REPORT OF THE
COMMISSIONERS OF SINKING FUNDS.
To the City Council :
The Commissioners of the City's Sinking Funds report as fol- lows their transactions for the year ending November 30, 1881 :
Balance, November 30, 1880. $181,367 27
Receipts for the year 172,382 65
Total
$353,749 92
Payments for the year 88,450 00
Balance, November 30, 1881.
$265,299 92
The investments and cash balances belonging to the sinking funds, as kept by the Treasurer of this board, have been respec- tively examined by the Commissioners and found to be correctly accounted for. Certain tabulated statements, setting forth the condition of these funds, are hereto appended as a part of this report.
It is now six years since the enactment of the law of the State providing for municipal sinking funds and the passage of the city ordinance establishing sinking funds for the city of Worcester and a board of Commissioners for the control and supervision of these funds. This period has been long enough to test the wisdom of this general policy ; and it may properly be here stated that this law of the Commonwealth has been acted upon and carried into effect by our own city government, justly, liber-

ally, and in full measure of good faith; that the contributions to these funds have been promptly made, even in advance of any claim which the Commissioners might make; and that this exe- cution of the law by the city government in a liberal spirit has obviously produced a corresponding effect upon the public credit of Worcester.
It may also be here properly stated that the extent of the beneficent operations of the sinking funds cannot be perceived by merely looking at the report of any single year, nor be meas- ured by the amount of the funds at any given time. These funds have been constantly at work. These funds have not merely been accumulating interest, but they have been paying off debts. But for this last mentioned use, the amount of the Worcester sinking funds would be much more striking to the popular eye than it now is. The funds amounted at the close of the year to $265,299.92. But in the brief period from 1876 to 1881, inclu- sive, the Sinking Fund Commissioners have paid, at different times, of the city debt, the sum of $657,400. If these pay- ments had not been made the debt of the city would now be $3,239,700, whereas in fact it is $2,582,300. The contributions made by the city to the sinking funds in the six years referred to have been $895,236.93. And if to this sum of contributions made we add the item of net interest, amounting to $27,462.99, we find that the funds would amount to the sum of $922,699.92, instead of the present actual funds of $265,299.92.
To recapitulate ; the high relations which the sinking funds sustain to the process of paying the debt of the city, and the important function which they perform in building up and strengthening the credit of the city, may be readily perceived in the facts set forth in the following figures :
