Gentlemen of Select Council: On assuming the
tt sponsible duties of presiding officer of Belect
Couucll, permit me to say that 1 thank you for the
high hoijor you have couferred upon me.
To us the suffrages of our fellow-citizens hare
entrusted the legislative Interests of our.clty for the
tnsuing year. To us has been confided the duty of
proviiili.g lor a better supply and dlHtribution of
water; the care and control of the highways of the
city; the regulation of its street grades aud plans;
tea construction of Its culverts and bridges; the
care aud management of Its wharves, Its markets
and nubllo buildings, aud the very Important duties
of erecting a House of Correction ; the enlargement 1
f the Couaty Prison, and such other measures as
will contribute to the health and comfort of our
citizens; the prevention of rice and crime; the pro
tection of the unfortunate, and the reformation of
the depraved.
It would be improper to detain yon with extended
remarks upon these various subjects, but I do ask
your thoughtful consideration of that greatest ne
cessity an abundant supply of water.
A reference to the report of the Chief Engineer of
the Water Department, made to the Councils of last
year, will present bis suggestions as to the best man
ner of relieving our present and prospective -rants,
. (Should you adopt his views aud authorize him to
proceed with the work, the cost as estimated
will exceed 13,000,000. With all due respect for
.the chief officer of that department, and while
acknowledging bis efficiency and skill, I re
spectfully submit to you that before a work of
. . , . 1 . . 1 ,w,.,.HMnirl .Kama
BUCn IUHgUllUue la uuuiuicuLgu, luciu biiuuiu
be appointed a commission of three more gentle
men of acknowledged experience and scientific
kill, to whom this whole subject, of the source of
supply, the mode of supplying it, and the storage of
a large quantity of water, should be committed, with
Instructions to report within three months from
date of appointment. Yon wonld then hare before
you such official and reliable Information as wonld
lead yon to begin the work understanding, and
wonld entirely do away with the expensive patch
Y ork policy hitherto pursued. It may be said that
such an undertaking will cost a large sum of money ;
ro it will, but it must be done some time, and the
longer It Is delayed the more costly will It be.
From time to time, Councils have been asked to
permit the laying of what is termed new and Im
proved street pavements, some of them concrete,
some wood of different patents, and some stone; of
these the concrete have, I believe, in every case
proved failures, while the stone and wood seem as
yet to bear all tests of wear and travel. I respect
fully submit to you to hasten (by such legislation as
seems right to you) the dayiwben our present system
of cobble stone paving shall be done away with, and
our principal highways shall be paved with such
improved materials as experience shows to been
durinor aud agreeable.
Jiurtng the last two years, Councils have ordered
to be constructed a nuiulier of very large main
ewers. There were made necessary by the great
Increase of building Improvements. Many of these
have been, or are, nearly completed. The same
necessity requires that you should provide, by loan
cr t ther wine, (or the construction of several very
Important bridges aoross the Schuyiklll.
One of these, at Callowhill street, the p'ans of
w hi. h wore approved by Connclla last month. Is of
the utmott Importance. The completion of this
bridge demunds, and I trust will claim, your early
am in ion.
For a Ions time past. Councils and the Commis
sion appointed by act of Assembly for the erection of
a bridge across me Bciiuyisiii at souin street nave
foeeu at. variance as to the powers aud the right of
the commission to issue Donus compelling me cltv
to par for its erection. It seems to be an admitted
fact that a bridge should be built at or near that
point. I agree with many of you In condemning the
compulsory nature of the act itself, and the manner
In which the structure has been authorized, but it
pcpius by several decisions of our courts that the act
is limiting, ana tne law goon, iiavmg tnese several
decisions iu view, I respectfully submit for your con
deration whether It Is not better at once to enter
into such arrangements with the Commissioners as
will provide for the issuing and security of the
nouns, so tnat tney may oe taken at par value, or
that the city by its own otneecs .take charge of aud
construct tue bridge.
It is a source of much regret that the Increased
expense of maintaining our municipality, and the
proper desire not to increase taxation, prevented
the Councils of last year from adding the special tax
of one-tenth of one per cent, required for the erec
tion of our much-needed public buildings. Although
itseeins that this work cannot be commenced tills
year, there is another work of almost equal import
ance which you can immediately begin. Measures
can at once be taken to proceed with the extension
of onr County Prison; to reform and reorganize
our Fire Department; to improve and beautify our
spacious Park ; and as soon as possible to erect, In
ome suitable site, a liousa of Correction. And we
csnnot ignore the fact that all this can be done only
by largely increasing our loan debt, or by Increased
percentages on present assessments, or by seeking
new sources of revenue by taxing other than real
estate.
I believe that whatever course we mar pursue
there will be some to And fault, but the great ma
jority of onr constituents do not expect to have
streets graded, bridges built, and other improve
ments mude without cost. They do ask, however,
that their money should be properly aud judiciously
expended, and when they are charged for, Ail re
quired to pay for water, that water should be given
ti. cm.
Wren compelled to pay for paving the streets on
the line of their property, they demand that the pav
ing shall be done of such materials, and In such a
manner, that it will last somewhat longer than the
time allowed for the .collection of the assessment
b: is.
'1 hey ask that when they are Inconvenienced or
tl eir lives endangered by want of proper bridge
faotlitii-s, tnat bucu accommodations should be wisely
gxauben buu Hijuniauimitj ertrcieij.
in conclusion, I earnestly hope that we will take
Into serious'uuusideratlon the importance of the
trust committed to us, and si legislate ana care
lor the interests or our wnoie city as though they
were tne individual interests of eii'ii of us. I fer
vently pray Unit our whole course as Councllmen
may be charact Tized by an enlightend and liberal
policy, a juxt aud economical expenditure, of the public
inoiiejn, aim a isiiniui aiscuarge oi our duties in
the full spirit of the obligation which we have taken.
Having thus briefly alluded to a few of the im
portant matters which from time to time will claim
j onr attention, I ask your indulgence a little longer
' while I say a few words for myself.
The high position winch, by your favor, I now
occupy Is not of my owu seeking, and therefore I
feel bow much I need your Indulgence for any errors
or omissions into which I may fall. There are
Among yon those better acquainted with legislative
, practices and usages than 1 am. I do not hesitate
ti ask their help, in humble dependence on 11 tin
"who doeth ail things well," I Intend, as much as In
me lies, faithfully aud Impartially to discharge all
the duties of President of belect Couucll. Your
kind forbearance ana strict compliance with the
rules will make the duties light and the position
i but. 1 earnestly solicit your co-oneratlon. and
assure you that in whatever else I may ail, I will In
110 rase no any luieuuuu&i wrung.
M v fellow members, again I thank yon. and la
each and all I wish a prosperous and happy New
Year.

