LOCAL INTELLIGENCE,
THE CITY DEBT.

Some Figures Furnished by the Funded
Debt Commissioners.
In his remarks before the meeting at the
Courthouse Monday evening, when the
subject of the necessity of new city char
ter was under consideration, ex-senator
Booth said: In September, 1886, the Board
of Trustees appointed committee to in
yestigate the city debt. They reported the
debt and coupons to be 81 800 600 A year
later they reported the debt to be 81, 430, 900.
On the 10th of September, last year, we
made an examination of the books, and we
ascertained the debt to be 81, 337 900. Now,
that is reduction of $4,000 per annum
under our present system of government.
The bonded debt is not a bugaboo We
have to contribute $4,000 into the sinking
and interest fund each year. From the
best calculations we can make this entire
bonded indebtedness can be paid off inside
of ten years, leaving the city with lis water
works, which are worth million of dol
lars, and we will be in better condition
than any other community in the State
Los Angeles, Oakland and Stockton are
now trying an experiment with new char
tiers. We cannot get one inside of two
years or eighteen months from this date
and in that time we will be in better con-
ditiGn to talk about a new charter than
now. He said the following figures were
taken from the trial balance of the Funded
Debt Commission's ledger, and showed how
much of the debt was held by them:

Az ILLEGAL CHARGE AcA1Ssr rmE COUNTY.

Second = The question propouuded TO
the Court as to the demand of W.
W. Rhodes must be answered Ia the
negative. His demand was for extra
services as Deputy County Clerk in esnvassing
the election returns and In preparing and eerti-
tying the result to the Secretary of State. There
is no doubt that he earned all that was paid
him. but such services were not charge against
the county They were a charge against his
principal only this concu sion follows from the
principles before stated. The same answer
must be given as TO the demand of f. +. John
ston. the County Auditor. section 1898 OF the
Political Code, under which he claimed and re
ceived the amount of the demand, was -pealed
by the County Government Act by implication,
as are all the provisions Of the Political Code
which provides for fees or other compensation
to salaried officers.
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1889-02-06

AS a condition precedent to the services of any
deputy becoming charge against the county
there must have been, first. a showing by afhda-
Wit that an additional deputy is necessary
second the Beard must have been of the opin-
ion upon such showing that the salary was in
sufficient 10 pay reasonable compensation
third, the Board must have allowed or author
lied the appointment, and must have fixed the
amount of salary not 10 exceed 500 per month.
Therefore IL is only services rendered by q dep
uty, appointed after these conditions have
transpired. which are a charge sgainst the
county. aud the Boa.d of Supervisors have no
authority TO allow any claim which is not a
legal charge against the county.

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1889-12-21

The New York house of the famous
Methodist Book Concern, lO5 feet on
Fifth Avenue and 10 feet on
Twentieth Street, is one of the finest
business buildings in that great city.
1t is 100 feet high and is built of brick
and granite, costing, all told, about a
million of dollars.
The present building is the sixth
occupied by the Methodist Book Con-
Germ since its establishment in New
York in 1904. The various buildings
form fitting commentary on the in
creasing wealth of the institution.
The new building will be formally
opened on February ,, 1890, in con
nection with the annual meeting of
the Book Concern. The growth of the
Book Concern has been remarkable.
1t is the Oldest organized auxiliary
agent of Methodsm in the United
States. The Methodist Episcopal
Church took an organic form in 1874 at
the Christian Conference. Eve years
later the Book Concern was established
in Philadelphia by the Rev. John
Dickens, by order of the church, with
a borrowed capital Of 5000. 1t cele-
brates, therefore, its centennial.
From that insignificant beginning the
Book Concern has grown until it has
now branches in most Of the principal
cities of the country, with annual
sales from the books and papers
amounting to more than 100, 900.
Since 1886 the concern has made a
clear profit Of 81, 000,O 900, in addition to
which it has paid $2,O0O,0OO to the
various departments of the church by
order of the General Conference. That
is a business record Of which any
house might be proud, and which is
particularly pleasing to the large num-
Der of Methodists in the United States.
