Citizens argue against repealing tax ordinances to cover about seventy thousand dollars in city debts. They warn such action would jeopardize city credit, risk asset seizure, and harm both rich and poor by restoring reliance on broad funding like bridge tolls and taxes. The piece cites 1836 to 1841 tax changes and insists on lawful, moderate taxation to meet obligations.
