Sixth street brit'gu. The Mayor, as chairman of ibe Fi nance Commlit-He, submitted his report, as follows; - To Ihe Honorable, the Hoard of Al.gr men. Gextlimes: In accordance with a resolution passed by ycur.body, I sub mit an account of the operations of the city government for the fiscal year end ing March 31st. 1666 In doing so I trust ii may appear that such legislation asyou have enacted has redounded to the public weal; for I um persuaded that, in alt the conflicting in terests wbicb have been brought to your attention and which jou have been called to pass upon, whether involving affairs which concerned thu whole com munity or the matters of individuals, you have bad an eye single to the dis charge' of duly, and a fulfilling and strict, obseryanco of your oath of office. I further hope that I as your executive officer have been guilty. of no laches in tb discharee of the duties devovling by law upon me for I have. I trust, faith-" fully endeavored to carry out every be hest emanating from the law making power of our municipal government, whether it be a statute law of th3 State or an ordinance of the city.. It has been my constant aim so to d;scbarge every duty, that the best interests of the whole people irrespective of class may ba se cured. In reviewing the reports of the several, departments I congratulate you upon the general healthy condition ol our city aflairs The bonded debt of the city is 8 per cent, due in a 1837 1888 1889 1892 1903 1904 1910 $130,800 00 23.600 00 5 500 00 100,000 00 30,000 00 199.800 00 80.000 00 6 per cent.

The year berae incomplete, we cannot tate precisely whether or not the re ceipts for last year will be exceeded. We feel very sure that they will not fall short. So far they are fully equal In addition thereto the tax book shows a net increase this year over last of $3, 0CG21. ; Business this season has received a decided" stimulus. Oar merchants have made larger purchases, and have made correspondingly greater sales. T,be receipts of cotton are very muca in excess ol those for the past year. There is an activity and buoyancy pervading all classes "of trade. The number ol business and dwelling houses which have been and are erecting is decide My on the increase; 'especially those oi an ornate and more pretentious-style.-Hence the value of the assessment real ized from real estate is en the increase, which will bring an addition to the rev enue of the city in successive years. By action of your Board all uncollected tmxei prior to the year 1885, were placed in the bands of an attorney, amounting Ula $65. 282.59. The collection of these delinquent taxes will be vigorously pushed. A small portion has already been collected and suitghas been com me need in the Superior Court for a larger amount. It is incumbent on the W ILMINGTON. N. C, TUESDAY. JANUARY city to have these taxes collected, main ly in justice to those who promptly pay their taxes and because the city needs the money, as well as to prevent inno cent buyers of real estate finding their properly encumbered by old tax claims. I won!d recommend that hereafter the claim for delinquent taxe3 ba put into the hands of an attorney for collection as soon as it can be legally done. I also submit herewith a statement of the appropriatione made for the pres ent jear tor current and other expenses, as well as those of n extraordinary charac irac'er and for which special appro pnations were made, viz: . Department expenses. . . 72 538 17 Paving South Water street. 4.100 00 Paving Nutt street. 900 00 Repairing tih street bridge. . ...600.00 Purchase of fire, steamer. .... .3,800.00 Exp. f committee appointed by -Chamber ot Commerce to se cure an appropriation tor all S. public building. . 25.0 Coupons a&d interest. -40.000 00 Sinking fund, estimated 1,400.00 Making a totai of. ...... .$123,588 17 j to meet which w comraeneed the year with a cash balance on hand of $9,838.12. and we confidently expect to realize certainly as great an anion n from' the present us tho last tax books. Though from unavoidable but satisfac tory causes tSi.iie of the departments will overrun their esiimatcs. yet from iho increasd amount of the present tax book and ihe reasonable hope of receiv ing a considerable amount f rom tho de- linquent taxes. 