A Child Falls Out of a Second Story Window—Bound to Stop Hlegal Fishing-One Dog-Tax Paid ina Year, The Mayor's Annual. At the meeting of the eity couneil last night Mayor Groneweg delivered his an n m go, the substance of which was as follows: Gentlemen of the Council ance with the provisions usage 1 wish to present my ment of the condition of the In accord of law wnual state- flairs of the city, in connection with the reports ot the several city oflicers, together with such recommendations as they h gested to me. For fuli particul to their reports, which should rec reful mination at your hands in order to_ar a correct under- standing of the city's condition, and to ascertain the liabilities and resources. The annual reports of the city's oflicers should show the standing of the city, the same as when an inyeptory is made of a business house. I am glad to say the tinances are at pres ent in a satis| ory condition, although the outlook for the future is not as bright as [ would wishit. The general bonded indebtedr is #117,400, none of which matures during the ensuing fiseal ye ‘The annual nterest on the same £10,483. The treasurer’s report shows a balance in this fund of §11,¢ and the tax for 1856 not yet collected 1s $7,316. This will leave a balance during the next fiscal year of §3,500, which should be set apart to be used in taking up part of the vonds issued for the loan of 1883 which redeemable at the option of the city r five years from their issue. We have §i8,500 intersection paving bonds outstanding, annual interest §1,710. This fund is overdrawn § ). The tax for mple to meet The annual interest on the §45,000 and itersection sewer and tk sewer diteh bonds is $2,700. treasurer's books show a balunce of #2,700, just suflicient to pay this interest. So that the tax of 1856 of about £7,000 is suflicient to extend our sewerage system this season, For each of these funds the law authoriz ial tax of 2 mills each for i 1 2 mill sinking fund t extinetion of bonds for int ng and sew- r; the bonds so 1ssued are not a part general bonded indebtedness which Constitutional limitof 5 per cent on essed valuation, Balance in sink- ing fund is $7,000; due from tax the same amount, which, after the $4,000 maturing bonds, a ba £10,000 will be left.” If this ean be - d to the general bond fund DO~ rarily it conld be used to advantage to take up the bonds of 1883. The aunual interest on outstanding improvement bonds is $10,854 and bonds maturing next year amounts to $8,500; total, $10,354. On hand, $1,150, and taxes due for 1886 is about §14,000, which shows a discrep. ancy of $4,000, which must be provided for.” As the money to pay this is derived from direct taxati against abutting property, it looks the taxe be fully sufticient to pay said intc redecm the bouds when they mature. The cause of this present shortage is attribu- ted to the fact that several enterprising citizens have refused to pay their paving tax and even enjoined the county treas- urer restraining lim from selling their property. I understand much of this prop- erty has changed hands and matters may right themselves shortly. The general expenses have been less than the year '85- '80 o¢ '86-'87 in all departments showing a saving of $11,000, no doubt to this cause 15 due the advance in general fund war- rants. There are still $55,000 general fund outstanding warrants, If the ex- penses next year are the same the out- standing warrants will then amount to $113,000° and all we have in sight to pay this is the uncollected tax of about $36,- 000. Last year $5,000 cash was collected for the police fund' but this source of rev- enue has by a late decision of the courts been destroyed and we can hope from no i rom this mode of taxation. If matters should be allowed to go on in this way, we would find ourselves in a r from now with a floating indebted- 1886 uncollected, 7,80, this. ness of the general fund of about $77,000, This would cuuse city warrants to be 60c or 0c and cause therefore an ncrease in the expenses so that the total amount of out- standing warrants would reach $85,000 0,000. ‘This should be avoided at all ds and ways should be devised for aising a revenue suflicient to meet cur- rmxluxlprmscq and if possible bring the eneral fund to a cash basis. B; lfioinc this the running exvenses could be re- duced from 10 to 20 per cent bv the sav- ing of interest and by increasing the pur- chasing value of warrants, The general fund might be brought to a cash basis by bonding the outstanding warrants, but this would be only a temporary relief, as the 10 mill tax leyy for general purposes is insuflicient to ‘mect expeudiiures. I think the expenses ought not to exceed the income, and if they cannot be cut lower ~ then the “taxes should be increased in some way. The expenses of the city cannot be re- duced unless we stop improvements, de- crease our police and fire departments and eall a general halt. This would mcet the views of only a few people; it should not be thoughtof, much less done. ‘The future of Council Bluffs1s so bright that we must continue to improve. I would recommend that an ordinance be enacted imposing a license tax on busi- ness men, tradesmen, professional men, hotel keepers, shop keepers, ete. Iam confident that about $25,000 might thus be raised wulmmdgrmn hardship to any- one; many would be reached who haye altogether escaped taxation before. Ihe mayor then quoted from the in- augurals of other mayors, showing that Des Moines and other cities in the state were meeting with the same difli- culties with ~ which Council ~ Blufts is wrestling, He concurred in the recom- mendation of the city marshal for the improvement of the city jail and the Fulu g of the patrol wagon'into service le ¢ d attention to the high price ot gus and urged that an cffort be made to get better light for less muuely. In speak- ing of the parks he prediets that this city will excol any other city west of Chicago in a few years. He regretted that the park levy was not larger. - Fell From a Window, The little four-year-old son of J. R. McCracken met with & serious accident while playing around his home on South Sixth street, The little fellow feil out of a second story window to the ground, x\n{nl when picked up was in an uncon- scious condition and evidently badly hurt. Dr. Hanchett was ealled and found that one of the child's thighs was broken. Ibere was ulso a severe wound on the forehiend. It appears that the little one would have been kitled outright had it vot been for his first falling upon a trellis and then to the ground. Musical Novelties.

Another instance of heartless desertion has come to light where another young babe has been left to the tender mercies of strangers. Last Suturduy night Mrs, Wiltiam Morris, No. 407 Willow avenue, sont er husband out in the rear yard about 8 o’clock to take some blankets down that she had left out to mir. Like a dutiful husband, W , although tired out after his day’s labor, did as his wife bid him. On re: l'hln‘f the yard he dis- covered the hixnkets had béen piled up in the clothes basket. As he stooped down to ruise the basket he discovered a youny baby. ‘L he sight was too much for him; he turned from the child and went into the house, where he informed his wife, who told him to bring the child in, It was then discovered to be a boy bab; about four weeks old. A5 Mr. and Mrs. Morris have no children of their own, they concluded that the child would receive proper care at their hands, and in consequence will probably adopt it.

There seems to be a greatdeal of doubt hovering about the Richmond fire and police alarm system, which has just been put in here. Is it all right ? That query is heard on all sides. The company seems to have offered everything that is fair and square, the city having had abundant opportunities to test it in 1ts details. The strongest sorts of guarantees are also offered for the future. Still there seems to be a lingering doubt, and the query arides whether the fecling of un- certainty 18 due to the talk of rivals or from some real causes of apprehension, In this conncction, it is interesting to note lengthy articles in a recent issue of the Los Angeles Tribune.
