ble condition of tho city fl nancea shall present
itself.
There has been received by the City Trea?
surer, einco tho present Council waa Bworn
into omeo, only $73G G5, while he has paid ont
$1,505.02, so that np to tho CIOBO of business,
.on tho 15th instant, thoro was iu tho City
Treasury only tho small pittance of $447.83.
Tho duty of tho proaent Council aecmu to
be an imperativo ono. Tho closest scrutiny
must ho cxerciaod hy every committco, in
order that the expenses may bo kept down to
tho lowest point cousistont with tho dignity
of tho city, and tho neceseitiea and require?
ments o( the times.
It ?B ttuo, tho State Legislature bas granted
lo tho City Couucil tho power to raino money
.su?Viun nt to carry on all needed improve?
ments, and ti) keep tho machinery of tho city
government in motion, but with all thia
power, there le nccoauity for prudent and wiae
discr?tion. Unfortunately for tho Council,
tho recent law of tho "General Asaembly
granling the city thc right to ia?uo bonds ia
very defective. Wo eau oiily negotiato thoao
honda at publie Balo. They cannot bo put
upon the market iu any othoi tray. If bankera
form combiuationa to keep the honda below &
certain prico, there ia no way bj which tho
city can prevent the bonds from being sold at
a great sacrifice, if they aro onco put up for
public Bale. Whether thoro is any way ny
which money can bo raised, other* than by
?ale ot theao honda, remains to bo demon?
strated. There ia a growing ueceaai*y for
improvement in tho city, and moro particu
lariyin tho atreot department, where conai
derablo money inunt bo expended before our
Htroeta can bo put in a proper condition to
answer the public demands. Tho iniprovc
mcntH already begun, viz: tho new City Hall
and Market, should bo pushed rapidly for?
ward, providing tho city can do so without
serious leas to tho Treasury by borrowing
money it ruinous ratea of interest.
These aro questions which your committee
feel called upon to prescut for tho considera?
tion of the Council boforo any activo mea?
sures aro taken to iucrcaxo tho already heavj
load now bearing upon the City Treasury,
Tho burden of taxation ia heavy, while thc
proa peet a tor reducing it aro by uu means Hat
toling at preHcnt.
Your committee ia confident, that aomo ol
tho departments of tho city government
could, by proper management,Le made uearb
eolf-anatainiiig. Tho police forco, aa an t x
ample, could, by a proper enforcement of thi
various city Ordinances, yield a revonui
nearly large enough to support it, wit hon
drawing entirely upon tho City Treasury
The lines and penalties for non-"ompliahci
with Ordinances would afford a largerevenue
if collected according to tho spirit of tho law
The bonded debt of tho city on tho 8th o
April, instant, aa shown by tho printod stato
meut ?.f the City Treasurer, amounted b
$311,850. NO portion of thia debt, however
lalla due prior to 107(1, but tho annual into
rent upon thu entiro amount, aggregatiilj
?22,150, must bo provided for. Thia, adde
lo the interest upon tho" lloatmg dobl
amounts to nearly ?21,00*) p?r annum, or a
average expenditure of $2,UU0 per mouth to
Intercut.
The sources of revenue upon which priuc
pal dependence is placed aro taxes, liceuaei
and lines and penalties. The assessed valu:
lion of property subject to municipal taxi
lion, both real and personal, amounts t
about $5,0C0,0UJ, and that, at a tax of one pr
centum, jields a revenue of SOO.OiO. Tho 1
censes tor the year -1871 nmonntod to $20
lill 17, the water renta $5,570, and tho rotun
from ilie market $2,100. This yields a toti
revenue-provided the t.ixea aro all collecte
-of about ?SJ.000 per annum. With th
amount, tho city govi rnmottt could easily L
run, were it not tli.it we have to meet at oin
un outstanding obligation of upwards of |8Q
<?M0. Thia could be done froiA the proceeds i
tho a.do of city bonds, thus leaving lor tl
actual current expeus?.s thc? cmrtut roveni
from various sources.
Thia, your Committee fee! confident, can 1
d me without any Further increase ol' tax
lion, or tho imposing of any additional bu
den? upon the pcoph*. I'capocttullv submi
