From this stalmcM of our indchledtters. it will bu seen that 11 1 least since tho adop tion of tho now Constitution, wo havo not been, till d ore not now, in a condition to borrow monoy or issuo bonus, with which improvements could bo made, although wo may continue, its hcretoforH, to mako the niwary repairs upon the sidewalks n ml streets out of tho general funds of the city. Accordinc to n recent decision of ouo supremo court, (Webster r. tho city of Chicago), construing section four, article nine, of tho constitution, it seems that un der ourcitv eiiarti-r wo can Uo nothing In tho way of building sidewalks, filling streets, or making other like, improve mynts, by menus of special assessments, tinlil'thc nassago of some act bv tho lecis- laturo remedying delects in cziatlug laws. inquiries navo been niauo why lioproye merits havo not been undertaken and car- ried through by means of these special as- xessmentf, but it will bu found that It hns not been from any opposition of the cltv authorities to tho making ot the Improve menu required by tho wants of tho city, but nolelv because of th uncertainty in existing laws as to our right or powur to carry torward and carry out such under tiiKings. netoro thu decision above ro ferred to, tho city might, notwithstanding thu uncertainty of thu inattor, havo plunged headlong Into thu making of im provements bv such nsifssiiiiinu. nnd IihiI she done o, slid would now bo struggling to get out of tho dilllculty, with no little cost for her temerity. Tho experience of tho cities, at lonst of this state, lias proven that in making improvements bv moans of special assessments, they havo been un 10 more cost nnu oxpeuso tii'in inov havo incurred, panning, from nil oilier sources, undjio ono of them is, perhaps, a stronger example of this than our own city. iho assessed vnluool the real and per sonal estate in tho city for 1871 wa? 2.- 3:111,870 00 which Is beliovcd lo havo benn n fair and rcasomiblo valuation, nnd it Is not supposed tnat tho assessment for this year will vary materially from that of lll.t Vl'nr. lTmliir lint .lli. ,.h,il.. .1...

As to thu general repairs upon tlm sidewalks, it is best that they shuuld bo made at tho public expense, especially whero they have originally been built by specinl taxation. Daring tho past year but ono suit has been Instituted against tho city for injuries received on account of defective sidewalks. Tills suit resulted In 11 Judgment ngalnt tho city for ift50. Considering tho condi tion of tho walks, nltnotigh tho city has aucn uoing an too count to keep them in repair, there would havo been no occa sion or reason for surpriso had thoro been other suits besides tho ono mentioned Tho citizens havo very uenerally fully ap- predated the efforts mado by tho city to keep tho walks in rop-itr, and havo not been di-posed to tako advantage of what has been to the city n souroo of tnoro or les concern and ombarrajsmmt. Tho ontlro amount paid out for ma terials and labor for the sidewalks alone, during tho year just pint, is $11,42105; and It is believed that this largo sum has been fairly nnd judiciously "sxponded for tho best interests of the city generally. Moro than this sum could scarcely have been cxpnded without so increasing the volume of scrip ns to de preciate its villi t In about ttt same ratio as thu Increase In nmoiint. Last May the c'ty council provided for the payment of interest upon city orders, sinco which timo they havo remained al most at par. and thi fact, taken in con nection with tho largo expenditure for la bor and matrrials upon tho strcots, shows what the city has gained by thus apprecia ting or chancing tho value of Its orders or scrip M in-over, although the larco sum of $10,176.07 of this interest bearing scrip has alrt-nJy Loon rilni.mil by thu city treasurer, yol tho amount of interest piid on the redemption of tiis same was onlv the small sum of $32. 12. None of us will, however, overlook tho fact that unle-s our expenditures nro re stricted i,n every hand, consistent with the actual wants siftliecity, the payiiicnlof no amou.it of Intere't will keep up thu value of scrip of tho city, turnover the volume, of scrip is expanded beyond what will be absorbed by licenses, fines and tuxes for tho general nnd im provement funds, tin-surplus will riow be in demand and tho vljolu v.Iuinu will be come mo-o or less depreciated. As beforo itat'd, th'j seilp now out standing nmouiits to about $10,076 and had tho city trenuror been enabled to goon with the collection of the t -x-s of H7I and complete tho sunn-, utmost all of lint sum, or at least tho latgir portion of it, would have now been uliuirlied, Dili!-uiiltii-s h ive, however, arisen in tiio way of completing tho collection ; but 11$ soon as they uro removed, it will lie curtied for ward 111 rapidly ns circumstances will allow. Tho bonded Indebtedness of tho oily, I liavo before remarked, is nt tills timo $2'J0,'JS1 39. Of this sum, $12,712 81 ure now overdue, nnd on the 23th inst. $S. 547 95 more of said bonds become due. Tho city has not been utile to pay these overdue bonds for the reason tlmt'ull the rovenuosho lias been ublo to collect from all sources has nosescarily been expended for other purposos ; und tor reasons beforo staled, she has not been ublo to borrow monoy or soil other bonds, so us to tako up thuso now due. The funds sha has col lectcd by tnxution und from other sources, havu teen applied to tho payment of the necessary current expenses of the city, nnu 10 1110 making 01 sucli repairs and improvements upon thu sidewalks umliM ubio7utoT-I ndiS)iJ,)sf0bi "P"n 'UTho city im" hovovor.'been paying to a number of the holders of thuto ovoriluo bonds tho intirest thereon, as it has nc. crued from timo to time, many, if not a majority of them, bofng satisfied and will in to L'lvo further timo for tho rnvment of tbo principal, provided tbo interest should bo regularly and promptly mit. t'orino taking up or piymetit of tlieso bonds, I wouid recommend thu iidantion of an ordlnanco providing for tho issuanto of about eighteen onu thousand dollar bonds, paynblo in ton year, with ton por cent, interest, the same to bo exchanged. under tho direction of the Finance Com mittee, for tho boiidit of tho city now over due, according to tho face or par vuluo of ino uonus. Almost till of theso nvcrdtio bonds boar ten pur cent, interest, and it seems Unit it would bu best to mako them paynblo ton yoars henco which would bring thum duojn 1882. Should they bo mado p.iyu bio at a later date,aild not beyond 20 years, thuy would bucomo duo when, purhaps, u largo nmount of other bonds woro falling due, thus making tho burden at that timo so much grentor. Thoy should bo mado paynblo ni ,t tjmu wlion the city was least burdened with other maturing indebtedness. It is believed thut uliuost nil of the holders of theso bonds would ugreo to exchatigo them on tho terms above Hated; und by such an urrangeniont ino Indebted ness of tho city would not bo increased; iho time for its payment would buoxioud e.l, without scurcely chunging the form of tho indebtedness. Y'ou liivo nil known of tho complaints mude concert ing tbe payment of iuturust on tiio Fox, Howard & Co. bonds by per sons who paid their special ussossments for thu street filling done by that firm. A low of them havo declined or refused lo pay thu interest. Every ore conccdos that there is good cause tor such complaints; but tho diffi culty ha been to providn a romedy, or fur nish remuneration to such persons. A new assessment might, perhaps, havo boon tmi'lii and tho bonds paid olT ; ' iti the law now stun la slid has stood Ioi aytm ilmiiitini, ii in- not 1 ' t o. t . 01.1 .j un.l ra.ry l.il'ougii sucli nil assess ment with any liopu of success. If, thornloro, wo cannot n.iw look to a riaiscmcnt us 11 ronicdy, tho question Arises can the city provide for tho re funding or payment back of tho amounts p sht out by such pursuis'f To do tht, tbo city woiitd havo to raise money by taxation or tho salt of bonds, or by ab itihf, lo speak, tho Fox, Howard A Co. Inter est in favor of such perxuu, no'tlmr of winch, 11 is beliuvoil, the city c in do.

