will Not Garry Over To Next Year
Any Unpaid Bills.
Much Permanent Work
Has Been Done.
Bonded Interest Account Has
Been Greatly Reduced.

At the end of the present municipal
year unless something out OF the ordinary
occurs, like great coniiagration or
psstilence. TO require large expenditure
Of money which has mt been anticipated
every outstanding obligation OF the city
excepting the bonded debt Will navs been
paid and the incoming city government
will md o clean slate with which to
commence business. While It Is true that
a few appropriations have been exceeded
there are others which have not been ex.
ren1ed and by the usual transfer oil
money from one appropriation to another
all the hills will be paid. when IL is un-
derstood how great have been the de-
mands made upon the city government
during the past year, how large the liked
charges were whioh had to be paid any
way and how little money the city gov
ernment really had that was available
outside OF the liked charges, the record
which the outgoing administration has
made is most prsiseworthy one.
At the commencement OF the financial
year last April the city was confounded
with the fact that the amount to be
raised to meet the actual fixed charges OF
the city, that is the sums which had to
be appropriated was $Sl1. .375 81. These
fixed charges represented the stated ex-
penses of the city which vary but little
from year to ysar.To carry on the big ma
chine and keep the municipal wheels
running at all the above sum is yearly
required or a sum approximate to 1t.
This SSH, 1913 "a then represented the de-
mands which had to he met. The taxes
amounted TO S956, 7l9 ~ leaving available
from the taxes sl45, ,S45 75 to which should
be added Sl29, 3a6 6s, the estimated In
come, leaving $214 4,6T2. 43 as working
capital Or in other words out OF this
amount provisions must be made to NEST
all expenses OF tina departments such as
improvements, work upon the streets,
new sidewalks, new buildings, new ap-
parst us, alterations of buildings, rerma-
nent work OF all kinds, repairs and
similar demands. with this sum avail
able a great deal has been accomplished.
In the public buildings alone a great deal
of work has been done, new school houses
built, others changed over and altered
and much permanent work and many re-
pairs made No nublio buildings COM
mittee on record has ever made better
showing than has this one which ends It's
labors this spring.
The closing of this financial year will
find all bills in every department ready
for payment, and no outstanding bills
contracted tn year will have to be
carried over for future payment. In
short, the present city goyernn ens have
net all of their obligations, with the
amounts provided for them during the
year closing March II, 1901.
In addition TO the above, the gross city
debt has been reduced this year $4,000

account reduced about $4,000 and tbs
