This for one class only of city ex

to it the expenditures for interest on

under the present administrator
and various other necessary matters,
our readers will be able to form some
estimate of the liabilities of the city
at the close of the current city year.
It ougdt.to be enough to startle the
Mayor aud Council, aud cause them
to pause in their system of extrava-
ganee, which must bring upon the
city, if continued, bankruptcy and
loss Of financial credit.
But the allowances above cited are
not the only items noticeable in. the
report Of the last session Of the Coun
ell indicative Of the character of the
present administration. After resolv-
ing TO purchase between thirty and
forty thousand dollars worth of pri-
vate property, for no other purpose
than the Opening Of streets, they de-
oided to purchase of the Councilman
from the Sixth Ward, one of their o,cn
number. another piece Of real estate.

W. find also among the financial
items Of the last session of the Coun-
Gil that the Mayor is still engaged
in negotiating bank loans at heavy
rates of interest. lie reported to
the Council on Monday, that he had
effected two loans, amounting to
$12,3l6 or. While the time for the
payment of taxes has long since.
passed by without the collection of
a cent Of the assessment, the Mayor
IS engaged, in the midst of a financial
panic and money scarcity, in carving.
forward the city loans at heavy bank,
rates of interest. We are not in
formed as to the amount of the mu-
nicipal paper now in the banks of this
city, bat it would not surprise us if it
would approximate seventy FIVE or
eighty thousand dollars. It would.
be well for the Mayor to in
form the public on this point. Ger.
tain it is that it is much greater.
than it ever was under Mayor BA-
KER's administration.
We deem it our duty, as public Jour-
n~alists, to direct the attention of tax
payers to these subjects, in order that
they may take measures in time n
