City tax rate set by Board of Aldermen for coming year
The Board of Aldermen fixed the uniform city tax rate at 1.55 for all boroughs with borough variances for county appropriations. The total budget is 143.57 million, with 27.45 million general fund revenue and 5.10 million for county purposes. Expenditures raise city and county taxes. Richmond has the highest rate, New York County the lowest. Increases over 1907 range from 12 to 15 cents per borough. The rise is attributed mainly to higher city debt interest and a 10 percent boost in city appropriations. There is a 5 percent drop in the general fund surplus expected for 1908. Taxable city property rose about 362.8 million, and a 55 thousand dollar parkway restoration appropriation for Broadway above 59th Street was approved.
