Heavy state expenditures spark tax increase concern
Massachusetts faces rising 1897 costs led by a $500,000 estimate for McTemmay ballot boxes and a $400,000 dock project. Estimated expenses reach $9,230,276 with $6,166,708 expected receipts, leaving a $3,063,068 gap. Net debt will rise by more than $5,000,000 in 1897, with $11,730,000 in new bonds issued for metropolitan projects. If cuts fail, a state tax of at least $2,500,000 seems likely to cover the shortfall.
