Upon the passage Of the act laying taxes for the
present fiscal year, by which the taxes were re-
duced from seventy cents in the one hundred to
sixty cents in the one hundred dollars, readily
perceived that the revenue for the year would not
be sufficient to liquidate the balance Of the float
ing debt and execute to any considerable extent
the Improvement of streets, and was reluctantly
compelled to suspend orders for what deemed
highly necessary improvements in consequence of
the reduction Of taxation and stated TO the
Councils in my communication of March 8, 1856,
"that the revenue had been applied almost exclu-
sively to the liquidation OF outstanding debts of
the Corporation the necessarily large expenditures
from the general fund, the indispensable current
expenses of the city and the work necessary to bc
done to complete the great number Of footpave-
ments that have been executed, which have been
sufficient to absorb it as fast as received"
During the year 1t was deemed advisable by the
Councils to order by special acts the execution of
certain laws, and in pursuance thereof the act
of October 4tb, 1855, appropriatng 5000 for the
purchase Of schoolroom in the First ward, and
the joint resolution of July 10th, 1866, request
ing the Mayor to execute the law to improve Four
teenth street Immediately by borrowing sum suf-
icient to execute the Law" was also executed by
borrowing $4,000 upon account of the Second
ward and by the act of March 28th, 1858, the
Mayor was also directed to anticipate the general
fund to the amount Of $4,000 to purchase steam
dredge for the canal, which has been done. The
act entitled "An act for-the redemption of certain
paving stock, the refundng Of certain paving tar,
to suspend the sale of property advertised for GER
tain paving tar and other purposes" being for
taking up and relaying the pavement on the north
and south SIDES Of Pennsylvania avenue, between
lTth and 22d streets west, has been executed by
refnnding the money which had been paid in, the
striking from the tax books the unpaid accounts,
and by continuing the original certificates issued
to the contractors in December 1858, which
amounts to $3,l9444, chargeable to the First
ward
There are large number of appropriations for
the Improvement of streets, &c. in the several
wards which remain unexecuted for the want of
funds.
The following is statement of the unexecuted
