TAX LEVY FOR 1911. (Revised Laws, Chapter 12, Section 54.)
An Act authorizing Assessors in Cities of less than One Hun- dred Thousand Inhabitants to use the Valuation of the Year Preceding as a Basis of Taxation.
Be it enacted, etc., as follows :
SECTION 54. The taxes assessed on property exclusive of the state tax, county tax and sums required by law to be raised on account of the city debt shall not in any year exceed twelve dollars in any city on every one thousand dollars of the asses- sors' valuation of taxable property therein for the preceding year, said valuation being first reduced by the amount of all abatements allowed thereon previous to the thirty.first day of December in the year preceding said assessment, subject to the following provisions : If the city council of a city which con- tains less than one hundred thousand inhabitants according to the last preceding national or state census so determines, the average of the assessors' valuation of the taxable property therein for the preceding three years, said valuation for each year being first reduced by the amount of all abatements allowed thereon previous to the thirty-first day of December in the year preceding said assessments, shall be used to determine said limit of taxation instead of said assessors' valuation of the preceding year. In the city of Boston, and in all cities which contain one hundred thousand inhabitants or more according to the census aforesaid, said average shall be so used. In the city of Boston, said taxes shall not exceed ten and one-half dollars instead of twelve dollars as aforesaid. Any order or appropri- ation requiring a larger assessment than is herein limited shall be void. The provisions of this section shall not affect any ex- isting exemption from the operation of the corresponding provisions of earlier laws.
