Mayor’s Annual
I,
Financial Report m
l op
That
Cough
In reviewing the past year a con
spicuous achievement is the com
pletion of our gravity water sys
tem, preliminaries for which were
started in 1919. The work is now
j complete, giving the city o f Mon-
j mouth a supply o f pure mountain
| water. We are gratified to state
the cost was about two thousand
dollar under the est’ mUed cost
for which bonds were voted. The
task of paying for the system is
now well under wry, the collect'ons
now averaging monthly from $515
t>$550 and this, with the special
tix , will care for the indebtedness.
During the past year we have also
made a decided effort to improve
the city streets and with the aid^of
funds on hand feel that we have
made a good start.
Although the city departments
show indebtedness, the finances of
the city are now in such shape
that it ran not only l e self s, p
porting, but can cut down the oi t-
standirg warrants and I urge con
servatism in ali departments that
♦his may be accomplished.
