INTEREeT ON A88B8811ENT8 I
One oC the acts of the last copncil'o
that we ebelieve will result in helping ~~
hnth the city end its property holders ; a
was the accepting of interest on the; a
sewer end paving e6eesement instal-Id
men te. While this eels directly Cor the ~
benefit o{ the poor men who cannot; 4•
meet [he esaeaementa, but can meet' w
the interest on the same, it also brin~a ~ H
into the city lreaeury a considerable i
amount of money for said interest and, w
tsxea both, that otherwise would not' u
be received, „and it in no way lessens ~ P'

OUR CITY LEVY ~ ti
Our teat city levy of 16 mills, matle ~
up o[ 5 mills for general expenses, end ri
11 mills for inler¢at, was certainly as ~ yi
email ea it could be made, end much
smeller then it ought Lo have been, if i
cimea end conditions were anywherei ~;
near normal. The 6 mills will jva ,T
about pay the eateries, fuel, lights cud al
street eleeninq, mid leaves but IiGle
gi
for road work end city improvements.
The fact that it requires eleven mills at
to pry interest ie o dietresaing situa~
Lion, but one that hoe to be met, and Y~
wC'§hould do.our best [o meet it breve- ly

.In selecting Lha appointive ofacere

lowed the caurea of consulting with in

wise one, es 1 shell adhere to the same eu
plan again this year. ~ fu
In conslualon, I aauld express the [h
Robe that the came pleasant aseocie- ,n

the peat year will be no less agreeable

to do our duty fearlessly and con-
acientiouely, end ever beer in mind
that the honor end glory of our city ie
reflected solely in our own public ecta.
