City Finance*.
Vor tba purpose of answering the many
nquiries matin of ns as a newspaper man
apposing doubtless that it is our premise
5 know something of everything appor-
liniu" to the public a (tail's of Opelika, we
ave, by the courtesy of Mr. Mathews,
lity Clerk and Treasurer, been enabled to
nil the following facts as to our financial
ondition: We must be indulged in Bay-
ng that the exhibit shows an exceedingly
conomioal administration of public mat-
srs from the day of incorporation until
qw. Wo are of opinion that had a more
beral policy prevailed the maroh of the
ity would have been more rapid, and the
baraoter of our public improvements
utter and more economical at the end of
series of years. In all matters of pub-
c improvement of streets and highways
f trade and travel, experience has proved
lint it were better and cheaper to spend
bree dollars instead of one where perrna-
enoy was desirable, Bnd so avoid an nn-
ual expense for repairs.
Unlike most other cities, wo have not
een called upon to invest large sums iu
jilways to invite trade and develop trib-
tnry territory. Located upon a great
a rough line of trade and travel,
tlier sections have contered here termini
f roads—a groat blessing to us, nnd, wo
ioubt not, of material benefit to them.
I The bonded debt of the city is only
UOO and has twenty years to run,
inring eight per cent, interest, payable
mi-anuually. The following statement
lill show at a glance how we stand :

Jood order nnd improvement under this

In the season. As we were able to get a still further re