seat.
Mr. KlDg was anxious "to run the gauntlet," as he

ADDKKsa OF PRESIDENT WAOKIR.
On taking the chair. General Wagner delivered the
following address :
Gentlemen: After some nesttation, i nave con
cluded to aav more than simply to thank you, which
1 now uo, jor tue nign nonor couierreu iy your
selection or myself as your presiding officer ror tne
current year, and I feel sure you will pardon any
encroachment on your time and patience, when you
consider the Importance ef the subjects to which I
wmn to cau your attention.
Prevloua CouttcUa hart &d presented (or thalr
corsldetstlrin and disposal questions of great Import
voi rs will be the duty of settling, on a firm basis,
I trust, the future nnaneial policy of this great city.
It i. tut be-n customary, Tor years past, to charge
tt;on us the grave dereliction of not levy lug a tax
eufliclent to cover the expenses of the current year;
and this charge has been repeated so often. In, aa
well as out of, Councils, that we ourselves almost
believed it to be true, until a late report or your
Committee on Finance developed the astounding
fact that from B to IB per cent, of the taxes levied
are never collected, and that if all taxes
now due and unpaid could be collected, we would
hare a surpins or f 1,808,823-62, after paying all out
standing warrants. The same report shows as that
the levy for 18T0, with Income from other sources,
will exceed the expenses for said year by $l,6r,so-K4
taking as a basis the amounts appropriated to the
various departments, and, In cases where no appro-
? nations have as yet been made, the amounts asked
or, and letting the taxes In an ears offset the out
standing warrants. If. therefore, a deficiency occurs,
it vlll not be causfd by an Insufficient levy, but by
lnifflclent collection, to the correction of which!
ask your most earnest attention.
A careful examination of the last financial reports
or New York, St. Louis, and Chicago, has conrlueod
me that the time allowed in our city for the settle
ment or unpaid taxes Is entirely too long, and that
an earlier resort to the sale or the property on which
taxes arc due Is not only advisable, but absolutely
necessary.
' In New York the taxes are due and ptyable on
November 1, and all unpul i on the succeeding June
1, ai e returned to the "Board of Arrears." a depart
ment especially charged with the collection by legal
process. As a result, the total of unpaid taxes on
real estate from 1841 to iee twenty-five years is
only fir)0,8S4,20.
In Chicago, the City Controller, after reciting de
tulls of valuations and rate of taxes, reports, on
April 29, ls69, that the assessed taxes "make in the
aggregate the Mini of 3,2r),i94-?r,of which there was
collected on the first day of April the sum of 2,B07,
6Bi 61, leaving a balance uncollected on that day or
S6T,444-84. a large amount or which has since been
paid Into the city treasury from sales of real estate
and collection from person si property taxes."
In the report of the Auditor or St. Louis I ran find
nothing to show how delinquent taxpayers are
looked after, but from the fact that the Auditor com
plains that not more than 80 por cent of the current
levy and 10 percent of the taxes In arrears are col-lected,-that
2,ooo,ooo were funded in 1807-6$ for cur
rent expenses, and that . he figures a deficiency, In
1869, of 11,700,000, 1 should suppose their practice to
be greatly like ours. .
Now, if the niodo of immediate legal distraint,
adopted In New York and Chicago, produces such
excellent results, should we not adopt the same in
Philadelphia? To state this question is to answer It,
and I hope that the first work of our Committees on
Finance and Law will be the drafting of an act or
Assembly for. this purpose, the pasBageof which
snouut oe at once pr sseu upon tne Legislature.
Whilst considering the question or the more effi
cient collection or the taxes levied, we should endea
vor to find other legitimate objects for taxation, and
thus relieve the real estate of our city, which now
bears more than its fair share of the city expenses.
Why should not the manufacturing wealth or this
city, the stocks or our merchants and all personal
property, pay its proportion or taxes ? fa New
York, in 18S9, the tax upon personal property was
t7,r69,644'Ml, while the total tax or Philadelphia, real
estate and personal property, was only 7,7fi,BC3,I.
Here Is a means or putting money into the City
Treasury practically Inexhaustible, and when we
ask the Legislature for legal aid in our financial
affairs, let us also demand the power of taxing all
classes of our citizens for the support of the .city
government

