moved to amend by referring it again to the committee that first re ported it. " . ®? r ‘ Harper objected. That committee had considered it. He didn’t want to hear the firemen. He knew what they wanted to say. They have expressed that in their convention. . _ . r ■ Hancock said that that committee had ,“? ne but a Portion of its duty, and complete it. The firemen should be s J bolr record of honesty and peril readiness to spring to the ropes to save their fellow-citizens’ property, all deserve that they; should be consulted ahd advised with in reference to this change, The motion of Mr. E vans was lost, AIIod, Allision, Bardsley.

Thatiu the old city,is generally assessed about 60 per cent, of its real value. That in the rural wards is not assessed over lO per cent., and the tax of 4 per cent, on the returned value of $160,- 000,000 is hot as much< as would be. pro duced by 2 per cent, on $360,000,000, which is nearer the real value of the city prop erty. By the correction of the Board of Revision, this great evirwill doubtless be remedied before the expiration of the pre sent-year.'- '■ r • Thecommittee closed - by reporting the following ordinance: , . Section 1, That the City Commissioners are hereby authorized and required forth with to levy upon the taxable property re turned by the assessors'as the assessment of 1866 (except such as is rural), the tax of v 4 pn the assessed value thereof, and upon every taxable inhabitant of'the city 25 cents. , 2. Said tax be laid for 1867; as one city ana county tax;'and iS hereby voted fbr the following objects for 1867; Items— First —For p00r,17 cents. Second —For public' schools, 58 cents. Third— For lighting city, 28 cents. Fourth —Payment of interest on - funded debt and' for sinking fund, $1 54. i FV/VA—Highways, 20 bents; - Sixth— Water, I •21 cents. - Seventh— Police, 37 cents. 'Eighth —City property, 6 cents. Ninth—Eho. 7 cents. , Te?itA—Prison b, 7 cents. Eleventh— City Commissioners; 11 cents, Twelfth — Street cleaning, 7 cents. Thirteenth—Re maining expenses, 27 cents. The report was sighed by Alexander J. Harper/Sanrael G. King, Henry Harrison, j A. H. Franciscos, Alex M. Fox, Samuel W. Cattell, AlexanderHodgdorh! I A minority report presented by Mr. Mar co* purported that the tax rate of $4 per hundred for 1866, was, by the Comptroller’s I estimates, expected to raise $6,500,000; The I same estimates placed the ' ex- I penditnres at ■ $7,000,000. This in- I eluded the deficiency of the previous year. | This wholeamount should have been paid I because the city bad funded within one year I before $2,600,000 of her obligations to naake ail things square. The deficiencies were all | the result or one year, and should have been I isssooooo 016 taxlevy for 1866. The amount j Bering 1866 extra appropriations of $3OO,- I 000 nave been made to the department* By I fof the Comptroller for the year it I will be eeen that the extra appropriations I foot_ up $1,500,000, including $95,000 to the I ice-boat; and 1748,822 40 to the Water Depar- | ment. In addition to these sums of $500,000 I and $300,000 not provided for in 1866 and | added during the year, the Stato recovered I a judgment against the city for $600,000 for I back taxes. . : ' . I - 178.000 00 - ; 10.791 00 The majority of the Finance Committee recommend that this .$1,500, 000 be funded Tins the undersigned oppose. It is the duty Councils to prepares tax sufficient to 9»rry on the government. By funding $2- 500,000, two years ago,-the city was made even, and a rate of $4 40 instead of Ji should have been proposed ior 1866. . . The'duty of imposing a tax rate sufficient to meet the expenses, of the city has always been evaded by Connells. In 1865 they 'lm posed a proper tax to meet the departments’ estimates. The experience of many years has been that the necessity to have a sum suffi cient to carry on any particular department is not rendered inexorable by reducing the estimates, and the extra appropriations of 'msye&r shows the accuracy of this rule. .The act of consolidation requires that the city ehaU not only provide for the payment of the interest of its debt, but shall be pre pared for any loan needed by a contempora neous appropriation for the payment of the interest, and to sink the principal within the years. This law is very plain, and if it be admitted, then we onght to carry on the government of the year by the taxes of the same year, without borrowing. This law imposes the additional duty or paying the interest upon the public debt and the sinking fund “without loans.” The post ponement of the payment for thirty years e£Hl!m^’ s ®®’®®® involvtfffte payment of §90,000 annually for interest, and *lB,OOO au nnally _for the sinking fund, and of $4,500 ““uafiy State tax upon interest—altogether $112,500 per annum. Again : The Controllers report says that there are now on hand for schools, gas, wa teTi etc., unsold loans amounting to $2,277.- The contracts for these Works are made and the loans will be issued during the com ing year. If the $1,500,000 are to be funded, there will be $4,000,000 of a loan on the market at the commencement of the year. R inay be said that the Commissioners of the Sinkmg Eund will take all this, but the law says that the amount must be raised bv tax, “exclusive of loans,” and this is wite lo prevent the compounding of the public debt as the result of funding. The debt should only he increased by thecorrespond-* ing erection-.of public works, the receipts from which will pay the advance Interest and sink the principal. • - . Again, to borrow this $1,500,000 will be to do it in paper and pay it in gold. While the cost of government is at paper prices, the taxes should also so be. It is stated that four per cent, is a high rate of taxation. But the aggregate of as sessments of property made to Councils is $164,000,000. Councils cannot change this assessment The people elect officers to as sess property, ana'the undersigned hope that the apparent high ratei will Sad people to correct the cause of the evil. The interest, account of the city is already $2,225,000, and we should pause before increasing it. .The undersigned do not refer to $600,000 for the South street bridge, nor to slou,ooo ordered to be expended for arterial sewers because if theße works be commenced the proportion of loans that can be sold In 1867 wilt be small. The Controller’s estimates for 1867 are - To this Councils have added— For House of Correction, - 100,000 00 For increased pay of police, - 140,000 00 _ Hi.- . §7,844,331 58 To meet this a tax rate of §4 75 will be necessary, and the undersigned think that there is no reason that will excuse the fuud ing of part of the expenses that will not j us tify funding the whole, and therefore urge upon Councils the honest payment of the whole. [Signed,] Jos. F, Marceb, Chairman, James Fbeehan, Joshua Spebing. Mr. Harper moved that the ordinance at tached to the minority report be considered.