'ntt only will all de mands be promptly met but we hope to end the fiscal year with a surplus that will materially ad us in tiding over ihe four months that intervene between tbe'closmg of the old tax book and re ceivinz the new. The report of the Chief of Police shows in detail the operations and ef feciiveness of the pol'ce force. As the order and peace ot our city depends largely upon the discipline, efticiency and character of the force it has been a constant decire to make it equal to any emergency. . The report of Chief of the Fire Da partment shows that important depart ment of the city government in good condition and reflects great credit on the volunteer system of our city. The effective force of the department con sists of four white and five colored com panies. Three stcani fire engines, one modern- and effective hook and ladder truck, two book and ladder and bucket companies and "three hand hose reel companies. One of the steamers (Cape Fear) has long been m use, and Ism bad repair. It is suggested that it be replaced bv a new! engine as soon as practicable. During; tho present -year the Gamowell fire alarm has been sub stituted for the telephone system, and works satisfactorily. Would recom mend additional alarm boxes. A suitable fire alarm boll has been sub stituted for the old one, the new one weighing 2.000-pounds ; the old one only 565 pounds. The old one, however, has beeu placed on the top of ihe fourth street market hou?e, where it does efs fective servico Tho devasting conlla; gration of last February shows that the personnel of the companies can be relied on in nny emergency, By reference to the report of the Superintendent of Health you will see that by Ihe blessing of Almighty God our city has been spared not only the visitation of epidemics, but has enjov ed a remarkable degree of health, not alone compared with cilies similarly situated in regard to latitude, but with more fortunate cities remote from malarial diseases. Fortunate as we are, yet much could be done, particu Jarlsr in the way of sewerage. During tho present year electricity was substituted, mainly, lor gas in lighting the streets; a change that has met with the approval ol the citizens. There are many portions ot the city, especially the First and Filth Wards, that require more light and should have it. . As the comforl. convenience and health of our citizens are mainly de pendent on the good condition of otfr highways, alleys and sewer?, oar best efforts have been directed to them. When the aggregate length of the streets is considered and the great de mand for work to be done' in so many place?, coupled with the necessarily meagro appropriations as compared with the extent and character- of work which should be done, the difficulty is apparent. During the year , over six miles of stone and wooden gutters have been laid, thoroughly carrying off ihe surlace water, and the streets and alleys have been kept in good condition. By special appropriations for the pur pose North ahd South Water streets ha e been substantially repaved with Belgian blocks, the foot of Market strct t included. The docks haye been put in first rate condition. Nutt street has been relaid with a fine plank road thus making's-first class road from Dock street to Carolina Central Railway depot. We hope to substitute liaigian biock for the cobble stone on Mulberry street between North Water and Nutt streets. The bridges- spanning the railroad cuts haye been a source of constant apprehension and expense. The one on Sixth street has been re built aud is now in good condition. The one on Fourth street has been thoroughly overhauled twice during the year, entailing touch expense, and as it gets older the worse it gets. As the travel oyer that bridge is immense, Fourth street being travelled probably more lhan any other way Irom ihe heart of the ciiy." I would strongly re commend that a metal bridge, either steel or iron, be contracted for at once. As it is now it is only a question ot a vary short lime as to its being rebuilt in all its points. The W. & W. R. B. Co. has proffered to materially assist to put np a first class metal bridge, and to save expense and the ciiy from' a pos sible claim tor daigaze, it should be Mw-mw. i - done'at once. -Tthose ugly gullies "useo" for carrying water over the streets nl the crossings hive been filled up. and terra coUa drain r.ioft nut under the crossings. - - - -.,v- The incorporation of the Board, of hAudit and Finance on the system of the City Government, has worked most admirably. 'Being removed from the vicissitudes ot popular 'elections and their -concurrence- being n cessaryto all expenditures of money and cit ation of new debts, gives to'the taxpayer and holder cf city securities additional as surance of. economy and wis, money j legislation. v : Thanking you, ' geotlerren, one and all.' for.thc uniform courtesy and con sideration which I have invariably re ceived at vour hands, I. have tho honor respectfully to subferiba mjselt..
