JAMES G. JORDAN, Secretary.
Proceedings of the City Council. On motion, by Mr. Sulgrove, the following preamble andjesolutions were adopted : r Whereas, it appears by the annual report of. the Secretary, that the indebtedne-s of the city, on account of outstanding Treasury draft?, notes, and judgments,' was on the first day ol May 1849, about 2,800; ' And whereas, of the scrip issued, and yet to be issued for the improvement of streets, amounting to $4,847 00, there will be redeemed in the collection of taxes during the present year, at the present rate of taxation, about $500 CO ; And whereas, it is believed that any attempt to collect the s'mall pox or Hospital tax of 184f, returned delinquent, will prove fruitless, and that the sum collected amounting to $766,51. ought in justice 10 be refunded by a corresponding credit on the tax for general purposes for the current year, levied against those who have paiu.said Hospital tax; And whereas, to sustain the city government as required by the provisions of the charier, to provide for repairs of bridges, and such improvements as are absolutely necessary to protect and preserve the hen h h of the city, there will be required the sum of about $2,000 00 thus forming a total charge againsi the receipt of the city for the current year, in unpaid Treasun warrants, notes, judgments, redemption of scrip certifkatts. repayment of small pox tax, and ordinary expenses, the sum ol about $6,000 00; " And whereas, the estimated revenue of the year 1849, which is liable to the discharge of this liability, at the present rate of taxation, inclusive of such -sums as may be received from other sources,, will not exceed the sum of $3C0 thus K-aving a liability unprovided tor at the expiration of the present financial year, viz : May 1, 18.0, the sum of about $2,4tO CO; It is therefore the opinion of this Council, that to aid in the extinguishment of ihe city indebtedness, which is eonstan ly accumulating by the rendition of judgments, interest and costs, and to enable the ciiy authorities to provide means for such ini provenientsas will have a tendency to remove, as far as practicable, the causes of sickness and disease wiihin the city limits the tax for general purposes ought to be increasi d ten cents on each one hundred dollars valuation of property returned by the assessor for the year 1849.
