<br /> Revenue has been computed on ~he presen~ tax ra~e of $2.65 per hundred,
<br />on all real estate and personal property; ~the exis$ing license tax schedule; one dollar per
<br />hundred on m~chinery and actual estimated items of other income.
<br /> The proposed tax of $1.00, in lieu of twenty cents, whichl shall recom-
<br />mend at.the proper time, wil~ produce SB, O00.O0 of revemue w~nich is reflected in the estimated
<br />1936 revenue.
<br /> Net Revenue, as estimated for 1936, is $5,627.29 less than ~he estimated
<br />net revenue for 1935.
<br /> The reduc$ion ef $16,876,33 of the 1936 Budget under the 1935, is largely
<br />due ~o the expenditure for the real estate assessment, which occurred in the former year and
<br />also the special appropriation made in 1935 for land for a Municipal Stadium.
<br /> Fe~le s ~
<br /> In 193~, the City received $139,000.00 from the ferries and for the first
<br />nine months of ~his year $91,208.8~. Npon this basis, with allowance for heavier traffic, in
<br />December, it is estimated that ~he 1935 receipts will approximate $~25,000,00, which figure is
<br />used in the 1936 estimate of revenue. This is ass~mlng that the 1936 receipts w~ll equal those
<br />of 1935-
