It In certain that the committee will
recommend to councils the adoption of

"The city should reserve tho right to
tax tho street railway companies of

SOME
COMPARISONS

WITH
The Annual Cost of Maintaining the
City Government of This City Is
Excessively low Compared to oili
er Cities of a Similar Size Port
land with a Population Only Half
as Large Spends Three 'nines as
Much Statistics Which Reveal
Some Astonishing Tilings.
It has become almost 11 custom with
the citizens of this city to bemoan re
garding the heavy burden of taxutlon
which they labor under and to cry out
lo the gods for relief. It Is Indiscrim
inately charged that ftrmnton Is a hor
ribly expensively 1 tin city and that
councils aro continuously engaged In
the pleasant pastime of throwing tho
peoplci's money to the four winds of
heaven.
There may be a deal of truth in these
charges but after a careful study of
the most complete list ot municipal
statistics to be, found In any publica
tion In the country, namely, the llt
In the Brooklyn Kugle almanac for 1901,
one is forced to admit, whether ha
likes to or not, that Seranton is In nil
M'obublllty one of the two or three
most cheaply tun cities of any size In
these broad t'nlted States.
Htflow Is appended a Hit of the cities
bun I up; n population nearly the size
of .Seranton and ilgurcs showing the
annual cost of maintaining the mu
nicipal government of each for tho
year limo, not Including sinking fund
appropriations fop the payment of In
tiTost on and the
redemption of out-
staiuling bonds:

In the above lists cate has been
taken In order to make Hie compari
son fair, lo Include only those cities
which, like Seranton, do not possess
municipal lighting plants or municipal
water wot Its. The only city at all out
of the seventy-two which ate listed In
the Kagle almanac, which compares
nt all with Seranton Is the city of St.
Joseph, .Mo., which has it population
of POT!'. It costs atiiiunlly to tun
that city Just fSW.tiOlt or $fi,000 more
than this city.
A study of the statistics reveals tho
fact that Scranton's peiccntagi of the
real value of piopeily assesesd Is the
lowest . with four exceptions. In tiia
country. The law ol" the stale ot
Pennsylvania sa.vs that pioperty in
both thhd and second clam cities
must be assessed for Its real value.
II has. however, eoine. to be a soit of
imwrljten law with the nscss.uirs of
this city to assess propel ty at thirty
thtee per cent, of Its ical alue.
THK OTIIP.U P1TIKS.
The four titles menl Imied which
have 11 percentage of ascsn-v'd val'u
llnii as low as this city, or lower, are
the following: Plcvcland, no per cent.;
Omnhn, :!0 per lent.; Portland. Ote.,
2?. per cent., and Itoclcford. III.. 20 per
cent. The tax r.ttr Is, of unirst, ntutli
higher In lln-se cities than In Sci an
ion. In llockford, for instance. It Is
t'i'.'JI. as compated with crtntonV
t'l.'n. Itotlilotil, It might be 'iil, is a
IIUIh city, with a population of only
31.011.
No surer indication of what may bo
tei tiled Seranton's mushroom growth
is to be iornied than 11 glance nt the
statistics showing the number of
miles of rowers In Mime of the cltlos
mentioned above. Seranton Is way
ilavn on the list, bemuse she hasn't
had time yet to make more than an
effoit In establishing permanent Im
InoementK. The niimb'-r of tnll"s of ssweis In
some of the titles, whoe'e populations
