RoHr& Ccmpany W: MAYOR'S MESSAGE - Continued from page 4 the payment made in the year end na March '03 and '04 took up the warrants '.sued partly in the year 1896 and up to and including th year 1900 with accum ulated interest amounting to $6446.01. The $42,000 issued against th general fund in 1892-'95 and '94 were finally all paid early in 1901, and the issues of 189S and part of '96 were paid by the close of the year 1 902. The total inter est paid on the warrant against th gen eral fund from the year 1892 till March 1904, twelve years in all. amounts to $26080.40 according to the treasurer's books. It is not only the amount of in terest the city has paid, but the amount it has lost on account of depreciated warrants and discounts.' '' - " v Your present Mayor is free to admit tSat hevmade a clear profit of 6 1 on La Grande warrant in a year and hall's time or 54 per annum. What 1 did by speculating in La Grande city warrants you will find to have been the case with many others. ,' During the economical years of the City administration from the years 1899 to 1900, 6 years inclusive, the salary list of city officers ran from below $2000. to not overS 2500. oer vear. After this time commencing 1901 the salary imt gradual ly advance to $3500.,' $6000. and to $7000. per annum and bids fair this year to reach $8000. The expenses all along the j line are advancing with very little more incoire than we had three years ago in the general fund. Our interest charges alone will amount to $6400. per year. There is only one out-come to Increase of indebtedness where ample provision has not been made for sufficien r i ue, and tht t is an In crease of burdensome taxation. We have suggested very, extensive improvements and axtention but before any extensive operations are entered in to w better ascertain the source of our income and probable expenditure. The people are willing to authorize the issurance of bonds for water works or sewer, if plane and estimates are made so they will know what the money is to be expended for and that the expenditure s economical, and that the desired results are to be obtained, You will remember that th City I ovr $39,000.00 farther in debt than It wa two year ago, and this additional interest charge hae to b mt, Th City' - general running expensss has increased three fold in five years while its revenues, except from direct taxation has not Increased, because certain mon'.hly fines and forfeitures are no longer collectable. With $28,000.00 outstan tngin the general fund and with the earn income we have had th last three year the time of payment on these warrant will gradually fall behind like they did in the issues of 1892-3-4. and th depred ation will be just as great unless provision is mad for their retirement by a general tax, by reducing the issue of warrant in th future, by bonding or other wit borrowing the money. Borrowing money from Tom, Dick or Harry on depreciated paper to run a City never looked good to me, when men with money to loan stand ready to loan it at a lower rate of interest than I paid on the floating warrante, and borrowing of the man who ha th money instead of the man who hasn't, give you th cash without discount. , I submit these matter and figure to you, and to the people of La Grande for your consideration, and whatever plan you propose to adopt that will produce the revenue without too much burden on the people, that will decrease the running expense, that will provide mean to carry out the proposed improvements recommended in my other message, I will gladly co-operate with you, but if we are to proceed without regard conse quence or expense and trust to "general results" 1 cannot consistently consent to running the city farther in debt unless ample preparation are made in advance, the fund provided, and the results as certain a we cap ever make of a fore cast of the future.
