What is the Finan cial Condition of the City? Paid Adrcrtiscmcnt. In this article I wnnt it distinctly un derstood that I do not imply grnft, dis honesty, or even bad judgment lias been indulged In, but I.for one, would like to know a few things. What does It cost to run our city gov ernment? How is the money expended? What are the. receipts, and how and from what source arc they derived? Section 64, subdivision 12 of the city charter is very plain on the subject. It reads: "The recorder shall make quarterly statements to the council, showing the receipts nnd disbursements, and the state of each particular (mid at the close of business on the 15th day of March, the 15th day of June, the 15th day of Sep tember and the 15th day of December caclv. year. The report shall contain an accurate statement In summarized form and also in detail, of the financial receipt of the city from all sources, and the ex peiuliturcs ol the city, for all purposes together with a detailed statement of th debt of said city, of the purpose for which said debt has been Incurred, and of the property of said city, nnd of th accounts of said city with grnutccs of franchises, and also showing all franchis es then in effect, and the purposes for which said franchises were granted and the names of the present owners of such franchises, and said report shall be pub lished In the city official paper nt least once." Would any business man permit hi: affairs to-be conducted In n like manner and if he did how loi'g would it be be fore he would be h bankrupt? It has been told me that there arc yet unsettled claims against the city hall. I would like to know what the recorder's and city engineer's office cost per year. What doc the police department cost? What docs the fire department cost? How much back salary Councilman Doblc nnd other couucllmcri have comluu? How much is due1 viewers? and a number of other question too numerous to men tlon in thiiarticlc. All of which would be unnecessary If the council would run the city business In conformity with the charter. I the council afraid of being critl cited, or, why do they not publish such report? Two years ago I wrolc to 15 cities In Urcgon, wlioic population wa any where near or above that of St. John, Including Salem, Oregon City, Astoria, Pendleton, Ashland, Koscburg, Corvnl lis, LnCrande, I'.ugcnc and Albany, and St. John showed that it cost more to run the city government than any town in the state except the city of Portland. St. John had nt that time not to exceed 3500, while Oregon City, Salem nnd As torla had from 6,000 to 16,000, l'roni Information that I have at the present time the tame condition exist today. And (till, what are you going to do about It? P. HILL, 61R North Jersey.
