when the Democratic Council went out
of power two years ago. He said the
floating debt was funded In 1873. oct.
LIST, 1874, the floating debt was $10,770;
1875, $24, 800; 1876, S64 800; 1877, SOL 800.
He claimed that while the Republicans
were responsi ole for the floating debts of
1874 and 1875, the Democrats were re-
sponsible for the larger DEBT of 1876, and
that the Republican Council did not in
crease it over the figures of that year.
He claimed that the Council of last year
would make a good showing for its ex-
penditures, which W are all for work de-
manded by the people. He cited many
financial difficulties which the Republi-
can Council, he said, had to contend
with, and said he thought the report un-
fair and untrue.
Mr.. Chandler claimed as another point
that for the last five years the tax rate
had not been laid at a high enough figure
to IN eet the expenses of the city.
Mr.. Guthrie said that Mr.. Chandler
went too far when he said the report was
untrue. The figures were taken from the
books of the Treasurer. He said when
the gentleman mentioned the floating
debts for past years, he did not say any
thing about the balances in bank at the
time. The floating debt of 1876 was off
set by balance of about $39 600, but this
year there was no balance at all
The report was adopted without fur
ther discussion, Mr.. Chandler voting in
the negative.
