MAYORS OFFICE,
AUSTIN, Texas. June 5, 1876.


To the Board Of A der men Of the city of Austin:
Gentiemen-As you are aware, it was my
duty, under the ordinance of the city, t.
make a report to your body on the first
Monday in May, but owing to protracted
illness, have not been able, until now, To
perform that duty.
In regard to the financial condition Of the
city, refer you to the reports of the asses
sor and collector, the treasurer and city
clerk, which were submitted to your body
at your last regular session. While our
city is not specially embarrassed, its tinan-
cial condition is not AS good rs we desire t.
see it. But this seems to be attributed
more to the lack of power to collect taxes
promptly than it does to any extravagant
expenditures on the part of the city gov
eminent. There are now due the city
between $40, 900 and $50, 900 in back taxes,
mostly due on real estate. Heretofore,
as you know, we have had no. authority to
en- ,orce the collection of this tax, but VIC
hope soon to be able to collect taxes from
all promptly aud uniformly, in proportion
to the amount of property each owns in the
city. Then there will be no necessity or
even excuse for floating debt, a misfor-
tune to which we were compelled To SUBJ
NIT under the former constitution and
laws. In this connection. feel 1t my duty
to make a few suggestions, which l trust
you will consider IN the spirit in which
they are offered, and if you think proper,
adopt them as our future policy:
l. Provide at once for the sinking fund,
and interest due on the bonded debt,
by instrucling your Finance Committee,
by resolution, to make an estimate what
amount of the years income is necessary
for that purpose, then authorize the asses
sor and collector to have an additional
column in his assessment rolls in which
that special tax shall be entered, and COM
bel HIM to collect from each taxpayer that
special tax in money. By that means the
Interest fund will always be in readiness,
while each year enough sinking fund will
accumulate TO restore q portion of the
bonds, and the bonded debt can be an
nually reduced
2. At the regular session on the first of
each month make appropriations in the
following order;
l. Provide for the maintenance and ne
ceSsary expense of the Fire Department.
:. Provide for the payment of the water
and gas bills.
3 Provide for policing the city, feeding
prisoners. paupers and all necessary actual
expenses OF the city goveFnmsas. L..
4. Provide that what remains after the
above appropriations are paid shall be ex-
pended in repairing and keeping In repair
the streets of the city.
/ am induced to make these recon-
mendstions that We may keep our
disbursements within our income, and
TO do this We mast know how
much We receive and what we expend each
month. That the disbursements shall not
exceed the appropriation, let The Mayor

exe.ntion the numerous friends of Mr. Greeley III

The address of Gov Wcodford was powerful

despite. the dodciug of the politicians, the people
have forced to the front in tins campaign. lie came,
he said not to handy words about candidates OF to
make personal attacks but TO discuss the conflict OF
ideas which make this campaign all important The
rcsult of his address has been, as was the case In
OHIO last fall to elevate the discussion of political
topics and to band the Intelligent classes into an
enthusiastic support of Republican principles, and to
make the campaign aggressive in the best sense.
One Of the most liking points In his address was an
argument that the repeal of the date clause IN the
Resumption act would have made that
act a purely imitation act; that act provides
for free banking alu the uhllhltc" lsSue "a
National bank notes, and il f0rbids the cancellation
Of erseubacks below $3O0OU0,0O0; at the same
time the provisions ior the purchase Of gold to re-
deem the greeubacls have reference only to the
time for redemption, and are not operative If the
date clause is repea ed, that without this clause
