The Committee on Finance, TO whom
was referred by Council the estimates Of
the Committees on. Streets, Alleys and
Grades, Lights, Water Works and Fire
Department, reported that alter spending
two evenings 10 consulting and consider.
ing the interests OF the city, as represent
ed through the above committees, they
found that the amount set aside by ordln.
ance for the paying Of interest and re-
tiring the a Cpitoi loan is Sl6, 900 annually
instead Of Sl7, 500, as reported by them
Nav Sd; that there ia a balance Of Sl2,-
600 overdue on Capitol lots, and 81 900
not vet due, but will fall due April, 1880,
instead Of $4,000, as reported. These
corrections will give S24,7S9 25 as the
amount to be disbursed by the various
departments Of the city, instead OF $751;
$50 25, as reported May 81; but as the
Council BY contract has set aside for
street cleaning S2,170 to Messrs. L. CLARK
& Co., the above amount will be reduced
TO S22,Gl9 %. The committee were OF
the opinion that the above amount due
for Capitol lots, as we'll as the $4,000 not
vet due, can be carried by the holders Of
tho notes, at the rate Of interest the city
is now paying Is per cent, should the
Council 90 decide.
In view OF the amounts OF money that
seem to be i~mperatively necessary TO be
expended, as set forth by the various
committee, the Finance Committee think
that the interest OF the city demands that
a temporary loan or loans be made dur.
ing the year, as the same may be need.
ed, Of $4,000, to make up the deficiency
that will arise over and above the entire
revenues Of the city, after making the
