Improvement, &.—The re- portof Wm. Laird, Esq. Clerk ef tne Corpora- tion of wn. for the year 168, sub- mitted to the ty Councils at their meeting on Friday evening inst, tains many matiers of interest, bat we Bave spice for only a brief avstract. The total reovipts during the yeaT 86r, amounted to $12,276, and to ex to ‘There was expended daring the year, out of the general fund, in repairing streets, roads, odin cleaging and lim- ing of streets and alleys, 9,542.27, which ex- ceeded the expenditures of I-67 by about $1,700, and if there 1s added to this the intersections improvements mounting to ‘$975.84,and the cost to the Corporation of the im- provement of Beall, Manro, and North streets, fay about St, 00; the on! year 1868 will reach about $14,8%5. fn the esti- mate for 1869, $10,000 is pat down for street im- provements. The licenses of 1967 fell short of thove of 1856 by about $1,594, and those of 186s fell short ot there of 1567 by about S650. The decrease is mainly in sp:tituows liquors, although there bas been a slight falling off in all, witt the ex- ception of prdler and stamp locenses, which have increased by aout $50). Im this counec- tou the Clerk saysieWithout questioning in toe slightest degree the good intent of the ac- tion of the Board of Metropolitaa Pelice in re- tusing their sauction to to many licenses, I am *murely sttusfied, im my own mind, that their obj-ct is not gamed therepy. The reveaue of tue Corporation is taken away by their act, but the sale of spirituous liquors, even by the glass, is mot dimimushed. The more effectaal way, dy far, would be to exact @ much heavier euse for the sale of it, and a more rigid effort by the police in seeing that the ws relative hereto Were, in all Texpects, faithfully com- pled with, oF the penal:y promptly and rigidly enforced ” ‘The total amount of licenses received in Isi= ‘was $12,255.98, against $1245.20 received dur- img the year 1867. The decrease in the buck- ster licenses is mainly at:ributed to the release by the corporation of ail s doing busi- bess ip the market-house from the payment of such license. Although to the eye, and to the ear, there seems to be dogs abun- dantly, and everywhere in the town, yet ine fax received from that source has fallen off. The heenses for the retail of spirituous s by the glass amounted in 165 to $3,506 S), and for the past year to $?,066.50, msking a differ- ence of about $!,740. The fines in 15d amoant- €d to $1,456.13, being $09.27 less than in ts67. And $635.04 less than in 186. The licenses and fines together reach the sum of $13,712.01, being $1,351.48 lees than in 1867, and $3,170.03 less than 10 1866. In the estimace for 1-69 they are put down at 813.200. ‘The Clerk thinks there taay be a deficit a) April Ist of this year of 35, met by a temporary loan to that date, when it can be repaid and there will be a surplus. He ipproves of the Corporation buying in perty St tax sales, (they have bought here- tofore to the amount of $1,564.7,) because the owners are cortent to tet it remain guredeemed, believing & deed trom the Corporation to itself Would be worthless; and suggests a higher rate of interest on such sales than the ten per cent fixed by the charter—that is, at least ten per cent per annum more. in supmitting the estimate for 1569, he says it exhibits a more favorable condition of fiaances than that of last year, indicating that flaancial affairs. at least after April Ist, will be easy in their nature and creditable to the town to the end of the current year. He recommend: relieving the seventy cents tax for the general fund from the ten cenjs for schools and five cents for water, heretofore deducted from it. which will add about $7,500 to that fund, every dollar cf which will be needed, in consequence of increased expenditures and decrease of Tev- enue from licenses amd nnes, Notice has been taken in the estimate of the arrears of taxes trom 1-6) to 1866 incisive, amounting to $11,116.15. Polictes of life insuratce tothe extent of $10,000 have been given for the same, and in- terest Bas been paid to July 1, 1865. The Clerk Tecommends borrowing $4,5i\\, to be paid for the travel bridge acroes the aqueduct, at the time when it is needed, and as opportunity oc- urs to issue Stock for the payment of the note, it is shown by the estimate that there will probably be a small deficiency at the end of 1v6", even with the imcreased tax recommended for the year, which is as follows onevery hun- ited dollars of taxable property -—General tax, cents; Metropolitan raudroad tax, 5; gas tax 15; Metropolitan Police, 25; scncols, 25. Total, $1.40; being two cents per one handred dollars jess than 1867, with the exception of the 25 cents for schools. There was received last year on account of Georgetown Public Schools a net amount of $5,l=.65; expended, $4,793.78; balance on hand December 31, $394.87. The school revenue for itoy i= estimated at $9400 net. Of the colored school fund raised last year, $1,995.21, there was paid to the Trustees of said schools Si,- 39.45, leaving cash on hand, December jist. There will be realized for colored chools the present year about 5,191.62. The above tnx of Tve cents for Metropolitan railroad is for the gradual redemption of $1), 60.43 Of stock issued in {avor of that road many years ago, Ot the Corcoran charity tund, originally $15,000 Memphis bonds, $600 was ex] for charitable purposes during the year, and there remains on hand $15,075. During the past year $4,894.69 Corporation ~tock was sold on xccount of prison stations, and $1,867.42 on acceunt of Public Schools, ana here was redeemed $3 making an in- Tease of stock debt of $2,475.54. The Chesapeake and Ohio canal bonds re- main as at last report, $2,000 principal, and $2). 0 accrued interest. Ut the fund for erection ot new Town Hail here is now on hand $4,229.09. The market-house fund stands as follows :— Reoripts during In, 35,355.00; expenditures, 76,285.19; cash on hand, $122.31. The Steam Fire Department cost during the year 186*, $4,249 35, or about $1,370 more than ihe estimated cost. The total receipts on account of Metropolitan Police last year were $1545.04: expenditares, jeaving cash on hand, $17.5. The xeess this year is $3,517.17, and the Clerk recommends a Tetuction of the tax on tbat account from 2 i 76: cash on 3,732.81 Teceipts for 1859, $1,596. expenditures, $9,790; probable excess, $316 35. Receipts on account of Water Fand im isis, 13: expenditures, $3,554.11; cash on hand, The entire amount of wer stock— 6—is now redeemed, except a certificate $69, for which the owner has not been found. It is recommended that the above $551.42 be carried to the general fund, and the Clerk thinks it a sudject for congratulation that the is paid and water may now be furnished vhout charge to the whole community.
