A statement OF debts due by the city
on all accounts directly or indirectly con-
nected with the improvements amounts
20 S6.4o4. 4.o4. This statement includes
some items which the city will probably
be called upon TO pay. as for instance,
claim Of George Jewell for nearly 81, 900
due him on account of the difference in
the price at which he did the city work,
81 o5 per square yard, and the price at
which he did the State work, 81 or per
square yard, which amount we hope will
be provided and paid for by the State
OF Maryland. =
There are also certain other sums in
cluded in the statement OF debt above re.
tered to which may be either reduced or
else paid for otherwise than by the city,
but even supposing that the city would
be obliged TO pay the whole sum of
sc. .4o4 .o4 above mentioned, we would
have applicable thereto $2,2S84s, which
would leave still due by the city s4.II5 So
Ii the sum OF S. o7o above referred to is
set apart to make improvements mention
ed in the ordinance not vet undertaken,
there are two items which will never be
done. namely, the paving of Hanover
and King George streets, because one of
these streets will be taken into the Naval
Academy, and the other one will abut on
the Naval Academy property and will be
paved by the Government, so that on
this account there will be available to
the City the money which would have
otherwise been spent on these streets,
namely $4,000 which, when applied to
the aforesaid balance of debt, would re-
duce the same to $I,3I5 So.
If Mr.. Jewell's claim should be paid
by the State as above suggested, it would
leave only about $500 to be provided for
by the city, which could be easily put in
the general levy, or if it was not consid.
cred advisable 10 include anything in the
general levy, there would be srill left
81, ,27o in the fund now held for the other
improvements mentioned in the ordi-
nance, and il these Improvements should
not be made the possible balance OF in
debtedness could be paid out OF that
money and leave us still S754.4I, with
which further TO increase the sinking
fund. The Committee now reports and
recommends to the joint body as follow S.:
Ist. That we Immediately set aside the
sum of S5.e7e for the Improvements men
toned in the ordinance not yet under
taken, and
and. That we Immediately pay into
the sinking fund in accordance with de-
cision OF the Circuit Court for Anne
Arundel County, s8.55I.o3, and
3rd. That we Immediately proceed to
ascertain as near as may be the exact
balance OF indebtedness due by the city
on account OF the Improvements made
and the various expenses incident thereto,
and that we proceed to pay out the bal
ance, s., ,288.45, on account of the debts
already contracted for and not fully paid,
and TO such expenses incurred in conuec-
ton Herewith as in the judgment of the
Joint Finance Committees may be Deem
ed best, and
4th. That no further payments be made
and that no part OF the said sum OF
s. ,o7o De used tor any other purpose
than that specified in the ordinance until
due authority shall be granted to this
body either by the Legislature OF Mary
land or by repeating the ordinance by the
Mayor and City Council of Annapolis.
