CRY AFFAIRs.-When the late Board of
City Trustees came into Office, the City was
in debt S665 so; during the year new
bridge was built over Sonora creek at a cost
of S406 4S; besides the furnishing of lumber
and repairing all the bridges within the cor
porate limits. The City is entirely out of
debt with balance SIG 25 in the Fire Fund
and Sc in the Cemetery Fund. There is a
delinquent list of taxes for 1869, amounting
to Sl64 40; considerable portion of which
will be collected. The streets, bridges and
Cemetery are now in good condition and will
require buta small sum to keep them in repair
There seems to be no necessity requiring the
levy of any property tax for the year 1870.
The Street Tax will probably be fixed by the
Legislature at 81, a bill having been sent to
our delegation to that effect. This tax. if
properly collected should yield enough to pay
all necessary cost of maintaining our local
government for the coming year. We trust
that our new Trustees will bring themselves
to the practice of strict economy and raise no
more revenue than is actually necessary.
