How Are the Finances of the City
Managed? 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

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
