The action of the city commission | in purchasing special assessment war- rants and other evidences of indebt- | edness of the city and placing them | in sinking and special assessment funds was praised. “This transfer of | assets from low interest bearing cer-| tificates of deposit to higher interest bearing obligations is commendatory, and where practicable, should be con- tinued,” the report says. | Facts deducible from the audit, which is for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1933, show that the affairs of the city are in excellent condition and that the indebtedness of the city has been materially reduced the last year. Value of municipal land and build- ings, exclusive of the water works system, aggregated $248,100. Bonded indebtedness outstanding against this Property is $115,000, which represents the unpaid World War Memorial bonds. ‘Waterworks Indebtedness Cut Cost of the waterworks plant and commission. The need of a definite plan to fol- low in such cases became apparent when a request for a compromise, made by Mrs. Rose Fryer of 122 Sixth St., loomed as a forerunner of many similar applications to follow. Mrs. Fryer, who is refinancing a mortgage on her home, asked the mortgagee on delinquent taxes, which must be settled in the refinancing procedure. The commissioners will “think over” for a week the problem and next Monday expect to set a definite pro- gram for such cases. 34 Local Applications W. M. Schantz, appraiser in this district for the home owners loan corporation, told the commission that 34 applications for refinancing home motrages had been filed by Bis- marck residents. An offer to settle back taxes for three years totaling $998 by payment of $800, made by Charles McGoon of 311 Avenue D, was accepted by the commission. City Auditor Myron H. Atkinson purse of gold. Two amusing anecdotes of early days here which recalled her first meetings with Mr. and Mrs. Fal-| coner, were related in a witty man- ner by Mrs. James D.

Points to Opinion Commenting on a protest against the city’s new ordinance for regula- tion and licensing of taxicabs, City Attorney Charles Foster told the com- mission that an attorney general's opinion in February, 1929, said that state law “in no manner: proposes that municipal control shall cease.” The 1933 state law, Foster said, mere- ly adds strength to the 1929 opinion. the year, and the sum of $15,187.86 was added to the waterworks depart- ment sinking fund, thereby increas- ing the general sinking fund from $89,010.23 to $104,198.09, from which $11,566.67 was set aside for a deprecia- tion sinking fund. “In view of the fact that the waterworks plant and equipment were acquired by the city in return for bonds of the city, and| that all additions and improvements have been paid for out of the earn- ‘ings, it appears that the affairs of while liabilities decreased $51,676.56,| ing forward to Monday Sept. 11, an improvement in the financial con-| When they will be guests of Joe Sples dition of the city aggregating $174,- at his cabin on the Missouri river 10} 133.52 for the year, according to the| Miles north of Bismarck.
