Arrison moved to suspend the rules, for the purpose of taking up the bill to provide for ihe usue of bonds o pay the floating debt of e city. Mr. Russell did not think there was any necessity to burry up this bill. The Board of Aldermen was not ready to act upon it, and he therefore sug; that it lie over until the amount of indebtedness should be known. He desired to vote on the subject understandingly. Mr. Arrison replied that this Board was not Feeponsible for the action of the upper Board. ‘This Board should do its duty and pass the bili atonce.

The second section of the bill provides that ~there be, and hereby is, set apart, pledged and ‘Sppropriated out of the general tund, for the year endingom the 30th day of June, A.

See ir. Taylor inquired if this sinking fu provided for in the Dill, was to remain wale during the whole time. Mr. Kelsey thought it was not necessary for this © to = to what any future @ Money could be dis- of hereafter if deemed expedient. Mr. Taylor hoped the sinking fund each & e i g H © the city amounted to $17,000, besides other ed sums. In 1618 an act was passed to fund the debt to the amount of $60,900. In 1832 the debt was funded to the amount of $15,000. In April, 1537, all these debts were and consolidated to the amount of $108,513. The corporation about that time attempted to raise and became so involved as to raise $197,181 with its enormous interest and judicial expenses. In 1543 the debts of the corporation were funded and consolidated, as follows:—Outstanding six ‘per cent. stock, 896,90: outstanding ciaims for the porchase ‘of the Washington canal, #49.550; do. for its improvement. $137,050; outstanding to the ‘and Ohio ca- outstanding due bills, $3,300; out- si k stocks, converted trom 5's, $0,900; making ». This was then denommmated “the general fand six per cent. stock." In i847 the sum of 855,000 was get apart, pledged and general fund, yearty, a¢ a sinking fund for the payment of the interest and redemption of the principal of the then funded debt of the corpo- Fation. At that time its funded and outstand- ing or floating amounted to $790,- ‘208.22. Im 1861 “water stocks” were issued, moun: to $150,000. The funded debt, there. tore, at it time, is $940.%8.22. The present debt is $509,633. Both of these mount to $1,449,541. “osc neee Agures Tepre- Present financial condition and em- barrassment of the corporation.
