NOW, y - cOnn0entIy eApeCteu ny an 0menu-
ment Of that charter, that it viii become the
imperative duty Of the City council to provide
for the erection and support Of Public Scools.
proper regard for the interests Of our fellow
citizens and our obligations 10 the institutions
Of onr country on this subject will combine
with the obligations Of Official duty in making
speedy and efficient efforts to establish such
schools without delay, and to adopt all neces-
sary preliminary steps therefor. Among these
the first will be to secure suitable lots in con-
venient locations, whereon to erect the necessary
buildings. And your committee would rec
commend that measures be taken at an early day
as practicable 10 select and purchase for that
purpose at least three parcels of land, not less
than one hundred # front, within The present
limits Of the town plat, and the titles thereto
secured to the City.
The question Of enlarsing the wirv-<-i4 also
subject Of the utmost importance. AS yet the
-space between 4,h and 5,h streets and other suit
able places are unoccupied by valuable buildings
for this purpose. There can be no doubt, bat
the owners Of contiguous lots which would be
rendered more valuable by this improvement,
would contribute very literally towards the
cost Of securing it to the city and your commit
tee would recommend that steps be taken as soon
as practicable to secure this object.
As to the means for effecting the various
purposes indicated in this report, your committee
would recommend that tax Of one fourth oil
one per cent be levied yearly until the requi-
cite amount is raised which would be in about
Eve years, with the increased assessment an'i-
cipated from the rise Of property. It might be
possible TO raise it by sale Of lands but there is
now sufficient debt OF this character resting on
the Clty unless there be an increase oftaxation,
unless the treasury is replenished in thi. manner
the constant payment Of interest would absorb
an undue proportion Of revenue and the other
ordinary and necessary Improvements depending
on this means for prosecution would have To
stop and il we resort to taxation it is better te
resort 10 it only for special object or objects as
Indicated before. The course suggested By
your committee would realize in their opinion
somewhere about twenty thousand dollars, which
would be ample for the purposes stated. AL
which is respectfully submitted.
