Condition of tho City Treasury

From the books Of the City Treasurer
we find that the financial condition of
the City government is good. AS mat
ter of interest to our readers we publish
below the report of the City Treasurer
for the fiscal year ending August 18th,
though it is somewhat condensed from
the original. We congratulate the City
on the good showing made, especially as
the largely decreased revenue from liquor
licenses caused by the dispensary law
has not seriously, if at all, embarrassed
the treasury. In that respect Anderson
is much more fortunate than some of her
sister cities, as some of them have had
to adopt various expedients to raise funds
to meet current expenses. The report is
as follows:
Jno. K. Hood, Treasurer, in account
with the City OF Anderson for the fiscal
year ending August Is, 1888:
