The total cost of the city treasurer's Office il
only s455 a month, two out of three deputies
receiving but $50 each from the city, leaving a
balance TO be made up at the spasmodic action
of the council from month to month. The
county treasurer's statement shows that the re-
ceipts OF his office last year were 1854, Just
one-haH the amount received by the city treas
urer, and he is allowed s571 month. For two
or three months past he has also had extra
clerical help.
Besides the additional amount of money over
last year the system of bookkeeping has been
entirely changed. Mr. w. l. Ames has opened
an entirely new set of bookes and the contrast
~estween tnein anu those OF previous treasurers
is very striking. For years, also, the assess
merIt rolls used TO lie around, handled and re-
handled till they were worn 70 tatters. He has
had these nearly all copied into substantial
volumes and they now form permanent and
almost indestructible records.
The work for the ensuing year is now being
laid out and the taxes. due on November l, are
being collected There were formerly three
rolls, now there are five. The tax levy for this
year is ~ mills on the following valuation:
