It is claimed by tie debt statement >sued
Feb. 10. 1884, that the debt Of the city had
been reduced sS2j6.l0. This is denied. and
our Mayor advanced this theory in expana-
ton Of his position. He claims that the
amount expended according TO the several
funds was larger by about 5000 than the
amount received and paid out BY the treas
and .haraf,-, ! II

knew that such was not the case, and many
Others who have so indussriously circulated
the report knew it, and as any one might
know by examining the record Of outstand-
ing city orders kept Jy The city treasurer.
How then do you account for the differ
enee between the amounts charged TO the
several appropriations and the amount paid
ont By the treasurer ?
In the first place the collector Of taxes
paid out s6lOO7O on highway, bridge and
sidewalk rolls of accounts which were
charged against their respective appropria-
tions at the time, for which he (the collector)
failed to get an order on the treasurer be-
fore the settlement, and consequently that
amount did not show III the treasurer's ae-
count. Then there were abatement orders
for S551 .33. and commissions on collections
for 1888. sS461 16 for which no orders were
drawn on the treasurer and consequently
did not appear in his account. These three
items. therefore. amount to sI49S.19. which
