clerk, license tax collector and treas urer. As collector of property tax the marshal is paid two per cent on collec- tiOns, and up to the present time he has received the munficent sum of fourteen dollars for his work in that line. Yet the "kickers" have indus triously circulated the false and mali ciOus statement that the council pays twenty-five per cent of it's entire reve- nue for collecting taxes, and, for want Of correct information many good citi- zens and taxpayers have believed them. Beside the fourteen dollars he has re- ceiyed for collecting property tax, the marshal has been paid fifty cents for each dog killed. The revenue from the dog tax about equals the marshal's fee for killing.
 Another mountain made out of a molehill by the "kckers" is the salary Of fifty dollars month paid Tucson lawyer for services as town attorney. When the only lawyer in the town joined the "kickersr the council had to send to Tucson or elsewhere for legal advice But the "kickers" say the at- toruey should be hired when needed. only, and save the continual drain of a salary. That was proposed doing at the time the council engaged Judge Wright But he wanted s350 for each suit. As there have already been two suits the taxpayers can see that the salary system adopted by the board for payment of the town attorney, gives the town Judge Wright's able services an entire year for one hundred dollars less than the case system, advocated by the kickers, would have cost to date Beside that the council has had the benefit or Judge Wright's valuable counsel and advice in various minor matters, all of which would have cost additional money under any but the salary system.
 Up to the present time the revenue of the town has been as follows; From Property Tax sl02lO0 l" Licenses 6l30O

to the indebtedness Of the general fund However there is due the town for taxes advertised as delinquent and li- censes unpaid for which judgments have been rendered, to the amount of s6l9.9l. This amount will shortly be realized and paid into the treasury. Even without it the town is close to cash basis. The sums due the town from license suits are as follows.

With the amount above shown due paid in all outstanding accounts would be paid and there would be in the treas ury cash surplus of s577l5-a sum nearly sufficient to pay the regular expense of the town government an entire year.
 Office room, lights, etc., have been furnished by the clerk without charge. AS hereinbefore mentioned, the ex- pense to which the town has been put to employ an attorney would have been entirely unnecessary but for the hostile attitude of few, and it can be clearly shown what would have beeh the of cost maintaining the town government had it. not been forced into unnecessary and costly litigation and had there been no necessity for pro- tection against small pox and diph- theria. Against the town the former we hope will not be repeated, and we trust the latter will miss us for sev- eral years to come, the council, by it's prompt and thorough action, having eradicated the diseases, no case having been reported in the past six weeks-as 1 have stated in another place in this communication. Had we not encountered the draw backs noted the actual running ex- pense of the town would have been as follows:

 Total.... s5OOO s6OO.OO The above financial statement is not a balanced account, but is approx imately close, and will vary but very little from the treasurer's report, which will be given the last of the month: but it will serve to give the public correct idea of what would be the ordinary running expenses of the town without uncommon obstruc- tions in the way.
 And in closing 1 wish to call partic- ular attention to the fact that good portion of the expenditure herein set forth was to pay town debts incurred previous to the work of the council as at present constituted.
 Respectfully submitted,
 F. HERRERA, Mayor.
