THE CLHRKs RkpoRr.-The following is an
abstract OF the report of Mr.. Laird, Clerk OF the
Corporation, Tor the year ending December 81,
1867:
The total receipts from the list of January
70 the 3ist Of December, 1867, amounted 10
siis,2e6 81, and the total amount of expendi-
lures TO SSs,2tt.So, leaving balance OF cash on
hand, S2o.Os5. 81, OF which so, s,,5I belongs TO
the general fund Of the Corporation, and So
2l:i6 10 various special funds"
"There has been expended this year, out of
the general fund, in repairing s;reets and roads
and in cleaning streets and alleys, $k0s5,1l,
which exceeded the expenditures of lsH6 by
abontsl,so. As The STREETS will continue 20 need
many repairs II has been considered best TO put
the estimate for 1865 at Sio.QUo. As year by year
the legitimate tax per front foot for improve
ment OF streets is expended the burthen Of that
outlay falls the heavier upon the general fund,
and evidently, under present circumstance
VIII continue 80 TO do, until its operation on
that fund Will be OF very expensive nature.
1t seems proper TO bear in mind, also thai a. the
general tax is nominaily 20 cents on the Sl00, il
Is really SIS cents on the SiQ0 10 cents being APP
propriaied out of il for schools and cents for
the redemption OF water stock. The affairs Of
the Corporation have been lust as
economically administered. perhaps more,
so, in late years, than i'm previous years
In the latter years, the cost Of all require
stances more than doubled, whilst the tax re-
mains the same ~ in former years, when the
cost OF all things was much lees. From the
year 1879 10 1921 the tax greater, being

THE licenses this year have nor fallen short
as much as was anticipated in consequence of
the suspens ION OF the green groccr's license.
and the rigid police actions in regard to the
retail OF splrituous liquors. The former falls
on Sl,c2O.5s, and the latter ~ ,s~4.a5. In other
respects there has been general increase-the
total amount received this year being SD, 905 -
against Sli, 1908 last year. The fines this year
amount 10 S2-3g5.Sl-being S;nI % more than
