"The board of public works desires to place before you for your individual consideration a comparative statement of conditions as between January, 1914. and January, 1917. "When the present administration assumed office there were outstanding bonds to the amount of $181,500, which included $139,000 city plant bonds. Bonds Total $296,500. "There are now outstanding bonds to the amount of $296,500, which include $219,000 city plant bonds and $17,500 park bonds, the latter to be paid off in November of this year. "January 1, 1917. our bonded debt, as compared with January 1, 1914, will be as follows: 1914 $181,500 1917 $279,500 "This shows that on January 1. next year, our bonded debt will be $97,000 In excess of what it was January 1, 1914. "Exclusive of the city plant's bonded indebtedness the city's bonded debt January 1, 1917. in comparison to that of January 1. 1914, will be: 1914, $24,500: 1917: $60,000, or an increase of $17,500. "When you consider the amount of improvements made during the past two years, plus $10,000 for fire and police department betterments, proposed and figured Into these estimates, a bonded debt of only $17,500 in excess of what it was January 1, 1914, gives no occasion for alarm; on the contrary, it reveals a condition we might feel proud of. As you know the City plant's bonded indebtedness will be cared for by the plant itself. Limit is $351,907. "The total assessed valuation of taxables in this city on December 31, 1915, was $17,595,439. The legal limit of municipal indebtedness is two' per cent of that amount, giving us a debt contracting limit of $351,907; duducting the present outstanding bonds, both city and plant. $296,500, we have a margin of $55,407 at the present time. After November of this year the margin will be increased to $72,907, LEONARD TO CLOSE FIELD WORK SOON Prof. R. J.
