CoEaea Of the City Of Seattle Your
committee respectfully report that they
employed Mr.. +. Shepard to assist the
City Clsrk in balancing the various 60
csosts. as yell az the City treasurer
books. The work done was a very
tedious undertaking from the fact that
the accounts have been raining for
several years without having been bal
anced. The manner in which the book 9
will be kept hereafter will assist your
committee in verifying the rreasorer's
report, which under the former system
vas almost an impossibllity.
We herewith submit the report of our
City Clerk, and recommend the sugees-
ton of striking OF the books the sun
dry balsoces, a. they are of no value to
the city and ought not to have been on
the ledger. We would also recommend
the pay mept out Of tine city fnbd the
following warrants: No. IL. CONNER
cial street grade fund, Ordinance l67.
$37664; No. 404. Cherry street grade
fund Ordidance 39j, $3.50; No. GO,
Columbia street Improvement, Ordi
nance 476. $25 IS; No. AIS. Spring street
improvement, Ordinance $40. $l&75 :
No. 6e9. Spring street Improvement, Or
dinsnce 40. $725; Nos. 2, 8. 4. 9, s. Is.
Sc, SO and 81, Front street grade. $50 3
Oar reasons for making this recommeu-
dalton are that these are balances due
from the city which bear interest at the
rate Of 10 per cent. per aunuD, and the
city has idle funds in the treasury. By
oiiing these warrants in the city will
save paying interest. Some Of these
warrants are outstanding since 1876.
and seem to be balances incurred over
and above taxes collected, although
there are no delinquent taxes on these
funds. We would also ask until next
regular meeting to complete the report
on funds on hand in the treasury. Re
specially, ]. FURTH. Chairman,
W. A. HARRINGTON.
