While there how seems to be a fair probability that these suits w ill be decided 111 our favor, and thai during the coming year, I think l li ist sum cannot ye', lie fairly coimidcnd 11s an oll'sel oil our Indebted ness, The only other sources of revenue for the year me us follows: I'axes, estimated by tho re- colder 7,(s'.0 00 Licenses, intimated by the re.ordir 2,7.il) 00 Fines, (slluialed by the re corder I 'iO U0 Cash 011 baud (treasurer's report) SSM 1H1 o The Visi imis -Kugeiu! now pre sents a lively appi arm, 10 w ilh the C E deli elites I, ele.

While our income fium taxes, licen ses ami lines cannot be considered as asHcts to be applied to the permanent reduction of our debt; still, owing to our system of paying with warrants, and coll. cling laxs early lu the year, a decided temporary reduction ol the dehl and a considerable saving of Inter est may bu ellected. A you all know, we do not pay our current expenm with the cash received for taxes, but I mini w urraiits Irom mouth to month as hills are allowed. When funds ac cumulate as to Justify, a call for war rants is Hindu and the older one are paid and caucellsd. A the greater part of the taxes -are paid early lu the cur, the amount of outstanding war latits may bu reduced several thousand dolhti within the next month or iwo, though the constant issue of nsw war rants for expense will gradually bring I ho amount up again, so that It will bo about tho same at the end of the fiscal year. ll.-fore closing I think I may profita bly call your attention to a compailsoii of our climated Income and our fixed and estimated expenses. By reference to a table above It will bu seen that our revenue for the year will probably bu about 110.038,1)15. Out of this must bu paid the fixed charge of the city, icli as light and water bills, salaries allowances to fire (leparimunt, etc., amounting to $'1,37.00; luterest on .uwer bonds, ?l,0.j,1 OU; Interest 0:1 out .lauding wai ranis, (est.) (SO0.00; mak ing a total of S,l:).5i). In addition to tills there will be cer tain contingent expenses that cannot be estimated very correctly, ueh as for wood, supplies for prisoners, piloting, etc. Last year this Item amounted to tl, 7:i '.10. This includes one Item of C'i0d.n) for new ho.e for the tire depart lie lit. As 110 new hose will be needed this year, that Item will not need to a pear In next year' account. Tbeie Is also Included the very small sum of t-..i til for lutnla-r, u-ed In street work. Our lumber bill for this yearwlll ctr tainly need 1 1 b,' much higher.
