Among the various municipal conditions is that the inhabitants accept the taxes imposed by the elected representatives for the needs of the city. Those who pay these taxes have the right to vote. The total government aid to local councils is 820,530 EGP, of which 59,246 EGP is distributed among 33 local councils. In addition to government aid, local councils receive fees for authorities, use of public roads, planning, etc. In the various councils, these fees and special taxes imposed by these councils are also collected. With this addition, the budget of the thirty-three local councils increased from 59,246 EGP to 89,901 EGP, an increase of 51.0 percent, or an expenditure of 154 milliemes per capita. The budget of the six various councils increased from 280,707 EGP to 80,909 EGP, a 25.4 percent increase from government aid, or an expenditure of 353 milliemes per capita. It is evident from this that the money that can be spent on municipal works is more in the various municipalities than double what is available for works in local councils. Government aid constitutes two-thirds of the total revenue of local councils and only a quarter of the revenue of various municipalities. The fault in this is that the inhabitants' interest in their city's affairs and local improvements is greater if they have various municipalities. However, the drawback of the current system is that taxes are voluntary, allowing individuals to evade paying all taxes while benefiting from all city improvements. Therefore, it is highly recommended that the various councils be granted public authority to impose taxes on all inhabitants.
