Mr. Esteb's questions paved the way for

July. 1880, among other practical
things said, 1.-THE Sinking Fund Com
mission which expired by limitation
since my last annual message, has been
recreated with the same officers named,
and with the same pocers. The affairs
of the sinking fund are in most
desirable condition, and we will In the
future as in the past be able to ma
terially assist the general fund"
Mayor Downham in a message to
council, April 9, 1889, in making certain
recommendations said, referring Incl
dentally to sewers, shat subscription
that can be secured from the property
owners and tenants, adjacent to the
lines where sewers may be run, Will
very materially lessen the cost to the
city of proper sewer, and if the reve-
nues are used to create sinking fund
the amounts so received n used as
| judiciOusly as are tho funds set aside for me
|! redemption Of oar present bonded Indicted
ness, would soon become sufficient TO
reimburse the city for the cost of such
sewer.o
These men were all familiar with the
matters of which they wrote and talked
and naturally jealous of their reputa-
ton, had no intimationthat the sinking
fund affairs were not only lawfully,
| but correctly and economically adj
ministered. 1t is not necessary to
mention by name those comprising
| the finance committee and sinking
| fund commissioners at this time sue
cessful business men, it goes without
saying the custom oftheir predecessors
| is sufficient for them.
This article is already extended, but
| a few words more At meeting of
| the commissioners of the sinking fund
held September IA, 1891, Sill, 800. 90 in
interest bearing certificates were de-
stroyed-$15, 100000 bearing per cent
and 800, 10000 bearing 1855, the annual
interest amounting to 81, 1920 Had
the commissioners retained these GER
tificates six and one-half years longer
they would have had paid to them out
of the general fund $2s, 1890 to be
raised in the annual tax levy.
This iswhat the late Mayor CORTLAND
H. Smith meant, and he spoke the
words of prophecy when he said, 'and
we will in the future as in the past be
able to materially assist the general
| fund" and now we are told that "The
parties who have had the manage
| ment of ourfinancial affairsfor the past
twenty years have pursued policy
that has not been beneficial to the
interest of the city," The question of
the debt need not be touched on here
as it is before the finance committee
and sinking fund commissioners.
