Excerpt from Report of the Committee on State and Municipal Taxation of the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New-York, May 2d, 1901 Note - This table is sufficiently accurate for the purpose of a rough comparison. If stated more closely, that is to say, with census figures to date and with a separation of items of expense indicating how much is expended on lines common to all the cities, how much on lines not common to all and how much for interest on indebtedness, the showing would be worse for our city. It is probable that a right figure for London would make the per capita expense less than one-half of that for new-york. Census Per Capita Year. Population. Expenditures. Expenditure.
