a3o for expenditures total, 81, 42s, $50 for
the incurring and correct application of
which the present City Council and the
several Administrators will be accountable.
ALFRED SHAW, Administrator.
Adopted on second reading.
The bills of Mr.. Blanchard for election
expenses were read and referred.
The ordinance setting apart certain
wharf expressly for steamboats,, was re-
ferred. The wharf is in the First District
The shell contract was given to G. Cor
rejolles, whose bid was thirty-five cents per
barrel.
Mr.. Emley offered market ordinance, to
sell the revenues. for the coming year
Postponed.
Resolution 70 appropriate money TO tit up
a room for the Supreme Court, was post
poned, as Mr.. Shaw thought the expense
should be borne by the State.
A document from Chinaman, Lee Fook
Wing. filed with circumlocution and many
dictionary words, asked that the dog ordi-
nance be so amended as to give him every
inpounded dog for fifteen cents, he to pre-
vent cruel waste, as he desired to appro-
pirate the animals for human food. The
petition was handed in by Mr.. Bonzano.
A motion to refer it to the Mayor created
laugh in the lobby. which brought his
Honor to his feet. In few words, he con-
demned all action not strictly dccorous, and
did not approve of the least hilarity. A mo-
ton to table the petition prevailed, although
Mr.. Bonzano explained that the petition had
been handed TO him and vouched for by a
gentleman of excellent standing.
Administrator Lewis handed in the resig
nation of Recorder Masicot. The paper
was received, and, on motion of Mr.. Shaw,
Governor Warmoth is to be notified.
Resolution appropriating $1,000 to pay for
militia rations was adopted, but subse-
quently Mr.. Bonzano gave notice that he
would move a reconsideration next week.
Mr.. West moved to amend the ordinance
granting the jackson Railroad Company
the right to run steam trains at night. The
change is to permit the steam cars to COM
mence running at 1890 A. NJ. just after the
horse cars cease running.
Action postponed.
The offer of Dir. John Bietry, proposing
to compromise his claim against the city,
was rejected.
The subject OF granting to certain parties
the right to erect cotton seed oil mills, was
discussed. Messrs. Shaw and West consd-
cred that some restriction should be placed
Oh manufactures which are classed as extra
hazardous by insurance companies,
Mr.. Shaw contending that there should be
some localities set aside for this class of busi-
ness, and opposed the adoption of favor
able report offered by Mr.. Bonzano.
Mr.. Bonzano took the position that the
mills would not harm that part Of the city
proposed to erect one in, but ON the con-
trary, build up the locality, especially as
the citizens in that neighborhood have sig
nified their willingness topermit the mills
to 60 into operation. He did not care how
insurance offices regarded these mills; he ia
vored the advancing Of all manufacturing
interests.
Postponed one week.

80 As the nighs editor of this paper was
vending his homeward way yesterday
morning about two o'clock, he is confident
that scattering snow fakes were falling. A
black cloud, utter darkness and bleak north
wind prevented the snow fakes from being
seen, but they were felt.

Leaving a reliable computation

OH T1SC,Vf O,'o1
If the deficiency cf $l,l64,SiS can not be
materially reduced; or if new and unfor-
seen causes shall add to the expenditures
and necessities Of the city government. it
will require special tax Of one per cent for
the occasion, to sustain the public credit,
and the truth may rs well be told at once.
Such contingencies look us in the face;
heavy lawsuits are pending and the e1ner-
gencies of protection from overflow, and of
epidemic, may be looked for any year to
add uncalculated liabilities.
While thus presenting, as believe it is
my place to do, a truthful and not over
sanguine statement Of affairs as they bear
on the future, it is only fair that such faots
as relieve the picture, and are due to tho
administrators of the several departments
should be mentioned. Had the administra.
ton been ablo to start with the power OF
funding all the past debt, and applying
their energies and the resources of the city
to the current and future, there would be
no deficiency Of accounts, and no need Of
special taxation above the one and three
quarters per cent authorized by law.
But the administration found back or
past ,aa due interest unpaid, amounting to
It il also punceually meeting it's current
interest, which, blythe FIRST Of December,
win amount t. ga, ,842
It has strictly appNed the taxes belonging

In the ordinance submitted for adoption,
we have an exhibit of expenditures and
liabilities of S5.507 ,6SS against pro bable re-
ccipts, as shown above, Of only So, ,54D, $40,
leaving an excess Of 81 ,966,S4S.
But on examing the detailed liabilities,
which are stated without reservation, sew
eral items are given which belong to the
unprovidcd for floating debt. They are as
follows:

to the funded debts, and in that way has
paid toward the the principal Of back debts,
as follows.
Ten per cent bonds. 1894 900.
And redeemed of consolidated bonds,
$39, 900.
1t has now, in bank iper report Of
the first Of October, lS7O), TO the
credit Of the consolidated fund
$293 ,999 04, which, making full allow
ance for interest till next summers collec-
ton of taxes, will enable it to redeem con-
sOlidated bonds with cash, at least to the
extent Of $134,OOO.
To the credit of the POntchartrain Rail
road it has a balance of cash with which it
has advertised to redeem bonds, Sl3, 800 Al.
Still other reductions Of the debt can be
made by vigilantly applying the balances
of funds, but the above can be surely
counted on at present. These payments to
the past due and current demands of a debt
which the present Council had no agency in
contracting, will satisfactorily account for n
deficit Of $4,000 III the revenues OF the
current year.
A strict analysis Of all the items Of the
estimate of expenditures and liabilities sub
mitted for the year 1871, amounting to
$3.50, ,6S8, will show that the deficiency for
this year, 1870, still to be provided for, was
really created by the past city govern
ment. ............ sfo,'Vo
