Financial Outlook Kneourni;luc,
The city's financial outlook Is very in

to r able to say that the net city debt is
at the lowest point for many years. Our
oresnt conditions form a most strlk'nit

The policy of refunding our outstanding
I pr cent warrants and pr cent optional
bonds, and replacing both with low interest
bearing bonds has cut off a larse Irti'rtst
charge. The last of the outstanding i hr
cnt bonds, amounting to tl2J.0. were paid
last July We have now sufficient tupd to

pated In the appropriation ordinance are
dUturUi.
Under thews circumstances I feel we are
commencing the new century on a ound
financial basis, with all our departments
working smoothly and efficiently. But the
lessons we have learned during the ,rlo 1
oendlture of our funds demannj still more
c-areftl consideration In order that there
Khali be no extravagance, unnecessary ex
pense or doubtful methods of mklnc monsy
from the city treasury The taxpayers of
Council Bluffs have borne heavy burdens
many years with great patience recaose
tney realized tne necessity ot extricating
the city from the financial slouch Into
which It had fallen. As the liquidation of
the city's Indebtedness removes the neces
sity for these extraordinary b irdcns they
should be lightened. Our object should be
to dispense witn an unneeoea taxation,
rather than to find new ways of spending
its proceeds.
Ureal Improv einents eeded.
We are confronted with n necessity or
extensive special Improvements, sueh as
pnvtng, grading, curbing, etc.. and it Is un
just to expect these unlexi property own
cm are. relieved, wherever possible, from
excessive general taxation. Besides this,
tbe reputation of our city abroad suffers
from an unduly large tax rate. The reduc
tion of tax levies to the lowest tolnt con
sistent with efficient administration of the
city's affairs will be one of the most
forcible arguments with prospective settlers
and Investors.
I recommend that you give this subject
special attention when the annual tax levy
is made In September.
The assessment now being made I am
crnfldent will be larger than that upon
which our revenues for this year are based
and even with 'a reduced tax levy will afford
sufficient Income, after this year, to war
rant many general and special Improve
ments which are nurely needed.
In determining the city's financial condi
tion we should take Into account. It seems
to me. the property of various kinds owned
by the city, such as the city hall, jail, patrol
house, the four hose houses of the fire de
partment, a large amount of personal prop,
erty and several hundred acres of city
parks. Such property. It Is true, brings no
revenue. Nevertheless It represents in
vested capital. It is necessary In conduct
ing the cl'y's business and would require
the outlay of considerable sums of the city
did not already possess It. It should there
fore be accounted a city asset.
AdtUea Sale of l.ota.
There btc about 1SS vacant lota aciulrcd
by the city under proceedings to protect its
liens for special taxes. They have cost the
city the amount of unpaid special and gen
eral taxes, court costs and other expenses
and arq bringing no revenue. I strongly
recommend mat immediate steps to laxen
to dlsnose of this nronerty to the bent ad
vantage. In this way the city can recover
at least a considerable portion or its in
vestment and the property will at once be
come awerseble for city taxes and thus be
made a source of revenue.
One of the moxt Important matters en
gaging thei attention of the city council
during the last year was the iiuestlou of
special improvement and particularly thn
awarding of contractu for paving a number
of streets, II linn Pecn apparent for sev
eral yearn that the rubbish on many of our
streets, ny courtesy caueu pavement, must
be replaced with a more permanent and
substantial materia!. An attempt was made
two years ago to repave some of our streets,
hut after contracts had been let the work
wax abandoned b mutual consent on uc-
ruuni or giinrernu ruuri ut-ciniunH uivuiioai
Ing the special acmcnt laws under which
we were then acting. The stute legislature
HUbseoucnily enacted laws designed to cor

ben a subject of much i-erplexlty and one
?f the most Important matters last year In
onne-tlon with our muni, ipal affairs
the submission of the Bluff City Electric
I.lrht and Gas company franchise to the
electors. This franchise had pr-1oul
been embodied In an ordlranec drawn b a
representative of the company. It was In
troduced, read three times and passed under
a u' pension of the rules at one seaston of
the council. August I? with only one 'in
important amendment. This legislative
haste and the unsatisfactory character of
some of th pro.islon of the ordinance
CflUMHl me to veto it at the next meeting.
.September 1. My objections, as stated In J
my message to the council, were, in unci,
that the lnterets of the dty were not fully
protected and. among other things, that the
ordinance d'd not state definitely that the
plant re,jiired t fumtsh the d-slred erv.
Ice would be located In this dty and become
a home Institution I was led to l?leve
that th electric plant furnishing current
to ui noun) be 1'K-atM airos the rter and
our rjrrent cabled from an alien city. Thl
condition seems about to be realized. Any
such action on the part of the eectn. light
company should be opposed. The manufac
ture of ekctrif current to be paid for by
the people of this city should be a Council
Bluffs Industry, 'jrnlshlng employment to
local labor and paving taxes here. The
proposes arrangement wouia aesiroy an
direct responsibility to the rtty or. the part 1
of the company manufacturing the electric ,
curient ana mignt involve embarrassing
question of Interstate relation.
The council, however, saw fit to pass the
ordinance over my objections and when
submitted tn the people the franchise was
granted by their otn. Although I beliive
the oeotile will in time take rav view tit
tne matter ano realize mat tney nava on-

ji:.vmm:s.
Declines to He a Party to
Klilrnn'k tn Brewery
;irt or
Mayor Jennings returned unsigned the
ordinance vacating three feet of the side
walk of the west side of Scott street for
the benefit of the Omaha Brewing asso
ciation, which desires to erect a three
story building on the site of the old Non
pareil structure, recently purchased by It.
His reasons for refusing to attach bis sig
nature to the measure were given In an
accompanying communication, which In part
was a follows.
Although a motion was passed by the Clty
council requesting me to withhold my slgna.
lure until (erjaln papers were filed by the
parties Interested In the passage of this
ordinance tho ordinance Is, In my opinion,
so detrimental to the public Interests that
I return It unsigned, an otherwise II might
become a law by lapse of time.
The ducts of the city are dedicated to
the use of the public and while the city
council may the right to vacate a
portion of a street for private purposes, as
a matter of public policy I do not deem It
advisable. The streets are held In trust by
the city for the use and benefit of the pub
lie anil for the council to give away imy
portion of a street for private purposes
would. In my Judgment, establish' a inn)
precedent. Although cases have arien
where streets crossed railroad yards and
depot grounds, that the public Interests
were best conserved by cloning or vacating
some of them.
It Is urged In support of the passage of
this ordinance that It would bn no greater
dertlment to the public use to have the
building projvosod to be erected to cover the
estra three feet than It would to have the
building bjllt in the property lines and give
an area way on tho sidewalk, but there Is
very material difference between the two
propositions, When permission 1m granted
for the use of an areaway that permission
and the. right to use tht areaway under
men permission Is at all times sebject to
revision and reclslon by the city council
when the Interests of the public to demand
and said area way could In xuch event be
closed and the encroachment terminate, but
If this ordinance becomes a law it forever
prohibits the public to use said three-foot
strip, These conditions establish a vast dif
ference between the passage of thin ordi
nance and the granting of an areaway
Again, the granting of urea ways or per
mits for private parties to use and monopo.
llze any portion of any street r sidewalk
should he granted only In extreme and ex
traordinary cases. It creates dangerous
places Ir 'he sidewalks and is likely ct un
and alt tlmea to be the cause of serious
damage suits against the city and as a mat-
