Kinsler was referred to the Committee of Ways and M. ans. and they beg !i ave to report unfavorably on the pe? tition, for thc following reasons: The m cessitii s i f the city an fully i ipial to ib-ite of any individual, and involve the interest of many individuals whose claims on tb? city treasury must be postponed wheu it is empty. The only means of supplying the treasury is from the collection of taxes. One-1 .nrlh of the taxes of last year are yet unpaid, and to grant the petitioners their request would involve thc necessity of granting similar pi titions for others, under like circumstances, and thus cut off all re? sources or submit to thc charge class administration. Another consideration ls, that we cannot see tho i reliability of any increased value in real estate in the city in the next ten months, while the debt must imitase by the accumulating interest. Whilst your commit t<. sympathize di < ? | J - ly with tic pt titioners, iii justice to the city and to themselves,-they feel bound to report adversely, and leave the conclusion to thc better judgment and decision ol your*honorablo body. l?esni ctfullv submitted.
