He said: Jpss
Following custom established by
my professor, / take this oppnEtu.
nifty of addressing you relativeotostasa
finances of our city. As you prbtalar
well know, we are confronted wislnriis
necessity of retiring an issue Of wa
ter bonds, falling due JulYJ D j ,fpa2,
amounting to 100000, which I under
stand cannot be refunded. ,In9dfItiqI
to this sum, there has been expended
since Jan. over $4,000, same hav-
ing been borrowed in antiabatf9H OF
this years taxes. The grand ffs FOR
1921 was about $7l 900, but,2oMIug 10

here, the amount of taxable efabitc sih
the stone sheds April wilt pf8bxftly
be considerably reduced. II a. flfefd-
fore, apparent that we cannot expect
our grand list this year to I'd as large
as in 1921. However, figuring on 4
grand list Of $4,000 and astax hate
of $4, there will be availabledfor the
city's use, exclusive of the school and
state tax, about Sl50,000, which sum
includes the income from the water
department. You will note by these
figures that there is the greatest need
for economy during the balance of the
year, if we are to succeed in keeping
within our appropriations. /, there
fore, wish to urge each member OF the
council to use the greatest caresih MFe
different departments, so there'Min sbe
absolutely no waste in the expendi-
ture of the city's money! vi
