City Council; Dubuque, Iowa:
Special Session, April 15th, 1921
79
Gentlemen: On March 1, 1920,
current deficits were as follows:
Due to damage by. floods $ 85,574.68
In General Operating
Funds 60,743.66
Total current deficit ...... ...$146,318.3'4
The deficit due to the damage from
floods was taken care of by the ap-
propriations for 1920. The current
deficit, however, was not provided
for.
On April 1, 1921, there was a cur-
rent deficit in the operating funds
amounting to $38,135.39, Which
shows during the current year a re-
duction of our floating debt of $22,-
608.27, in spite of the fact that the
current year contained thirteen
months instead of twelve. Assum-
ing the regular expenditures of one
month. to amount to $35,000.00, this
would show an improvement of the
financial condition in the eleven
months amounting to about $57,-
600.00. This is in spite of the fact
that some $7,000 has been spent for
new equipment for the street and
a new heating plant and electric
lights have been installed in the
City Hall at considerable expense.
The Appropriation Ordinance,
adopted on March 25, 1921, covering
the appropriations for the current
fiscar year, leaves a balance beyond
the amount of appropriation. in the
consolidated levy. of $71.962.51. I
would recommend that the sum of
$38.135.39 be transferred from the
surplus or contingency fund to en=
tirely meet and wine out the defie.cit
in the operating funds of the City
on April 1. 1921, and also that the
sum of $9.000 at this time be trans-
ferred from the surplus or con-
tingency funds hi the consolidated
levy, to take care of the current de-
ficit in the park fund. which hereto
fore has been independent from
other city funds. If the above trans-
fers are authoried, there will be a
surplus in the general fund consoli-
dated levy and miscellaneous re-
ceipts amounting to $24.827.12'.
Respectfully submitted.

James Lee, some members of the
Council and myself, with reference
to the payment of special assess-

Sub. 27.44

The arrangements as made, as I
recall them, were that this assess-
ment was to have been settled on the
basis of one -half of the originol as-
