Gentlemen or the' Council: In accordance with my duties a your presid ing officer, I herewith submit for your consid eration the financial and general condition of the city. It affords me much satisfaction in saying to you that a a municipality we are in a healthy, prosperous condition financially and otherwise, and that while our friends in the Eastern State are just beginning to thaw out we have enjoyed two months of uninterrupted line weather, with all the beauties ( spring; and our little city and its surrounding hills are clothed in rich verdure and bedecked with beautiful flowers. The health is exceptionally good, a it generally is, when compared with other localities. For a detailed statement of the finances I would respectfully refer you to the report of the Treasurer, which show an aggregate re ceipts amounting to $6018 56. Total dishunie ment $5,430 84. Balance on hand 8587.72, with no indebtedness. There is still a delin quent tax amounting to about $351, some of which i not collectable. I will say in connec tion with this, there is no necessity for any de linquent at the end of the year if the collector will do hi duty, and the taxpayers should not feel hard toward the marshal fordoing his duty as required hy law. I say this in justification of the marshal, who sometimes incur the dis pleasure of those who are disposed to be tardy. The tax should be collected as promptly a powible and not suffer bills to go unpaid, There have been erected within the city the past year abuit sixty houses at the cost of about $100,009. An established grade ha been fixed on Willamette street from first to eleventh street and graded to it at cost of about S1500 to the piopeity holder and city, and now preoents a neat and fine apjiearance. The fire department and apparatus for ex tinguishing fire are well organized and in good condition. Three hundred feet of new hose have been purchased, so that we now have a sufficient length to reach any building. No fires have occurred within the past year, other than a few burning fine or bursting of lamps, so that our boys have bad but few op portunities to test their capacity; but I am satisfied it a fire occurs, we have a fire depart ment equal to the emergency. The streets and alleys ar in good condition fur th time of the year, and now that roads are in condition to haul lumber and gravel I have no doubt that the street committee will rc that they are all that they should be. Let us have good highways everywhere. The sewer and pond in tbe north side cf town is an eye-sore as well a a great deal of trouble to th committee in charge of it. I have no suggestion to offer further than that the mouth U kept open until th property owners can fill it np with an under drain, the m-de and manner of doing this I submit fur jotir consideration. It U with a K'xl deal of pride and satisfac tion that I refer to the good corals of th I tity. Although it i far from perfect, yet 1 1 think it will compare more than favorably with other towns. There were only fifty-four prosecutions made during the last year, and whin we enroider that w had on sevrl oeca ii us over tCk)0 transient people here attending tii shows, county fair within the limit ot th city, celebrations and political gatherings, I think the fact I remarkable and k well for the faithfulness and etticienoy of eur nolle force, and while we have the odvantat of th State University and good school buildings and th reputation of beincr on of tb most prosperous towns in the valley, we ought a a community do all we can to induce good acquisitions to our population, make it pleasant lor the stranger. Before closing permit me to refer to th peaceful character of the citf election just held. Althuuhgh considerable interest was taken, yet the day closed with good fellowship existing. To tlie out-going member of the council In behalf of the citiiena of feugene, 1 thank you for the ih. interested labors you have iierformeil, for many time you have had to neulect your own buines to attend to that of the city. To the newly elected member I trust that cur future deliberation will be equally a harmonious and tor the public weaL You have been assigned t committees accord linr to mv idea of your adaptability and con venience, and trust there will be no other though, entertained hy you and that matters referred to you will have your attention.

Suit wa Tutcday commenced in th United States District Court by the Dundee Mortgage and Trust Company against the following SherilTst J F Grover, of Polk county; V Kuight, of Clackamas; 8ul King, ofBeuton; OA Taylor, of Douglas; J R Campbell, ot Laue; Wm Martin, ot Uma tilla; B P Cornelius, ot Washington; J K Charlton, ot Lino; E B Cullard, of Yamhill! Thomas Jordan, of Mulluomah; S B Parrish, Chief of Police of tbe City ot Portland. For cause of action the plaiutiff first tet forth that it it a foreign corporation with headquarter at Dundee, 8ootland, and i th owner of a large number of promissory notes toenred by mortgages on real estate situated in the various couutiot of Oregon. It is further alleged that generally these note are mode pay tblo at Dundee, A num ber of loan were made before the paxsage of the mortgage tax law, and loau amounting to many thousand ot dollar have been mado mice. Undor the provision! of the mortgage tax the defendant! have assessed the following loam against plaintiff: Polk county, $96,4(18 89) Clackamas, $2, 727 94; Beuton, $48,686 21; Douglas, $28, 000; Lane, $44,735 64; Umatilla, $19,850; Washington, $3,940 60; Linn, $151,340 11; Multnomah, $118,200, City of Portlaud, $95,900.

That each of the dofuiuhot have warraut iu their hand for the collection of taxes on said assessments. If these are told at de linquent it will cloud and greatly impair plamtilfs title to said mortgages. For vari ous reasons let forth in tho complaint it it claimed that the mortgage tax act uuder whioh these assessments are made by de fendants is unconstitutional. Plaiutiff urges that at other property it taxed at one-third of itt actual value, mortgages should be treated in a like manner. Wherefore for the ressou above set forth a writ of injunc tion it asked for, which the plaintiQ prayt may be made perpetual; that the conititu tiooality of the law may be passed upon, and tuch othir relief grauted a the Court may comuler just and equitable.
