1923 2.11

Garbage removal, and street flushing are general city charges and are not assessed against the individual property owners.
A vivid comparison of Fort Wayne's advantages to an industry from a taxation basis is indicated by the following table in which 1920 population figures are used as a basis, and the actual tax rates applied in 1927 and 1928 together with a valuation basis, shows graphically the actual tax paid on improved properties of a value of $10,000, $25,000, and $100.000.
It will be noted that Fort Wayne is the lowest city in this tabulation.
