In conclusion, the Mayor calls direct atten-
ton to the large city debt. The present debt
of the city amounts to S4,6SO, s7O,s9, inclu-
ding the amount of Stock in the hands of the
commissioners of finance. The balance of the
city subscription to the Baltimore and Ohio
Rail Road Company, Of 100000, is liable to
be called for during the year, which would
swell the city debt to $5,6sO,s7O,ss. The city
is also incumbered with at least one third of the
State debt, for which it is liable TO be taxed,
amounting to $5,ll5,sSs. This will make the
city debt $40, zoe, POSSE.

On Monday the Council convenedi lis
Session, when the Message of the new Execu-
tive was delivered The Mayor first calls atten-
ton to the Act of General Assembly of 1917,
which requires the City to be divided into four
teen Wards when the inhabitants shall number
ninety thousand. The population having been
ascertained, by the late census, to be 1902, sis,
the Mavor recommends the measure of division
10 the consideration of the Council The col
lections of City Taxes for the last year, have
amounted to S242, 794,55. This leaves uncol-
lected of taxes due for 1889 and 1910, S4l6,-
900. The large amount of arrearages re-
ouires. the Mayor thinks, the adoption of a
more summary mode of collecting taxes. He
therefore recommends that it be made obligatory
on the Collector to deliver his Tax bills on or
before the first of July, in the year in which the
levy is made; with notice on the bills, and also
through the public papers, to all who have
taxes to pay, that unless they are paid on or
before the first day of October in the same
year, the property will be advertised at thirty
DAYS notice, and if not then paid, cost and taxes
it will be sold to the highest bidder, for cash.
The number of interments for the past year,
have been 1926, being less than the preceding
year by 1875. This is about two per cent. of
the whole population, including strangers.
The receipts of the Register for the past year
amount to 81 ,2O5, 1859 So, his expenditures to

The PROSPECTIVE ANB PRESCRIPTION SYSTEM
BIL.-The bill introduced by Mr.. BENTON, was
taken up this morning, and advocated at some
length by MIR. CLAY, who descanted on the gen
eral merits of the bill, as advantageous to the
u s., and beneficial to the hardy and enterpris-
ing pioneers of the West. Mr. Clay maintained
that this bill stood Oh higher grounds, than any
other bill which had been introduced, because
general.
MIR. CLAY was followed by Mr.. BENTON, who
maintained that it would be saving of time
and trouble, to pass this bill,-he read ex-
tracts from Mr. Van Buren's Message, in rela-
ton to the presumption system, to show that he
was always in favor of such measure, and stood
at the head of all the great leading democratic
measures ofthe country.
The debate was continued for some time, on
incidental points, but was passed over infor-
mally.
The rest of the business of the day, was chief
ly of a private character.
