The predominance of subventions and grants in the support of 
the decadent townships is strikingly shown in table 19.

Subventions and grants supply slightly over one-half of all revenue 
in the decadent townships, and the property tax supplies practically 
all of the balance. ‘There are no special assessments and no earnings 
of public-service enterprises. The townships are obviously in a 
pauper condition.
