In view of all these facts, the earnest advice of
the Finance Committee to the Council, is, let no
unwise appropriations be made,
but let us strictly adhere to the principles of
economy, and bring our expenditures within our
means. For already, in the first three months Of
our term Of Office one half of the revenue Of
1871, left us, $12270,l1, has been appropriated
and expended. Unless we practice more econo-
my it were useless for to remind the Council
of the fact, long before our term of office ex-
pires, we will incur large amount of debt, and
our people be cursed with burdensome and OPP
pressive tax for the year 1872. We may well
pause to ask will not the fortitude of the people
of Staunton, begin to fail under the burden of
taxation. In closing our report we again urge
the Council to a more economical administration
of the city government.

Council asking the aggregate large appropria-
tons to be expended in improving the various

NOVEMBER 7, 1871.
The Committee ON Finance submitted Report
which being considered was adopted, in the
words and figures following to wit:
To The President and Gentlemen Of the City Council.
The Finance Committee to whom was referred
(by resolution of the Counci(, the reports of the
Treasurer, Clerk, and Chief of Police, Exhibit
ing the financial condition of the city, July L.
1871. We earnestly invite the attention of the
Council to said reports, as question of interest
ton of the city when we came into Office, July l.,
1871.
We will now give from these reports before us,
the aggregate amounts allowed and unpaid by the
Treasurer, appropriations contracts made and
unfulflled, with all the available revenue of 1870
on hand July l, 1871, to pay said appropriations
BY comparing these reports we find as follows
The sums due, allowed and unpaid
by the Treasurer, July l, 1877, $3,359, 30
Due on contracts authorized and
unfulflled and appropriations, 1855 6
Allowance out of the Revenue of
1870 to pay city bond beld by

Total aggregate of outstanding ap ----

By the same reports we also find, all the avail
able revenue Of the city, in cash, and taxes re-
naming in the hands Of the officers, July 1, 1871,
to pay the above appropriations are as follows.

From this statement the fact appears, after de-

to pay the same out of the revenues of 1870 or
