ment OF a special tax and pay his other
taxes without murmur.
The city treasurer's books show more
delinquent taxes and judgments in
few years in which special assessments
have been made than the whole amount
OF delinquent general tax of the city, as
shown by the books of the county audi
tor.
If all the city's taxes were collected
by the county treasurer there would be
but few improvements that would re-
quire help from the current fund to
balance their ultimate cost, AS it is
now but few contracts for city improve
ments are ever finished with the pro-
ceeds of the special assessment made for
the purpose. The current fund in nearly
every instance is called upon to pay
considerable deficit.

1891, provide for board OF sinking
fund commissioners, of which the
mayor shall be president, the recorder,
secretary; and the treasurer, treasurer.
and the chairman of the committee on
WAYS and means shall be a member
These four shall constitute the board
Section of this chapter creates the
fund which shall be appropriated exclu-
sively to the purchase of bonds issued
by the city. The fund shall consist of
the surplus remaining in the treasury
at the end of each fiscal year after the
payments are made, or of appropriated
amounts set aside for payment of
either principal or interest on bonds
issued by city.
The proceeds of all delinquent tax
es levied for same purpose, and the
council are required to levy not to ex-
coed two mills on dollar OF the as
sessed valuation, which money as fast
as received shall be placed to the
credit of such fund. The monies so
received may be invested in outstand-
ing bonds of the city, at par value, In
state or United States bonds.
All warrants against this fund shall
be paid by the treasurer upon the or
der of said board, or any three OF
them the Recorder being one I'M
der seal of the city.
The board shall meet on call OF
mayor, or any two members thereof,
and once year they shall render to
the council a detailed report OF the
proceedings of said board.

do find however, that the council have
from time to time in general session
when making the annual tax levy ap.
propriated amounts to this fund, and al
end of fiscal year, 1892, the surplus re-
manning in hands of treasurer was or

which fund on April 1st, 1885, had to
its credit $19.04S.55, at which time
$40, 612.42 was used to pay certain rail-
way bonds, and the balance of the
original issue were refunded. Since
this date the council have levied So, 900

This account, up to 1895, received q
credit of sufficient amount from the tax
levy to pay the interest upon the bonds
outstanding, which at this time amount
ed to 80, $4,000. But in the year 1895
no provision was made for the pay
ment of the interest, but the tax levy
was heavier than any previous year
amounting to $40, 600; by not levying

able to use all the money levied in pay

was in order to pay the interest on the
bonds they were obliged to borrow. If
the levy had been made for interest as
in former years the expenditures from
the current funds would have been cut
down $10.500 and the council would
hardly have borrowed funds to increase
the appropriated amounts for current
uses, but in the case of interest it be
came obligatory, and the expenses for
that year were necessarily increased
$40, 500. The taxpayer no doubt

we'll to his interests. This kind Of
legislation never works out as we'll as
it looks, and in the end does more harm
than good.
The result of leyying $40. 900 to please
the people and spending 100000 to
please the council is to have floating
debt of 100000, which will cripple the
Improvements of the city for some
years to come, unless the present coun-
Gil renew the obligations for consider
