that on the let Of August the debt Of the city
was t132 .01G. 992. %. n sum less by $500 .2oSO4
than the debt on Aug. 1 1876. Mr.. Kelly esti-
mates tho actual value OF the city property Mt
over 1900 100000. more than twice tho amount
OF the debt and adds:
The assessed valuations OF real and per-
sonal estates subject to taxation in the present
year. amount To- 81 lOi ,0D2 093 which IL 80 $751;
l0i less than in 1876. The total amount OF as
scssed valuations ~ personal estate has de-
creased over t1OO.Ooo.oOO within the last nvo
years. while the valuations Of real estate have in
creased very nearly as much during the same
period, so that the total valuations OF 1877 nre
only f3.OO0.0O0 less than they were in 1872.
Within that period however. the area OF the
city and tho taxable property have been con-
sidcrahly Increased by the annexnton Of u por-
