tons of the past two months for
which there have been no appropiia'
tons. aggregate more than $4,000,
and the expense OF constructing street
crossings and bridges now authoriz.
ed, will amount to about 1900. After
deducting the balance on hand in the
general fund, the Indebtedness of the
city up to date. including authorized
expenditures, will amount to about
$22, 900. II we deduct this sum from
the estimated tax income, 1t will leave
about $4,000 available for the pay
ment of salaries and of expenses
which will be incurred for the bal
ance of the year.
In view OF the situation | would re-
commend that the strictest economy
be exercised in every department. The
law contemplates that cities shall do
business upon cash basis and the
administration of the affairs of the
city should be carried on upon that
theory. Some months ago, recon-
mended that economy be practised in
the city's affairs, but the suggestion
seems TO HAVE BEEN UNHEEDED,
and the prospects are that Logan City
will be in worse financial condition
at the end of the year than It was at
the end of the preceding year, unless
a policy OF retrenchment is instituted
! may say that am in favor Of pub.
lie Improvement, but think expendi-
lures for this purpose should be in
keeping with the financial affairs of
the city and | am not In favor OF a
policy which will exhaust all of the
city's revenue and leave deficit at
the beginning of next year. Within
the last two or three years we have
expended vast sums of money in the
construction of sidewalks and street
crossings and in this respect | think
the expenditures have gone as far as
the present condition OF the city will
justify, and therefore recommend
that the construction of sidewalks i'm
sidewalk district No. 20 be postponed
until another year. The construction
of sidewalks in this district will en-.
tail a large expenditure for building
street crossings and thus contribute
toward deficit, In this connection |
may say that from representations
made to me, it would seem that II
would be advisable to segregate Dis.
trict No 20 into several smaller dis.
tricts. and | submit this proposition
for your consideration.
1t has come to my attention that
there are large sums of money, ag.
$1,000 which are due for
electric light service. Prompt and Wig.
orous measures should be adopted for
the collection of these accounts, and
II necessary special collector should
