council of 1900 claims a credit Of SIS, 900
for. but which will not amount to over
$S,OO0.00 il as much, for the reason that
a large part of this amount has already
been collected by the council OF 1900, as
per receipts shown by many persons
upon whom demand has been ade; and
in many instances taxes on personal
property have been assessed against
persons who have been non-resideuts of
the city for years, and This amount has
been brought forward and added to from
year to year. Again there are two exc
cutions against the Hoyt Hardware Co.,
1894 for $256. 90 and 1896 for $255,OO.
aggregating $511 90. Why this amount
was never collected, your committee is
at loss to understand, for this company
had funds with which to pay the execu-
tion', even while in the hands Of Re-
ceiver this company had several thous-
and dol ars on deposit in one of the city
banks. Ii seems that the marshal who |
had these executions for collection,
should be responsible, and his bondsmen |
should be held flr the amount. The
claim against the defaul ing treasurer,
which is supposed to bs s2l, $50 81, and
which amount the Finance committee
Of the council Of 1900, has deducted
from the liabilities OF the city, as if it
was an available ssse,, is only worth
what can be collected out of it. The
oost of litigation, which may last for
years before settlement Is reached
will amount to large sum, and must of
necessity r. duce this cls very mate
rally; the city may receive somethir z
some day, but at present it is an un.
known ia tor, and cannot be utilized to |
pay pressing obligations. Time will
alone prove what this claim against the
ex-treasurer is worth.
Your committee is prepared to deal
with real, not imaginary conditions; we
are willing to assume and take the re-
sponsibllity of the real financial condi-
tion. an unfortunate legacy by the way,
but are not willing to assume an imagi-
nary conditions of affairs that shows the
city's liabilities oyer assets January 1901 |

this balance can be practically wiped |
out by the sale of property, which no
one would bid on when put up for sale

city to protect herself. II tLls property

of the last council recommend

q long time before this property is worth

owners would make some effort to

the taxes due, with interest. The Fin
