the treasury at the close of the fiscal
year, the expenses of the city during
the year really exceeded the income
by about five thousand dollars. This
deficit for the year VIII be more than

doning the franchise of the Hampton

Quoting this extraordinary receipt, IL
appears that the city just about used

special appropriation to purchase
