The herald., 1894-08-31
The total assessment rolls, after all
BIZ the board Of eQualization,

corrections by the board OF equalization,
amount to SAT 1896. l65.
In the calculations for the interest and
sinking funds we have made q small de-
duction from the assessment rolls to
avoid all double aud improper assess-
ments.
The total levy for the interest and
sinking funds 10 26.7l cents in the 500.
While this is an increase OF 6.68 cents
per $l00 over that levied for sinking
funds for the Gsoal year 1S93.94, it must
be remembered that Of the amount
raised for the internal sewer interest
and sinking fund for the fiscal year
1S93.94, s26. 800 was provided from funds
on hand at the time of making the levy
for that year, and not raised by tax levy.
The rate for the funds OF the city
other than sinking funds amounts to
93. 70 cents. This is decrease in the
amount of levy for the general funds of
SOL cents.
In addition to this we have provided
funds for the fire departments for the
purpose OF additional apparatus and the
equipment and maintenance OF the
same.
These figures will produce Q revenue
from the tax levy Of 1862, ,447. 8S, which
amout is $4,000 less than the amount
estimated by the auditor ii the amounts
reported in the outfall sewer fund,
$2S, 1000, and internal sewer fund, $40 900,
as "available cash." are deducted,
which we believe should be done, as
part of these amounts have since beon
used for the purpose for which they
were raised and it may be necessary to
use the balance, and il not 90 used they
should be transferred toward the pay
ment of the bonds from which they
were obtained.
While provisions for each department
are leaB than the department or audit
or's estimates, We believe they are sufi-
cient to maintain the several depart
ments If properly managed, and yet none
too large to meet the increasing demands
upon the city funds, and respectfully
recommend that this ordinance be
adopted.
