THE FINANCE COMMITTEES
Notice to the City Treasurer

NOtlc0 10 the City treasurer
At meeting Of the finance committee
held at Alderman Barr's Office last evening
the following action was had:
On motion of Mr.. McMullen the city
treasurer is to bc notified to place the
water rent duplicate for 1880, into the
hands Of the mayor forthwith in accord
ance with sec. II, page lG3 Of digest of
ordinances of 1875.
In compliance with tic above notice the
city treasurer at once placed the duplicate
in the hands of the mayor. The section
referred to provides that the duplicate
shall be made out on or before the lst OF
April and placed in the hands of the
treasurer, to whom the rent shall be pay
able. On all rents paid on or before the 1st
of June an abatement of ) per cent. is al
lowed, between the 1st Of June and 1st of
July the whole amount is required, and
after July LIST . per cent. added. On the
first Monday in September tho treasurer
shall return to the mayor the duplicate
with a list of any rents that may be then
unpaid and the mayor shall Immediately
place tho same with the duplicate in the
hands of an alderman for collection, etc.
Such is the law, but for some years past
the custom sanctioned by the finance COM
mlCCec Has Uecu 10 pllcS cAiy u lISC VI I!lc
unpaid rents in the hands of tho mayor.
The delinquents were then notified that
suit would be brought if the rents were
not paid within a given time and this was
supplemented by a personal visit to the
delinquent by the superintendent OF water
works with a notice that the water would
be shut off if tho rent was not paid.
This custom resulted in securing q much
fuller and more prompt payment Of the
water rents than under the old plan and
at much less expense to the city. and
would probably have been continued had
it not been for the dispute which has been
recently going on between the treasurer
and the finance committee.
Another meeting of the finance commit
tee is called for Monday evening. the pur-
pose being a fuller investigation Of the
treasuler's accounts.
