would state in relation to the above
estimate that it has been made from the
expences Of the present administration,
which are much less, as you know, than
the preceding one, with the exception of
interest and other matters which remain

less would suggest thai in taai
particular KY estimate is too los.
. sou have only done that whish
was actually necessary, and therefore
next years work in that direction will
will be necessarily more than my
estimate You will therefore see
that it will be necessary to make the
levy all that is allowed under existing
laws, viz; 10 mills, as the assessment
amounts to only about 81, 57S, 732, which
will at that levy produce $l5,7S7.
Levy produce ........... ...-.... .... l5,7s7

Licenses on trucks, expresses etc .... 500
Total .................. ...... 25,2s7
Expenditures as per estimate $27 ,408,
leaving deficit of $2,l2l.
would also recommend that the
whole amount OF taxes collected be put
into the general fund.- except what
may be required to always keep the
salary fund intact, which can be remedied
at any time by motion OF the council,
shonld il happen, which latter there is no
danger OF, as the saloon license will more
than take care of that especial fund. My
reason for this suggestion is that when
you have the several funds, and warrants
are drawn thereon and there being no
money in that fund, it cannot be paid out
OF any other fund or the general fund
and therefore we are paying interest on
those warrants, although there may be
plenty OF money in the general fund, or
some other fund which at the time could
be used to pay such warrants and there
by save the interest upon said warrants.
All of which is most respectfully sub
mitted. j. BARTHoDET, Jr.,
City clerk and clerk board of equalization.
At the session of the board on Friday
last, Councilman kngsbury introduced
the following resolution:
Resolved, That the west one half OF the
Capital addition and Blacks addition in
Ker's Villa lots be included in the
assessment of the present years levy.
OF course it was defeated, because its
success before the council would have
defeated the outrageous purpose of the
reorganizers in their desperate effort to
find cause for a special election. Council
men Kingsbury and Carpenter supported
the resolution, but Linee, Reed, Allen and
Kuechler defeated it, 1t would be we'll
for the taxpayers of the community to
note this fact
| City ATTORNEY MuraneS recommends
ton that the districts above named be
not included in the assessment for 1884,
was thereupon recalled and adopted.
On Saturday the board raised the stock
of the city banks to $66 per share. The
Northern Pacific railroad company was
assessed on two miles OF sidetrack within
the city limits, at s35, 900 per mile.
Louisa Baxter on Saturday filed a pro-
test against the proposition to omit the
the Capital, Blacks and Ker's Villa
lots additions from the assessment roll,
but Councilman Reed succeeded in in
ducing the board to ignore the protest.
The city clerk was granted assistance
in the work OF completing the assess
ment.
Councilman kingsbury moved to put
the surplus of the banks on the assess
ment roll. Lost.
On Councilman Linee's resolution
each councilman and the mayor were
allowed s day for actual attendance a
the session OF The hoard Of equalization

effect that Blacks subdivision ant
