Mil waukee's claim to fame as highest ranking American city in point of financial rating has been challenged by the Boston finance commission, which asserts that Boston enjoys a far superior position in the matter of municipal debts and taxation. In a report just submitted to the commission by its secretary, Robert E. Cuniff. Mayor Daniel W. Hoan of Milwaukee is accused of "high pres sure salesmanship" and "flamboyant claims." A comparison of the statistics of the two cities shows, the report says, that Milwaukee, with a taxable valuation oi $y ;,B4 j,hou, or less than one-half that of Boston, Sl, 958,010,000, has a municipal debt of 46,380, 000 against Boston's debt of $65,071,000, and that Milwau kee's debt and share of county in debtedness is $54,217,072 as com pared with similar Boston indebted ness of $66,071,369. The report fays Milwaukee's per centage of debt to one thousand dol lars valuation is $47.90 for city debt and $55.60 for combined city and county, against $33.20 for Boston debt and $33. SI for city and coun ty obligations. Cuniff found that Milwaukee, in stead of occupying a place at the head of American cities, was stag gering under a rapidly increasing debt, suffering from burdensome tax ation and was employing a system of taxation which was twice as cost ly to the taxpayers as was the Bos ton method of financing in anti cipation of taxes.
