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 : KXPENUrrURES. nlurcst on $2r,,000 at eight per cent ) ;....*! $2,0110 miners’salaries, including police. .”,000 'eeding street hands 250 ’ceding mules and repairs on tools 200 Lumber bill Ilatioucry, wood, <fco for Public Schools Auuual expenditure $7,400 RECEIPTS. tom lax levied upon real cstalo assessed at $1,000,000 wederivo about $4,000 rom special licouse tax 2,000 rom other sources—linos, &c... 800 Total $7,aoo Wo know of do city of 5000 people liich cau show aucli u financial record, bd at the same time exhibit such genera] Jood order nnd improvement under this Blowing.
