Not only is the city on velvet at the
| present time by about $1,400 but at
; least $1,600 more will come in be
tween now and the time the present
j council goes out which will be next
j' month. This was the statement and
S the figures as presented to the city
| council by Treasurer Romig and he
knows.
I The present city councilmen went
into office with a deficit of about $3,
700. That was a bad staft but the
finance committee and the others
! watched matters carefully and every
dollar that has been paid into the cof
fers of the city was paid out just as
carefully.
Treasurer Romig made an oral re
port of the city’s finances and then
asked that the delinquent tax rolls
should be brough down to date, that
is all delinquent taxes, whether for
the past year or the past five years
should be brought down to the pres
ent and appear in the full amount oi
delinquent taxes assessed against any
property When the motion was pul
before the council it was approved
unanimously. Another motion was
also put that the books be audited
and this likewise was carried unani
mocsly and an expert will be giver
this work to perform.
