OUR CITY GOVERNMENT.
All town Councils, from time imme
morial, have been targets for general
abuse and mud-slinging. Why this is
so we cannot always understand. In
silmll places that’ is about all the
wages they get for their public service
and here in Milledgeville, we feel sure
t he present Board lias been well paid in
such currency and will all, at the end
of tills term, retire on what we have
earned.
Now as we are on the eve of anoth
er municipal election and as it may
probably be of some service to those
who feel a genuine patriotic interest
in tiic future welfare of our city, we
have bail the Clerk of Council to pre
pare the following statements from
his books, for publication:

,This year's statement is not ready
at present, but when in shape for
publication will be very similar to
the showing for 1880.
These statements show that it takes
not less than $10,000 to run this city
a year. We have placed the follow
ing estimate reasonably low. During
tlie past few years the city lias had to
spend more than tliat amount yearly.
Since tiie city lias been paying $2,500
a year for school purposes, the City
Councils have been able to make end’s
meet by sale of lands. This will no
longer do as u means of revenue as
there are no more lands to sell. In
1885, Council sold in round numbers
$8,300 worth of land. In 1880, $2,900
worth. The sale of land being an ex
traordinary means of revenue and
not to be taken into consideration
hereafter—the following will give the
public an idea of what is before us
to
rn
50,
unless some new steps are taken
provide for conducting city gove
ment. Property lias been given
tills year to the amount of about $5
000.
Property tax, $2,500
Special tax, 1,000
Street tax 000
Insurance tax, 200
Gross sales, 1,000

$0,000
Last and this years Mayor’s salary
was put at $300 and Clerk's at $450.
But generally,
Mayor's salary, about, $ 400
Clerk 000
Three Marshuls, 1,800
College, 2,000
Eddy school, 500
Lamps, 800

Cemetery, 400
Incidentals, 1,500
$10,000
It tiierefore plain that it is impossi
ble to make $0,000 pay about $10,000
of indebtedness. The present Board
foreseeing this deficiency, applied to
the legislature for a right to submit
to popular vote the matter of increas
ed taxation. Tnere will lie no defi
ciency during our administration, but
hereafter. We will wind up our term
with the city out of debt.
Tlie Dill introduced by the present
Board lias become a law and soon will
bo submitted to tlie vote of tlie peo
ple for them to settle as they see tit.
it was intended to cover the school
appropriation, so ns to make the Col
lege and Eddy School fixed on a per
manent basis and the school fund re
alized would not increase present
taxes but change the present plan of
raising it, that is, from an appropria
tion by Council to a special tax by
Council. It is our opinion that next
year even, If the people vote in favor
of this school tax, the coming City
Council will also have to levy the
same tax that the present Board has,
in order to keep our place a town and
not a village. Miliedgeville is not a
heavily taxed city when compared
with other places and if the usual con
veniences, Ac., such as lights at night
and working streets are kept up, it is
not likely that such economy as has
been suggested by several writers in
tlie town papers recently will be wise
and give satisfaction.
Now, Mr. Editor, one more word.
We are not candidates for Aldermen
any longer. As members of tlie pres
ent Board, we- have done our best
and have often neglected our own
business alTairs and other duties to
go out and attend to city alTairs and
are only too willing that somebody
else should come forward aud do the
same. We will heartily join in elect
ing a good board for the next two
years and hope we can get men to
serve who will give our little city a
vigorous shove on the road to im
provement and growth. Prohibition
has changed the revenues and expen
ses here, somewhat in that bar room
licenses are cut off anil police court
lines, etc., reduced. And we also
know that some of the former expen
ses, such as one extra policeman could
be done away with but that only
elianges tlie statusof alTairs relatively.
