Thc following message was read to

Noruaik Conn..t)c1. 12 1915.
To the iiouor1hle Board of (‘ounciH

‘ Gentlemen: ‘
in my message of last week i said
’thut i would from time to time lay he-
ifore you for your consideration such
the city. This P\9llillg I submit two
things
One -.Among the amendments to the‘
rhurter voted Octobel i is one‘to Sec-
tion 89, relating to the board of esti-
mate and taxation. By the terms of
this amendment. it appears among
other things that the board of estimate
does not meet again in regular ses-
sion until June, 1916, and either we
must borrow the money needed for a
“hole year and pay the interest there-
on. or else we must in conjunction with
the board of estimate provide a way
by which a special tax may be substi-
tuted for the regular tax usually laid in
December.
1 think you will agree with me that
to borrow so much money for so long
a time is not to be considered for a
moment. The real solution of the dif-
ficulty created by the amendment is
obvious, and so I ask that you take
such action this evening as will remedy
the situation
Two—in accordance with Section 68
of the charter it shall be the duty of
the mayor to communicate to the
council at the end of each fiscal year
a statement of the conditions of the
cly in relation to its finances.
‘From a personal investigation of
the record and from other information
submitted it appears to me that there
is some confusion in the system of ac-
counting. The financial relations be-
tween the fourth and fifth districts
seems to be not clearly established.
and it is possible that an injustice has
been done to one of these districts liy
the other.
“Accordingly Iurge that you take
some action looking first to remedy-
log your own administration with a
system of accounting that shall be
simple and accurate, and secondly to
providing a remedy for financial in-
justice done to any district if such in-
justice has been done. ”
