hloltlreal property owners have sent a pro- test: against being tirade the prilnaryi tax colt- tributors for the city for education alld all other purposes. Addressing a lllectillg of the Build- ing Owners and Managers Association, l\lr. Patti Dauscreau. ireasurcr of the ljuioll of l‘l"opcrty Owners said, in addition to the cost of editcatiou the property owner has solely to bear cost of snow removal and street ntaitlteuallce. lt is evident that he derives a benefit from this, ill tilltainillg easier access ln his home; however, snow rc- moval is also beneficial to nlntorists, to busi- ness. to finance, etc" who make but a small cou- tribution. The property owner bears the whole cost of general public works. tunnels. streets, general expropriatious. .\ll this l-csillts from the fact that real estate is the victim of its vir- tues; it is the only form of wealth that can not be disguised; that can not move away; real gstatg i5 taxed because it isseasy to impose taxes tlpoll it. and the taxation is sllllple, raplil and accurate. Ii is known at a glance that a known increase in the re"l estate tax will prililtlce an exactly COITCSPOIHJI}; amount of increased rev- enue.
