UNEXPENDED BALANCES AND TRANSFERS OF APPROPRIATIONS.
Under a concurrent order adopted by the City Council, Nov. 18, 1874, the City Auditor was author- ized to use unexpended balances of appropriations for the settlement and adjustment of outstanding accounts. The following tabulation shows the unex- pended balances subject to the conditions of this order, the transfers made under its authority, and the amount still remaining unexpended.

TAXES AND TAXABLE VALUATION.
The subject of taxation is always a matter of pub- lic interest and importance. The statistics relating to its history in Newton have often been cited in various forms and connections ; but a single illustra- tion may be pertinent here, as showing the results of the last decade, ending with the year 1874: viz. -

This statement shows an aggregate increase of very nearly three hundred per cent, in taxable valua- tion, during the ten years represented. The total assessment of taxes in 1865 was $134,787.30, and in 1874, $408,802.04; while the rate of taxation in the first year of the decade was $12, and in the last $13, on $1,000. The following were the items of assess- ment in 1874 : -

Under the conditions regulating the payment and collection of Taxes in 1874, a discount of four per cent was allowed on all payments made on or before Oct. 1, and interest at the rate of nine per cent per annum was charged by order of the City Council on all Taxes remaining unpaid after Nov. 1. The
41
amount unpaid at the close of the year was but a fraction over $50,000, or nearly $17,000 less than at the close of 1873. The following statement exhibits in summary form the transactions of the year in this department : -

realize, the apparent increase of floating liabilities may be practically reduced to less than $12,000, as previously stated. But for the loss which accrued to the City from discount on taxes, and the ex- cessive disbursements on account of Town liabili- ties, there would manifestly have been a large reduc- tion of net indebtedness, counting in both loans and unpaid bills and accounts.
GENTLEMEN OF THE COMMITTEE : -
With the rendition of the detailed statements which follow, the important portions of which have been summarized in the preceding pages, the service required by your instructions is completed. The information called for is communicated in greater detail than ever before; though in one or two instances, a perfect classification of results has been impossible, because of the failure of supervising officers, or others, to localize expenditures incurred under their direction.
The extended scope of tabulation, which brings into a portion of the present Report the unpaid expenses properly appertaining to the year in which they were authorized, as already explained, seems pre-eminently an appropriate and honest observance of good faith to the tax-payers of Newton. With such data, none need to be misled as to the actual expenditures and liabilities of the City. It is hoped that in this and all other respects, the earnest desire for a complete financial exhibit will have in these pages a full and intelligent response.
Respectfully submitted,
JULIUS L. CLARKE,
City Auditor.
