Koenigsberg Faces War Tax Legacy and Grievances
A Pall Mall Gazette excerpt notes Koenigsberg might object to another war levy as taxpayers still bore Napoleonic debts. Originally set at £900000 in 1807, it was cut to £44600 with immediate payment, then financed by a loan at 3 percent. Principal and interest were not cleared until 1891. The city, poorer than Dantzig, received only £3760 yearly of the 1871 indemnity to cover the debt.
