Book excerpt: Excerpt from Auditor's Thirty-Fifth Annual Report of the Receipts and Expenditures of the City of Boston, and the County of Suffolk, for the Financial Year 1846-47: 1846 May 1, to 1 May, 1847 The amount of money ordered to be raised by Taxes for the purposes of the coming financial year, 1847-48, exceeds by Eighty thousand Dollars theamount ordered to be raised for the purposes of 1846 - 47. The ratio of Taxation however, it is confidently, believed will not be greater than it was the past year, as the increased value of the real and personal Estates of the Citizens, between the lst of May, 1846, and the first of May, 1847, will no doubt be found fully competent to afford the sum Required at a rate not exceeding the per centage of last year, viz., Six Dollars per thousand.
