COUNCIL EXPLAINS DEBT OF $30,000 Lakeland, Fla., July 10, 1914, Editor Evening Telegram: Read- ing report of the city manager in vesterday’s issue of the Telegram, I note he refers to a debt of approxi- mately $30,000, which was inherit- ed from the former city council. While I know that Mr. McLeod did not intend to do the members of the former council an injustice, the or- dinary layman reading this report would possibly misunderstand just what he intended to report. I cannot give you the figures ex- actly: On Jan, 1, 1913, the city had out- standing notes with the local banks amounting to about $12,000; on Jan, 1, 1914, the city had notes out- standing in local banks amounting to $16,500, an increase of about $4,- 500 over the amount they inherited. During the year of 1913 the city council had to meet a great many ob- \ligations in connection with the sew- erage and streets; For instance, lowering of the water lines, of which 1 cannot at this time give the cost. It was necessary to drain around Munn’s park at a cost of $2,- 000 or more, build the city stables at a cost of $600 or $700. The city council was also called on to meet a deficiency in the sewer contracts and made a note to the bond trus- tees to cover this deficiancy of $6,- 878.69. It was also necessary to make a note to the bond trustees to cover this deficiency of $6,878.69. It was bondalso necessary to cover sewer connections in the paved districts, amounting to $2,949.10. Deducting the notes made to the bond trustees, you will readily see that the city was $4,500 more in debt Jan., 1, 1914, than when the city council took charge of city af- fairs on Jan, 1, 1913, with perma- nent improvements made during the year far exceeding this amount. T ask that you publish this ex- planation as the manager’'s report to the commission, while uninten- tional, is somewhat misleading to teh public. Yours very truly, J. F. COUNCIL.
