Further examination, however, ciscloves that,during the same year, there was expounded on thom for repsirs, $74 960 49; fi ang $9,290; and for raluries $1,000, making a 35,220 49, whivdy dedusted from the asenmed smonnt of revenge, leaves the ¢um of $12,455 54, aa she interest on ® capital of $3,258,000 Witt such # etato of facts before mo, I felt it my duty, ip yy last wonusl] morgage, to urge the im- mediate sale of the waarves snd plers, uaisss coma means could be devised (o make Luem yield & reva~ bye commensurate with their value; and as sash moens bave not beea devired, tho Gomm the Sinking Fund have, in my ja? the best interests of the olty by directing their sale. while the amount thus derived will add largely to the sinking fund pledged for the city devt. Lhe wharves and piers, beg verted in private parties, will be added to the taxable proporty of the oitz, and thus ligb’en the enormous barthea of taxation so loudly and justly compiained of. Under theee oircumsteaces, Lreturn the rasolution for reconsideration, and truyt that more mature re- flection will convince your khonoranle body of the propriety, expediesoy end policy of the aouree adopted by tho Commissioners of the Sinkiag Fuad.
