HIGHER TAXES!!! LOWER RENTS! ! HIGHER RENTS!!! This is the problem you face today, Mr. Rentpayer. What are you going to do about it? The solution is in your own hands. It is up to you to say whether your rent will be increased or not. How a 30 mill rate will hit the rentpayer compared with a 21 mill rate last year ! Take the man who lives in a house assessed at $5,000. At a 30 mill rate the tax will be $150, at a 21 yourself mill rate last year the tax was $105, a differenceof $45 which the rentpayer will be called upon_ to shoulder if a 30 mill rate is adopted at the city meeting. This means a boost in your rent of , $3.75 a month. Don’t blame the “profiteering” landlord, Mr. Rentpayer, if your rent is boosted,.place the blame on the Quigley administration that has increased the taxes almost 1009 in the las!: six years, and. on not voting for a lower tax rate as a protest to the present ine flicient city administration. The high rent you pay today is caused by the enormous jump in taxes in the last six years, and not You can’t have a high tax rate and low rents. It can’t be otherwise. by the greed of the “avaricious” landlord as the advocates of the 30 mill tax rate would have you be- lieve. If you have a high tax you must have high rents. What your rent will be for the present year will to a great extent depend on how you vote on the 30 mill tax rate. Keep your rent down by voting for the low tax rate. Don’t forget the time and the place. Friday night, February 27, 7:30 o’clock at the Grammar School Hall, corner of Main and Chestnut Street.
