CITY FINANCES

 

Appended to the very full re-
port submitted to the city council
on Monday night by the city
treasurer were the following rea-
sons for not submitting the mat-
ter to the ratepayers, further than
to ask for their endorsation of
the bill, which was done at the
general election on January 13th
by referendum and carried by 484
votes to 60.

1. The Municipal Act does not

require local improvement bylaws |

submitted for assent of ratepay-
ers.

2. The utility redemption char-
ges are paid out of revenue and
not levied by taxation.

3. The government debt forms
part of Incorporation Charter and
never. was submitted.

4. That the change into Serial
Bond does not increase, but de-
creases to a very large amount the
liabilities of the ratepayers.

5. That the additional levy re-
quired to bring out this saving in
interest and reduce the life of the
debenture debt means less than

on maturity of debentures.
change to Serial Bonds will at
once release it, and it is proposed
to hold this amount as a reserve |
and supplement it by an addition-
al amount to bring it up to $50,-
000.00, This will answer the
dual purpose of safeguarding de-
benture holders and offer addi-
tional nducéments to purchasers
as well as penalizing property
i tioldeds each year by increasing
the taxation to safeguard instal-
/ment payments, and possibly rais-
ing more than is required, as
provision must be made in esti-
mates which, of necessity, must
be somewhat vague, inasmuch as
these estimates are brought down
in June or July and collections

 

jtake place in October and Novem-

ber, and it is almost an impos-
sibility to say what the arrears
are likely to be. Furthermore,
seeing that this $37,400.00 has
accumulated during 1913, 1914
and 1915, quite a large number
of lots have changed hands and
the property holders who paid the
taxes are no longer interested. I
submit, therefore, that the treat-

 

one mill per year to accomplish
the fact.

6. That it was not desirable to
repeal original bylaws and con-
struct entirely new ones, by this
act, but simply to amend them
as to style of debentures and
term of years and levy, but to
keep original bylaws alive as re-
gards mode and date of collection
and such as
act governing bylaw 59, and con-
ditions in 1911 Local Improve-
ment Act, some of which has been
since repealed.