We also need a law to levy special taxes for special
purposes, by means of which the increase or our
funded debt might, te a great extent, be prevented.
The statement ''that the present tax-paver should
not pay for what will benefit his successor" is no
doubt a correct proposition, but it is an exceedingly
expensive one when carried to extremes.
We borrow, say, $1,000,000 for publio improve
ments, and issue therefor bonds at 6 per cent in
terest; to pay this sum at maturity thirty years a
sinking runa or f 12,000 annually is created, ana on it

we pay for this one million dollars, put into Improve
ments, no less than $2,160,000. To remedy this diffi
culty I would suggest that the making of permanent
improvements be spread over a number of years,
whenever the character of the work will admit, aud
mat tne cost tnereoi oe met iy special taxation.
' In other cases, special funds might be created
from which to pay the Interest and sluklng fund or
the snm borrowed ; for Instance, as suggested by the
Ciller Engineer or - the Water Department, the
amount required ror the extension of the water
works could be met by a alight Increase or our water
rents: loans ror bridges could be repaid out or
special taxes and assessments levied npou the pro
perties in tne aisincts more immediately oeneiiieu ;
culverts could be extended aud school-houses
erected in the same manner. It may be urged that
this plan is too complicated for practical adoption,
but I can point to other large cities where it is In
emcient operation.

Mr. Canning answered that he represented a ward
in which there was only one tire company. By the
passage of the bill the ward would be left without a
single company, and valuable property would be nu-
proiectea.
Mr. Hanna said that Councils did not legislate fnr
the benefit of one ward ; they acted ror the benefit
or the whole people. The speaker did not under
stand why Councils should undo what they had
accomplished. The press favored the action or City
Councils, and the cltlaens agree with the members
as to their action.

Washington, Jan. 3 It Is understood hero
tbat In the event of tho insurrectionary party In
lue W lnnlpctr war Inciting the Indians to com
mence hostilities, that the British Government
will ask and get permission to send troops
across our border to -facilitate their Kettlnjr into
the Insurrectionary district. This permission
will be granted in view of the fact that should
Indian hostilities commence on the Canadian
border they would undoubtedly extend into
Minnesota, and It would consequently bo the
best policy to give tho British Government what
facilities we can for preventing a spread of war
sentiment among the Indians,
The Ntorm around Washington.
The storm which raged hero yesterday and last
night has done considerable damage to the ship

New Year's Reception.
Despatch to the Auoeiated Press.
Washington, Jan. 8. It is a subject of com
ment that the New Year's receptions on Satur
day were not only rflore numerous but that'eon-
sldcrably less of spirituous liquors was furnished
than heretofore, coffee and chocolate being sub
stituted. The effect of this was seen in the
good order everywhere prevalent, withont a
diminution of the general enjoyment.
The French Cable Company.
The French Cable Company have put out a)
vague card, which a careless reader may possi
bly take to be a denial of the statement in the
President's message that their couccselon contain
"the very objectionable feature of subjecting
all messages to the scrutiny and control of the
French Government."
In reulity it makes no such denial, nor could
the company deny the President's charge, since
the 6th article of their concession is in the fol
lowing language:
"The Government reserves to itself the right
of establishing, at the expense of tho conces
sion, 6uch control over the service of tho line as
it may judge convenient for this purpose. The
service of the line should huvo iu oflicc iu one
of the rooms belonging to the telegraph
office of Brest, tho rent of which
room shall bo repaid to the State by the conces
sionaries. The clerks of the telegraph ollico of
the Stato shall bo indispensable intermediaries
between the public and the agout of tho con
cessionaries iu the transportation of messages.
The messuges received by cablo shall bo
immediately handed to them aud be delivered
through their agency. The messages to' bo
transmitted by cable shall In like manner be
lodged with them, and handed by them to the
agents of the concessionaries."
