It appears there has never been a statement made of the city’s iinancial affairs, and for the information of the tax payers a more detailed state ment in given below: The original railroad bond issue was 22 bonds for $1000 each. One of these bonds was paid in full Aug. 1,1901 and one paid in full Aug.l, 1903. Another bond will be paid about August, 1905. The judgment in favor of Finance Company, of Iowa, was originally $3418 58 and was rendered for interest due on water bonds. Since 1901 there was paid on this judgment, $1465 00. The judgment of Addyston Pipe & Steel Company was rendered for warrants issued on the water rental fund issued in 1894 for pipe furnish ed in the extension of water mains. The original amount of this judg ment was $3129 88. Since 1901 there was paid on this judgment $146o 00. A statement is given below of the amount of general fund warrants registered since 1891 together with the amount of warrants redeemed during the same period except previous to 1890. The amount of war rants redeemed is not given as the records are not clear and it is im possible to give the exact figures. Fiscal year ending May 1, 1891, $3778 82 1892, 3937 21 1893, 4118 03 1894, 3570 48 1895, 2779 24 1890, 2588 93 1897, 2097 89 Paid during same period, $ 971 51 1898, 1829 48 “ 790 51 1899, 1910 14 “ 080 79 1900, 3300 45 “ 2418 34 1901, none “ 1078 21 1902, 750 00 “ 1582 58 1903, none “ 1800 05 1904, none “ 1025 19 To January 1,1905, none “ 1357 91 Since May 1,1900, no portion of the tax levy has been used for current expenses, the entire amount being applied on the old indebtedness. Of the $750 of warrants registered in 1902, $500 was given for the pur chase of the building now used by the Firemen, the city still owning the building. $250 was given in settlement of a damage suit. A fact worthy of note is that since May 1, 1900, no salaries have been paid the officials except the city clerk, the mayor and councilmen agree ing to serve without compensation, a saving of $200 per year or $1000 for the past five years. A comparison of the warrants registered shows clearly what has been done during the past five years in reducing the warrant indebtedness and it is safe to say that if the city’s affairs are conducted economically for the next two years there will lie no unpaid warrants. I would recommend the funding of the water bonds, as no doubt new bonds bearing 5 per cent can be readily disposed of, whereas the pres ent bonds bear 7 per cent, and from the present outlook cannot possibly be paid when due. By funding these bonds means a saving in interest of $300 a year. J. F. GALLAGHER, City Treasurer. Found a Cure for Indigestion. I use Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets for indigestion and lind that they suit my case better than any dyspepsia remedy I have tried and I have used many different re medies. I am nearly fifty-one years of age and have suffered a great deal from indigestion. I can eat almost anything I want to now—Geo. Emory, Roek |Mills, Ala. For sale by P. C4 Corrigan.__ Bought Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and Sent it to Friends. Mr. F. W. J. Fletcher, a druggist in Victoria, Austrialia, says: “A custom er of mine, was so pleased with Cham berlain’s Cough Remedy, which she had used for her children when suffer ing from colds and croup, that during a fortnight’s time she obtained at my shop, nine bottles, which she sent to her friends in different parts of the state, telling them to give it a trial.” For sale by P.
