These amounts are not in the least inflated, but represent the minimum value of property, and without desiring to censure our Board of Assessors - whose duties are always arduous and trying - to suggest that they guard against the ten deney of carrying up the valuation of our taxable property to the maximum point as a policy that is fallacious, and sure to lead to unsatisfactory, if not disastrous, results. The entire amount of taxable property in the city, by the Assessors' valuation of 1873, is thus showing the entire debt of our city to be less than two and three-fourths per cent. Of the taxable property, and less than the value of the property owned by the city an exhibit which can not fail to be satisfactory to every citizen.
