The Clerk read as follows:
TIE REPORT.

To the Hon. Mayor and Council:
GENTLEMEN: In conformity with sec
tioa 4 of the ordinance entitled IAN Ordi'
nance TO keep the disbursements of the City
of Wheeling within the limits of It's reve-
nues," your JOINT Standing Committee on
Finance reports, that it has prepared and
submits with this report the annual appro'
p~risrion ordinance.
Your committee has expended q great
amount OF labor and care to perfect said
ordinance, and to apportion to the severs!
departments the amounts necessary for the
successful operation of the same. 1t finds
the financial condition Of the city in much
better shape than in former years, and thinks
that it has accordingly supplied each de-
partment with the necessary funds for
their successful operation, and suggests
that though the appropriations are liberal,
economy nevertheless should be exercised
in their disbursement.
The amounts asked for by each depart
ment have not been to any extent disturb
ed, except the Department OF City Prison,
ia which the compensation Of two gusrda
or watchmen is dispensed With. This de-
partmeut has grown disproportionstely to
what was intended when first established.
The economical management of institu-
! tons of this character has been the subject
of much legislation throughout this coun
try. AID unless a careful watch is kept
abuses wi | creep in which will cause an i'm
mense drain upon the treasury OF the mu,
nicipalty. The ordinance under which our
City Prison is operated did not contem'
plate, when it was passed, the present
expensive management prevailing; that is
to saw, a cost of hfty,six cents Per day for
the keeping Of each prisoner, or at the
rate of $3.50 per month.
The ordinance does not clearly define
the duties Of the officers Of said depart
ment, or limit the number thereof, and the
keeping and feeding of prisoners is not
regulated by the same system OF economy
which prevails in institutions Of the same
character in other cities.
A tabulated statement of expenditures
of the City Prison, for the year 1885 is
herewith submitted:
