CONTROLLERS REPORT - CITY
PROPERTIES.

II
City Controller Nandell's semi-annual re
| port for the six months ending the 31st OF
last December is a document which, if i,
attests the financial difficulties and embarrass-
ments of the city, tells also of the vastness OF
her financial resources. The report is accom-
panied by the municipal budget for 1868
| signed by the presidents of the two boards OF
the council and approved by Mayor Heath:
and according to which the total receipts for
this year are estimated at s4,S47,0 51 SO, and
the total expenditures at 50, 670 933 06
There is no explanation in either tables or
toot-note of this enormous excess of receipts
over expenditures. But, looking at the lists
OF items under both heads, we find that the
consolidated loan tax, and the tax for the in
terest on railroad bonds, amounting together
to nearly million of dollars, are set down
among the receipts, but not among the ex-
penditures. These are special taxes to meet
certain annual liabilities, and whether paid
out or not in the year in which they are col
lected, to exhibit them among the receipts
alone fails to represent the real position of the
city in respect to estimated receipts and ex-
penditures.
The list and valuation of city properties
free from membranes, appended to the re-
port, present some encouraging figures. The
real estate and machinery owned by the civ
in four districts are valued at sS.S17. 500.
But in estimating the available assets of
the city, scarcely more than one half the
va1ues epfaripo into tbis a,,,,ooo4o -
taken into account. These consist of bat
ture, vacant lots, wharves and market houses.
all Of which are either sources of annual pro-
fit or capable Of conversion into cash. But
this cannot properly be said of the public
squares, the city park, the draining machines,
the prisons, recorders offices, court-houses
and school-houses. While the legal ability of
the city to ALLEVIATE some of these may be
doubted, there is no question that all of them
are needed for the purposes to which they are
now devoted, and that none of them, con-
sistently with these purposes, can be made
sources of annual revenue. They are valued
in the controllers schedule at nearly four
millions. Deduct this sum from the total val
uation of enumerated city possessions in the
four districts, and there remain about five
millions of productive assets. The properi-
ties outside of the city, enumerated by tine
controller, contain but one available item,
which is ground paying rent at the rate of
$4,000. In railroad and Water Works
stocks, the city owns the nominal amount of
s4,OOO,OOO. 1t would be an excellent bargain
If This aOul1 Ia -.
ment of outstanding city notes. But it is to
be feared that it forms at present about as
dead piece of capital as those cemeteries
which the controller credits with an imposing
money value

tons than to the matinee and hurdle race to
be given on the Metairie Course, on the 18th

hospitality, and unimpeachable reputation
as hosts on such occasions, are too we'll

There are already several entries made

the occasion.
