Presidents Ann ual Report.

We furnish eur readers this morning the
first anRzal report of the President of the
Board of Trustees Of the Town of Oroville
1t exhibits the 6uansial condition of the
Town and shows it to be in healthy and
prosperous condition, there being now in
the Town Treasury ST. ,793 Is. The receipts
into the Treasury from the incorporation in
May last to January lst, amount to S8045 ;
and the expenditures for the same period,
amount to SC ,25l 85. This is gratifying
state of affairs. and we cannot but regard it
as decidedly preferable to unlimited corpo-
rate powers and an oppressive debt. The
experience of every town or City in Califor-
mia, has shown that debt is certain to fol-
low the power to create it, and that high
taxation to meet accruipg interest, and for
the ultimate liquidation of the principal, is
the necessary result of such Indebtedness.
We regard that, clause, requiring that the
cash shall be in the Town treasury before
a warrant On be drawn forit, as the very
best in the whole oct of incorporation, and
one that will saye the Town from taxation
for the purpose of paying exorbitant rates
of interest so long as it shall be retained.
Admitting the evident and plain necessity
Of a more extensive and complete organza-
tion of the fire department, We would ac-
complish that object, not By changing the
act of incorporation so as to permit the
creation of debt, but by submitting the
question to the qualified electors Of the
Town, and let them decide by vote wheth-
er tax. should be imposed for such purpose.
Nothing can be fairer than that the property
of the town should be taxed for the means
necessary to preserve it from destruction by
fire, and there is hardly a doubt but that
the people of the Town would vote to raise
a. fund for that purpose IF we once incur o
debt, and are obliged to meet the current
expenses Of the Town with deprecated
scrip, our taxes will not only be higher, but
our expenses will be increased, and the val
ue of property decreased. With ali the
nagnlhcent improvements OF sacramento,
that city's indie btedness is constantly ringing
it's changes in the ears of its property hold
ers, andis now seriously retarding its prog
ress, Let us profit by the lessons afforded
by other towns and cities. and avoid all in
debtedness. Our natural advantages will
do much for US, if we can always manage,
as at present to have balance in the treas
ury
The suggestion of the President that ap-
propration should be made for the building
OF csterns out of the funds now on hand, is
good one, andwe hope our Town Fathers
will regard the subject favorably. and pro-
ceed to construct cisterns at the principal
crossings They would be of invaluable
service in case of fire, and without them a
ire engine would be comparatively useless.
