OF the city have been steadily on the
decline for the past few years, growing
less each year, on account Of the steady
reduction in taxable values, your COM
mittte copgsatulates each and every
member of the different city councils,
who have served the city during tho
period above referred to ard who have
given their efforts in SO shaping the
course of affairs as to mako the above
results possible.
Your committee would have been
able to have reported further reduc-
zion in the floating debt by about 81, 500
had it not been for tbs outbreak here
last spring of small pox, which assum-
cd epidemic proportions, and tho city
vas therefore forced to this extra ex-
pense in suppressing the same, which
We are pleased to say was successfully
accomplished and at ne greater ex-
pense.
Your committee extends to YOU, each
and everyone of you, our sincere thanks
for your efforts in carrying out our
numerous recommendations relating to
public expenditures, and now that the
Official duties OF this committee are
drawing to close, the only regret
which VIC have 10 express the severance
of those very pleasant official relations,
which We trust have at all times been
mutual, and while We hope will con-
tinue to exist down the pathway of our
private lives.

the annual report of Health Officer and
City PnJ oioian Of the city of Bruns-
wick for she year ending Dec 3lst.
1900, same being the record of the
vital statistics and san1tation covering
this period.
The year 1900 has been the banner
year with our city in point OF health,
presenting, as 1t does, the lowest death
rate of any year for the past 10 years.
During the year there has been no
prevailing disease of contagious or
infections nature excepting small pox,
which will receive mention in another
part of this report.
The stan dard OF health has been
high among all Glasses of our citiz.ns
ord tho da.th. bo-. hoon oh;. q -
among the old and ln6rm, and children.
1t is master of remark and a sub
iect for congratulation that death has
not visited ts merchant ola.. of our
citizenship and we note that there has
not been death recorded among this
class the entire year and that the
standar OF health has been remarks
bly, good.
The death rate for the year among
the whites has been 15 or Is to the

persons to the 1000 exclusive of ILL
born children in the latter class.

NEW COUNCIL GOES IN
THE OLD ONE COMESOUT

| Mrs. Mary A. Tucker against the city
therein mentioned, has been dismiss
by the court. But after its dismissal
the plaintiff filed another sult against
the city upon the same cause Of action,
which is returnable to the next term
of the Superior court of Glynu county.
This suit was q ed on the 4th day CT
December last, and claims damages in
the sum of 81 900, for injuries to her
property by reason of ineffective
drainage.
! Ihe case of w. s. Greene, Receiver
of the Brunswick Light & Water
Company, in the United States Circuit
court, which was mentioned in my
last report, is still pending under ue-
gotistIons for settlement Of all the
differences between your Honorable
body and his Company.
When the defalcation of Fl. Il. Har-
vey, as Treasurer Of the city, was dis
covered, as directed by your Honorable
body. l fled suit in the Superior court
of this county to set aside deeds of his
property made by Mr.. Harvey to mem
bers of his family and to have the
/, property placed in the hands Vt a
receiver Of the court. The receiver
was appo nted as prayed for, and the
case is returnable to the present D.
csmbsr term of the court, and will be
in order for fuaI decree at the ensuing
May term.
In addition to this suit, l hav filed
in the City court of Brunswick an
action against Mr.. Harvey to recover
the amoudt OF his shortage. This Was
done In order to get a quicker judg-
ment than could be obtained In the
Superior court. This case will be in
| order for judgment on the first Mon
day in February next. The time
having now expired which the United
States Fidelity and Guaranty Co. had,
under the terms of its bond, guaran-
teeing Mr.. Harvsy's fidelity, within
which to pay up its liability thereun-
der. 1 have prepared to file suit
against that Company for the sum of
| SIS, 900 90 the amount of its liability
under the said bond.
Despite the expression nof great
many opinions which 1 have heard to
to the contrary, it gives me pleasure to
say to your Honorable body, that, in
my opinion, you have coed cause Of
action against the Company and can
recover the full amount of Mr.. Har-
vey's shortage occurring since the date
Of the bond.

Investigated this matter in oonjuno-
ton with the Committee on Public
Works. We wege uuable to find tha,
the side walk was ever in an unsafe or
defeo i've condition. The Committee
requssted Messrs, Sparks & Twisty,
counsel for Mrs. WeIz, to let Mrs.
Wenz go to the point at which she
claims to have b,,'n injured, and show
TO them just where aod how abe was
hurt, but nay information 10 that
Messrs. Sparks and Twitty declined
the request of the Committee. This
case cannot be tried until the ensuing
May term of the court, but from my
own Investigations, and those Of the
Committee, l am convinced that the
suit 10 without merit.
10 addition to these matters of liti-
cation, l have trawn large number
of ordinances snd resolutions to be
passed by your Honorable body, and

number Of the Aldermen, numerous
opinions on matters Of law submitted
