INDIANAPOLIS MARKET HOUSE.
On motion by Mr. LINSDAY, Mr. McSheehy's bill [H. R. 391] authorizing the Common Council and Board of Aldermen of cities having a population of 60,000 or more inhabitants to levy, assess and cause to be collected, a special tax of five cents on the hundred dollars, on the taxable proprty, each year for four years, for the purpose of building market houses and other public buildings, etc., was read the third time.
Mr. McSHEEHY said the city was already in possession of about $75,000 for this purpose, and they wanted about $125,000 more. This bill simply provides for the submission of the question to the people of the city of Indianapolis, whether they wish to levy this tax or not. I hope the bill will pass.
The bill passed--yeas, 76: nays, 2.
