A Comparison of Municipal Expenditures Between Boston and Baltimore

Mayor Latrobe cites Boston auditor James Dodge’s 1884 report to compare city spending with Baltimore. Boston's total real and personal property rose to 682.66 million with a 170 tax rate, while Baltimore at 253.58 million total assessed value had a 160 rate. Boston spends heavily on fire, health, schools, and law, totaling about 1.92 million for public schools. Baltimore’s school outlays total about 0.70 million, with notably lower fuel and maintenance costs. The report argues Baltimore would require major legal reforms and cannot match Boston’s scale soon.
