TIE 8ER1ouB CONDITION OF CITY FL
NAN0E8.

NAMuEb,
From reading tho proceedings Of tho Com
mon Council, tho public will fnil to under
stand tho present critical condition Of tho
city finances Tho situation is by no means
q satisfactory ono. The Common Council in
Committee OF tho Whole Ind framed tho Ap-
preparation bill for the nine months ending
Dec. 81, 1876, npproprating an aggregate
equal In proportion to m annual levy Of
S5, $40, eco. This did not include o quarter Of
a million past dus to tho gas companies, nor
appropriate within $500, 600 Of enough to pay
tho consumption Of gaa for the present year
at tho high prices charged the city By hom,
and 1t also excluded m appropriation Of
$500, to cover past deficiencies, which had
been asked for by Mr. HAYES. The Comp
troller La in Now York endoavuring to renew
his certificates Of indebtedness. Of which ut
lenst $4,000, o00 will fall duo on or before
Juno !, 1870. Upon hearing Of tho action
of tho Council Mr.. HAYES autographed the
Mayor and Council that he found extreme
difficulty in making new debt and borrowing
money to take up the outstanding certidoates !,
and that to sustain tho falling credit Of the
| city II waa necessary: !. That the Council
should offer to those who owo back taxea an
nbatcment Of 10 per cent II sud taxes were
paid within given time. 2. Tlatthe Coun~
eli include In tho appropriation $500, 900 TO
meet past deficiencies. There were other
recommendations which It Is unnecessary to
repeat.
In tho Common Council, on Tuesday after
noon, there was q discussion on theso recon-
mentlat!ons. There were several questions
as To what the $500, 600 was to cover, and the
explanations offered weso ut tho best very
obscure. One brilliant idea waa suggested,
that the appropriation was needed that tho
Comptroller might say lie had $500, 600 aur.
plus capital On which to back up tho credit Of
the city In obtaining new loans. We reue,
to soy that the object Of this appropriation Ii
not Of sentimental character. II Ia severely
practical; It Is to covor absolute do6cienc!es
caused by tho expenditure Of money by tA
city for which there has been no appropria
ton, and for which no tax has been levied
Tho Appropriation bill, as 1t low stands, CO.
tains On item Of s9io,oo0 to cover IN e,
panditure made last year for water extension
for which no tag wns levied. An equ'
amount OF certificates is now outstandin
bearing interest. That expenditure ougf
never have besn 1nada II was an addition
s25o,oo0 to tho city debt, without ths slight
est pzetensa Of legality.
It was also suggested that tho deaclenc
/ was caused by the GAGE detalcation. whic
t WA represented as amounting 10 S4a2, o0{
0 less SEQ, 900 paid ainca. These figures IL
t cluded tho charge Of e130,000 tor interest
I which We suppose will never be allowed an
I. cannot be enforced by law. The deta]catlo
8 proper is, therefore, now about $500, ,0ot
but that is only an item In the dsAcianc,
Z There was $500. 900 Of money received tso,
4 the State on account Of the canal dsbt, an

WILD TALK IN THE COMMON couNo1I

-
Messrs. Cu11EnroN aud CAMpnx1L ara mem-
bers Of the Common Council who like to
hoar themselves talk, and who air their do1na-
gogism on every possible occasion. They
always ''go for tho old hag-and m appro-
priation." In tho debate on Tuesday On tho
city finances, Mr. Cu1IEnroH was insolent,
ignorant, and defiant. Ho rejected al meas
urcs looking to economy Us intended to break
down tho present City Administration, Of
which he is q champion, representative, ind
leader. He WIS opposed to my measure to
reduce expenditure, and ho expressed the
hopo that tho dty'a papor would 60 to pro-
test, when, ho said, tho "people would rise
On saassa and tako measures to prevent such
ca1amity,"-tho aroused and outraged people,
meaning tho tax-eaters, would bring tho tax
fighters to terms. What this exactly means
in not very clear, but We assume that, coming
from H1r. Ou11EnroN, 1t means TINT tho non-
tax-pAyers-tha bummers, and loafers, md
pensioners on the city, the olllce-holaers and
their dependants-will hold maas-meetings
md " demand that, if the property -owners
do not submit to all tho taxauon that Mr..
Ou11Ra1oN proposes, then thoir property
must DO taken away from them. AL Of
which Is rank ignorance and insoleuco.

put tho brand Of OAM On all men who ro-
fused to pay their taxoa." Ho objected to
my appropriation to pay tho floating debt t;
ho Was for Issuing certificates instead Of pay-
ing; he was for pi1ing up certificates In def-
ancs Of law and Constitution I; and declared
that tho man who said the city's paper might
