OF CITY Commission
IS LAUDED IN AUDIT
Retirement Of Building and
WaterWorks Bonds Is Praised
BY Accountants

Business judgment of the city COM
nlissioners was praised in the annual
audit of the books and accounts of the
city for the last fiscal year by Will
liam Schantz and Bruce Murphy, cer-
titled public accountants. Retirement
of bonds of the World War Memorial
building and Waterworks department
was especially commended.
The action Of the city commission
III purchasing special assessment war
rants and other evidences of indebt-
edness Of the city and placing them
In sinking and special assessment
funds was praised. This transfer of
assets from low interest bearing Ger
tificates of deposit to higher interest
bearing obligations is commendatory
and where practicable, should be con-
tinued," the report says.
Facts deducible from the audit,
which Is for the fiscal year ending
June 30. 1888, show that the affairs
OF the city are In excellent condition
and that the indebtedness of the city
has been materially reduced the last
year.
Value of municipal land and build
ings, exclusive of the water works
system, aggregated $2481o0. Bonded
Indebtedness outstanding against this
property is $4,000, which represents
the unpaid World War Memorial
bonds.

equipment was $481 ,44O.08. The out
standing bonded Indebtedness was re-
duced from 1851 900 to $3.50 900 during
the year, and the sum of $l5187.86
was added to the waterworks depart
ment sinking fund, thereby increas-
ing the general sinking fund from
$8s. 0l0.23 to $l04,19809, from which
Sill ,566.67 was set aside for a deprecia-
ton sinking fund. In view of the
