The Mayor read his annual message,
showing the following:
To the Honorable, the City Council of
Albany, Oregon:
Gmiuhh:-In obedience totherilv
chatter, 1 submit for your consideration
the general condition of the affaiis oi the
city as the same appears from the reports
of the officers, which w is submitted for
your consideration at the last regul ir
meeting of this body.
From these reports 1 find that the total
indebtedness of the city on the first day
In Januarv, alter deducting the cath in
the treasury, was as follows: Bonded
debt, (95,000: floating indebtedness,
(11,604; total anbt, lest rash in treasury
of (U0t, is (105.&04. This ir an increase
in the debt over lst, ear of 4.rtl.
This increase in the debt has in a
measure been caused by the building of
the Third street water supply line for fire
purposes, which has cost the diy (12J8.
The repairing of the enginea and appar
atus of tun fire department at a eo.t of
about (MX), and the rebuilding of the citv
ia l at an expense of (561.80.
The receipts of the city from taxes the
past year is (1000 less than the receipts
from the same source ior the year 1897.
The delinquent taxes now amount to
about (5500. The comparative state
ment of the current expentes ot the city
for the past year shows that tbe cost ot
maintaining the city affairs, was (2197
more than for 1897, while tbe receipts
from all vources wss considered lets than
that of 1897.
This and the increased expenses as en
umerated above is tbe cause of the lu
cres e of the city indebtedness.
The amount neceary to meet the
current expenses of the city for the en
suing year, is estimated about at follows :
Police department and city offi
cers (
Fire department
Street lighting
Sewer work and repairs
Printing and stationery
Mater rent
Meats for ci.y prisoners and va
