As compared with 1873, this report shows
an increase in the value Of real estate Of
about $4,000 and decrease In personal
estate OF about S233000. The aggregate
decrease will decrease the taxation about
Sl.4Il.
The amount OF city taxes reported dein-
qucnt for the year 1878 is $l0,SG3.37.
1t is thought that the marked decrease in
the value OF personal property above stated
is owing TO the investments OF the people
pie in non-taXuhle bonds.
The Council this afternoon authorized the
Finance Committee to invest the whole
amount of the sinking fund for the year
SG,0J3-lt being stated that the investment
might be more advantageously done now
than hereafter.
The total number OF prescriptions issued
10 the poor OF the city during the month OF
