The retrospect is indeed clouded with to which I affairs civic in advancement but it is to progress and In the year moment. present the at attention prefer to call your a million under trifle a was mentioned, IST5, our total civic debt which $3,157,516.67, at stands now It and a half of dollars. the public and works water the of cost the before as includes total I am hack, to the date ' schools. There is a great deal of looseness of thought and looseness of increase of language in discussing this matter of civic debt. The of itself not does the debt is not necessarily an evil it certainly at the conceeded be will It extravagance. imply either waste or self reand ambition proper possessing community, no outset that the rest of the.world is spect, can be content to lag‘ behind while that improveadmitted further be will it making progress, and opinion bepublic When ment cannot be made without money. question to first the improvement, civic comes clamorous for any representatives 01:" the the Aldermen, and Mayor the be asked by is really required people, is whether the proposed work or project whether the comand chiefly, finally, and next what it will cost, ; ; RETIRING ADDRESS or MAYOR MCPHERSON. 14 munity can afford the expense. If these questions can be a.nswer~ ed satisfactorily, there need be no hesitation about the matter Nor does it affect the argument, as has been frequently shown, that all civic improvements are not of a kind that yield an immediate money return. The advantages to be derived from good streets and pavements, from sewers, fire protection, electric lighting; and the like, though real and indeed in modern days indispensihle, are yet in their nature not subjects for C.'.)l1‘1m8I'CiiLl valuation. The successive additions to our civic debt since 1875 are all detailed in our annual civic reports, and as these are public property, open to all who have any curiosity to be informed, I need not specifically refer to them. When I had the honor of taking my seat for the second time in May, 1895, the total amount of our civic debt was, including schools, $2,756,166. During the years 1895 and 1896 the following. sums were expended for the purposes mentioned. It is gratifying to know that in most cases the cost of the works enumerated was within the appropriation. 1895.

There are several important projects connected .with the City at present under con- sideration and you may rest assured that it will be my aim and to the best my pleasure to co operate with the Civic togovernment, bring these projects, of my humble ahality in the endeavour with all others that may be wisely suggested, to successful completion.

OFFICE or CITY AUDITOR,’ HALIFAX, N.S., 22nd July, 189?’- SIR,—It becomes my duty, in accordance with law and custom to present to Your Worship and the City Council, and for general information, a report shewing the present amount of our civic debt and what additions have been made thereto during the civic year which closed on 30th April, 1897. A reference to the annual report of the year just previous will show that the otal amount of our civic debt on 30th April, 1896, was S3,131.5 6.67. This total included $213,000 properly belonging to the year named though the loan was not really effected until after the close of the civic year. During the following year, that is to say, between 30th April, 1896, and 30th April, 1897. there has been added, for the widening and improvement of Loclunan street $15,000, and for the widening of Quinpool road $7000, in all 322,000, which being added to the gross amount named a e makes the total of our civic debt on 30th April, 1897, 53,1 .5 6.67. It is to be understood that in this total are included all permanent civic liabilities for general civic purposes, not omitting Water Works and Public Schools. Some new loans amounting to 540,000 have been taken up since, but these of course belong to the current year and notice of them will appear in the next annual report. a matter which" very naturally is watched by the citizens with .the keenest interest and the question is often asked—generally by persons who will not take the trouble to inform themselves—-how it is that the city owes so much money. In the annual report for 1893-4.-. on page 14, will be found a statement giving the items of our civic debt up to 30th April, 1894:, and it would be worth while for citizens who are anxious for information in such matters, to refer to that state- The increase of the public debt is ' 18 err? AUDITOR'S REPORT. On page 141 also of the published Minutes of the City Council, which can be seen at the office either of the City Clerk or the City Auditor, there is to be found a detailed memorandum of the assets of the City and their approximate value. ment. On page15_of the last annual report it is mentioned that some $48,000 or thereabouts of old Water Debentures paying 5%,. Though 52- and 6 per cent, interest, would mature in July, 1897. this is a matter which also properly belongs to the ‘transactions of the current year it may be stated in passing, that the amount has all been renewed at 4 per cent. with a premium, and the Water Department will be a gainer thereby to the extent of over eight hundred dollars per annum. Speaking generally with regard to the increase of our public appear to be any way—-——at least no way has yet been disco\'ered—by which improvetncnts of any con-se~ quence can be effected without increase of civic liability. In the case of works of any Iiiagnitucle the benefits of which are expected to be permanent,—such worlcs for instance, as the opening or widening of streets, Water supply, r-=ewera,r_,re and the like. it would he civic debt, there does not obviously unreasonable to impose the entire cost of such improve—ments upon one generation of citizens, and no such rule has been followed anywhere so tar as I can learn. It appears to be pretty well established that great public 1cnpro\'ements and growth of public debt are Con vcrtible terms; we cannot have one without the other. In comparatively small matters, it has b err deemed a. wiser course, of late years, to pay as we go. For in tarice, we contracted a debt of $6000 not long since for constructing a foot-path around the Citadel and for the payment of some accounts not provided for in the annual estimate. This amount is being gradually paid UH" by instalments placed in the estimates and the same course will be followed for the discharge of whatever liabilities were incurred in the celebration of the Queen's Jubilee. The total amount ol' annual interest for which the City is liable, that is to say, the annual interest on our total cix ic debt, as named above, I am is $313-1-,25T.30, which is a trifle over 4} average per cent. not aware of any Canadian city that can borrow on better terms. In this connection reference was made in last year's report to a part of the city debt amounting to $588,700, which is known as Permancnt stock and which is all paying: five per cent interest. The greater part of the amount was old debentures paying origin- _ -.-1-.u.. -—-—-c-u-n-unuqg 19 CITY AUDITOR'S REPORT. .4--gnu-r-’u%~ --- ' at the time to be a good arrangement when these debentures were converted into Permanent stock at five per cent. No one could foresee what has sin_ce hapened and that the rate of interest would fall so decidedly. If this $588,700 now paying five per cent. could be renewed at four. the difference would be $5887 per anuum; quite a consideration when the annual estimates are about being prepared. The difl'iculty in the matter is that the present arrangement cannot be disturbed without the consent of the parties holding the stock. The City Treasurer has suggested a plan, worthy I think of consider- ally six per cent. - - _._.'.—1;0o/.'~c..._t,( . _. and it was thought whereby injustice to stockholders might be avoided and the City at the same time placed in a better position. The Treasnrer’s idea is, to offer the stockholders 8125 of City Stock at 4 per cent. £or every one hundred dollars now held at 5 per cent. and make the new issue of debentures redeemable in a stated time, say 25 years. 0? course this plan would increase the civic debt nominally to the extent of_§51cL7,000, but the annual interest payable wouid be just the same as it is now and when the debentures fell due they could no doubt be renewed at four and possibly at less than four per cent. The advantage to the citizens would be that the city would be released from a false position and in course of time might be a considerable gainer. The proposed change, however, would require some legislation as well as the consent of the present stockholders.

It would not be well, however, to expect too much from this source. It is to be feared that in too many cases the erection of new dwellings merely causes a .change, the occupation of new dwellings for the abandonment of old ones, or at least the re-letting of old ones, at a greatly reduced rental; in either case having a marked effect upon the valuations returned by the Assessors.
