Making an increase over last years levy Of one
mill. Your Committee found 1t unqueslionably
necessary, inasmuch as our water works must
have some considerable attention at the hands Of
this Council In the way Of a new pump and other
repairs Of a really necessary nature And the
hands Of this Council being tied In the way Of an
appropriation by issuing bonds, which could not
be done otherwise than leaving the matter Of an
appropriation Of raising money by issuing bonds
to 1.-The voice Of the citizens Of Canton, which
would and could not take place before next fall,
leaving our beautiful city at the mercy Of the fire
iend, which has on several occasions threatened
that portion Of the city the building Of which
cost thousands Of dollars. For this reason the
Committee saw fit to increase the water fund
one tenth OF a mill to two mills so as to be able
to raise money by levy for the repair Of the Wa.
ter Works. This levy, with the balance in fHnds,
will give the Trustees something like fifteen
thousand dollars.