Resides, In all those cusei where the pay ment .f tin speci il asiussm 'til w .uld bu regarded as merely u voluntary piiyment and bunco not constituting a legal demand ugutusl tho city, or onu nut capable of be ing put Into n Judgment, tho city would havo no right to mako any payment, ur ul vo any credit, or mako any deduction or abitement; nnd should she undertake to do so and thus treat such n piym.int us a legal and vinid claim against 'tier wlie.i in laei it was not, she wir.ilil be subject or liable to an injunction at iho option of any person lntcrclel In tho Inatteror to hoaf-fect'.-d by her arlion.

There nro other matters to which I might call your ntleiit on, of nut less Importance, perhaps, than tome of those already men liotied; among which I may name that of supplying the dilfurent parts of tho cit with water for tho extinguish ment of fires, nnd the tiuro efficient organizstioii of the Firo Department. Those mailers will all receive, at your hands, the attention lliev reunite. During the year prist, tho good order of ourcitv has been preserved ns well, per han. as wo could, under most circum stances, expect. Of course, defects, short comings and Inefficiency will appear, moro oriels, overvwheru; but when theio uro llinitoc' to it reasonably small compass or number, it is us much us we can expect, or reasonably hope ror. Our city has not been iho re-ort. to onv considerable ex tent, of those characters or persons, the merits or lioiiorablencss of whoso calling consists chiefly In tho dexterity with which tbov obtain what belongs to othur', with- otit'coiisideration.and too often with cniiro sufctv to themselves. When wo ct so far along that wo can not sco thu difference between the good and tho b.td in either private or public morals, nor between good order and publio quiet, and a general throwing off of nil those restraints which such order and quiet require nnd imposo, we tuny well givo placo to those who acknowledge no such ciUerenco 10 exist. Tho experience of tho past year hns shown, I believe, mat tho general wcl taro 01 the city ns to an these matters depends largely upon the dis countenance, by tho authorities, of the nri-snpr in our city of nil thine char acters who nro generally not regarded as deirahlo acoulsitiou- anywhere.
