necessarily be higher next year, and
who is responsible for such 4 status;
1t is claimed that ''the City Hall is paid
for" which, while true is still mislead7
ing, unless it is distinctly understood
that it has been paid for atthc expense
of other funds, and has put the city
seriously in debt, which debt may
Justly and properly be termed "the
City Hall debt"
In this connection, we desire to say
that the retiring City Treasurer has
amended his published statement by
adding certain items included in other
accounts to the cost of building the
City Hall, increasing that item from
S9,766.16 to S10,434.97, but that in
crease does not increased the figures giv-
en- under the head of "assets" in that
statement. This sum will be further
increased by the bill of SIG presented
by the A. w. J.. & p. Co. for wiring
the building and by the cost OF the
chairs contracted for by the former
Council to be paid by present Council,
amounting to several hundred dollars.
The total cost of the Hall will be about
ST, 1000, the majority Of which was paid
out of funds otherwise appropriated,
and hence will have to be restored by
the present Council by borrowing same:
Each citizen may determine for himself
the wisdom of building the City Hall
in such IL manner, or the wisdom OF
building it ut all.
The above is the report in full of the
special committee OF City Council ap-
pointed to investigate the status OF
finances of the city ut the time OF pres
ent Council going into office, which
report was, in special session, adopted
and ordered published.
