additional expenses not provided
for in the mayors estimate, and
it becomes necessary to borrow
money to meet these bills. The
money paid out on cement walks
comes under this heading. It is
true that the property holders
are compelled to eventually pay
for the sidewalks, but the city
gives them two years in which to
do this. The contractors, how
ever, can not afford to wait for
their money, and in order to pay
them for their work as soon as 1t
is completed, the city often finds
it necessary to borrow money
from the local banks. There is
now due the city from property
holders on sidewalks, which have
already been laid about S6, 600,
and this sum will probably be
collected next fall or early in the
winter, the law prescribing that
it shall not be paid later than the
1st of February, 1907.
OF course it is understood that
the current expenses of the city
have nothing whatever to do with
the issuance of bonds. The as
sessed value of taxable property
in Colum bus is in round mum bers
about So, ,000,O00 and under the
law she is entitled to issue bonds
not exceeding ten per cent of
that sum, which would be $780,
10000. AS stated above, the bond
ed Indebtedness of the city is
now S214,OOO, and by issuing the
bonds in the sum of $50, 900, as it
is proposed to do. we will still be
within the limit of the law, but
at the same time it is but just
that the people should be made
acquainted with the exact state
of the city's finances before vot-
ing on the question, and this was
the object in view in publishing
this article.

THE ClTY'S FINANCES
RecapituIation of Munich :
nal Funds Furnished
by City Treasurer.


improvements is being discussed
the present state of the city's j.
nances is a matter of great inter
est to the people. and with the
view of giving the public all the
information possible regarding
the matter a DISPATCH represen-
tatiye sought out Mayor Gunter
and asked him for the official fig
ures. Mayor Gunter referred
the reporter TO City Treasurer
Wad0ell, who kindly gave him
all the information in his posses
sion regarding the matter.
AS is we'll known 30 all readers
of this paper, the city now has a
bonded Indebtedness of S21S, 900,
and with the additional 500, 900
which it is proposed to vote for
internal i'm improvements the total
bonded Indebtedness would be
S278,O00. In addition to this
there is a deficit of $40, ,699. A in
the water and sewerage account.
For some reason the waterwOrks
have never paid, and every year
since the system was installed
there has been a deficit of from
one to ten thousand dollars in
the account. 1t is claimed, how
ever, that as an Offset for this de-
ficit the city gets the free use of
1O5 fire hydrants, which if paid
for at the rate of 5000 each, the
average sum paid by cities
throughout the State, would
amount to $5, ,775 90 per annum.
The report also shows that dur
ing the period that the water
works have been ia operation the
sum of S14,617. 40 has been eX
pended in permanent improve
ments, and that if this sum to-
getber with the estim ated cost of
the rental of the 1O5 fire hydrants
was subtracted from the total
that a good profit would be
shown. Be that as it may, though,
the full amount for improvements
has been charged to the water
and sewerage account, while the
estimated rental of the fire by
drants has not been (radite d;
the account as it now stands
shows a deficit of more than ten
thousand dollars.
Up TO the first of January,
just past, the city was carrying
over drafts amounting TO total
of about $4,000 at the different
local banks. These drafts have
been paid in full within the past
thirty days, the money for their
liquidation having come from
city taxes and other legitimate
receipts of the city marshal's of
fee. This official has turned
over so City Treasurer Waddell
about 50, 600, which represents
his collections during the past
month, and this together with
the sum collected during the
month of Decem ber was suffic
iently large to pay off the over
draft and leave a balance of about
Sc, 500 on baud. The city treas
urer states, though. that while
the city now has balance to her
credit on the general fund. that
it will become necessary to again
overdraw this fund before the
expiration of the present year.
AS it is we'll known. the city de- |
rives the largest portion of it's
revenue from the collection of |
taxes. and as these taxes are |
nearly all paid during Decemb Der.
January and February, the mu-
nicipal Golfers are more abuund- |

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in Ali
the Leading Stocks.

New York, April G.-Money on call loan
ed at 81 per cent. on the Stock Exchange
today, thus keeping up the tendency OF a
progressive rise in the maximum for each
day of this W eek. The excess over yes
terday'S 80 per cent. rate, however, as is
seen, was only nominal The Stringency
of the day was over before the period
at which the furry had occurred on pre-
viOuS days of the week. This was due Ill
large part to the fact that nervous bor-
rowers were prompt to supply their needs
rather than wait until late in the day, in
fear that rates by that time would be
higher even than yesterday, and the sup
ply Of available funds reduced to mar
row proportions. There was sharp re-
lapse in rates in the latter part OF the day
when borrow erS' needs were supplied and
a remnant of funds left on hand unplac-
cd. Stocks came more freely upon tn.
market early today than any time this
week, the early flight in the call loan rate
arousing apprehension or still SeVerel'
conditions before the close. But the mar
ket made a strong recovery when the call
loan rate ran eff and the most urgent
necessities We're seen 10 be filled.
Some Of the heavie Il nd.rg in the mar
