THE TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT FRIDAY. MARCH 10, STATEMENT BY FINANCE COMMITTEE The Finance Committee of Common Council <of Tillam.iok < . desire at thia time to present to voters of Tillamopk City a- pl statement of faetn concerning present financial condition of tl City, and the necessity for calling special city election March IS. vote a >50,000 bond issue. The present outstanding - Indebtedness of the city at time amounts to appr ,>50,000. These warrants bear in terest at the rate of 6 percen annum. Of this amount about >25, 000 was issued for street im ments, and this amount with inter est will eventually be repaid to th« city, as the result of sale of prop erty taken over by the City. >25,000 was simply forced upon 1 city. The property owners in dif ferent parts of the city petitioned the Council for street improvements, which were granted by the Council and improvements made, but when it came time to pay for these im provements many failed to do so, or even to bond, with the result that the burden fell upon the city, ■ and we were obliged to issue war rants to cover the amount. The re maining >25,000 in unredeemed warrants, is a priceless heritage handed down by each succeeding Council for many years caused prin cipally by the failure of the Coun cil to provide a budget sufficient to cover the running expenses of the ■ City. In the preparation of a bud get it is difficult to meet all the conditions which arise, there are so many small items of expenses that are often overlooked, and even tho included in budget, are often under estimated, owing to increase in price, especially was this true dur- ing the past few years, with large increase in salaries and supplies purchased. We also that the unpaid special city tax for the past three years, amounts to >3,291.31 or about >1000 deficit in tax money each year. It is the policy of the present • Council to keep expenses within the budget estimate, and up to the present time this has been done and is seems likely that it will be .pos sible to keep well under the budget estimate during the present year. Practically all of the >50,000 in warrants have been cashed by the local banks and are held by them. This imposes a considerable burden on the banks, and they cannot be expected to continue to pay city warrants unless some measures are taken by the city to redeem them. The special election March 18, is for the purpose of authorizing the issuance of >50,000 of bonds bear ing 6 percent interest, the proceeds to be used to redeem the >50,000 in warrants, bearing the same rate of Interest. This will add nothing to the tax burden which is already too or twenty years.
