Tlie mayor's Message.
The first annual messageof Hon. Daniel M.
Fox, Mayor of Philadelphia, was sent to City
Councils yesterday afternoon. It is a lengthy
document, and.) contains much interesting
statistical matter in reference to the various
departments of the City Government.
The following tabular statement of the
funded debt of the city of Philadelphia, from
year to year, for the last thirteen years, as col
lated from the several Controllers’ reports, will
he found interesting: •

Showing an increase m the space of thirteen
years'from $16,781,470 87 to $42,401,933 94
in the funded debt.-
It is proper to note that the amount of in
crease in the funded debt during the year 1809,
over the amount stated as at the beginning of
the same year, to wit, $5,604,198 28, is to be
attributed to the following loans, viz.:
Loans issued for ex-
penses of School

Loans issued for ex-

penses of Park.... 3,425,100 00
Loans issued for ex-
penses of Extension
of Water Works... 1,132,100 00
From which deduct
Loans redeemed
during the year....
Loans cancelled by
Commissioners of
Sinking Fund
- The Commissioners of the Sinking Funds in
the course of the year disposed of 5,000 shares
of the capital stock of the Pennsylvania Kail
road Company, and also the privilege to which
the city would have been entitled, if not pre
cluded by law> of subscribing to the new stock
issued by said company, namely—lo,7B6 new
shares, realizing in the whole the sum of $330,-
304, which was promptly applied to the reduc
tion of the funded debt, the city still owning,
at the close of the year, 05,149 shares of the
capital stock of said company. ,
There were on the Ist day of aanuary of the
present year thirty-eight separate sinking
funds, holding in all $12,320,921 40, to be
converted into the funded debt, under the
charge of the Commissioners of the Sinking
Funds, when deemed expedient.
The expenditures of the city, from year to
year, during the same period, thirteen years
hereinbefore mentioned, were as follows :

In reference to the uncollected taxes, the
Mayor speaks thus:
The exhibit of uncollected taxes, and partic
ularly that portion assessed for the years prior
to the last, with the knowledge of the guaran
tees provided by law to fasten them as liens
upon the properties against which they are
charged, and the facilities afforded to collect
them, will hardly be satisfactory to the
prompt paying citizeu, nor is it creditable to
ourselves.
-1 regard it as ef, the highest importance that
no legal means should be neglected nor pre
cautions omitted to secure prompt payment of
the taxes, and to enforce every test provided
to ascertain” whether they actually reach the
City Treasury. Tlie eleventh section of tlie Con
solidation Act provides, in express terms, as fol
lows :
“The Receiver of Taxes shall render each day
to the City Controller an account of each item
of his receipts, and daily pay the same into the
City Treasury.”
It is obvious that the duty of furpishiug each
item of receipts is most important, and is in
fact the only way provided by law to enable
the tax-payer to know whether his money has
been paid into the treasury, and to enable the
city authorities to ascertain, on investigation
of the Receiver’s daily statement, whether the
taxes have been, in each and every case, duly
returned. There are those in our community
who entertain grave doubts whether the whole
amount of taxes, as above stated, is really out
standing. Having listened to complaints of
citizens in several instances that taxes which
had been duly paid were afterwards demanded,
1 took occasion to make inquiry at the office
of the City Controller, and on exam
ining the daily returns of the Re
ceiver, I was surprised to find
that the important duty of making a daily ac
count of the items of receipts has been for
several years past neglected, and that the Re
ceiver has habitually substituted a statement,
consisting of but one line, and a lumping sum
for each War d of the city, thus rendering it
impossible to ascertain by reference to that re
cord what were the items of each day’s re
ceipts in each Ward, so that the tax-payer or a
public officer by reference thereto cannot ascer
tain, as the law intended he should, whether
any particular tax paid has gone into the trea
sury or not. I earnestly invoke the attention
of Councils to this important subject, trusting
that, prompt and efficient measures will be
taken to secure compliance with the law above
quoted.
Believing that it is the duty of Councils to
fix and levy tire rate of taxation yearly, ami
that so important a matter should not be per
mitted to go by default, I recommend that
Councils should procure the repeal of the act
of Assembly of the Bth of March, 1802, which
declares “that if the Councils of the city of
Philadelphia, before or on the second stated
meeting in December in cadi and every year,’
fail to Jevy and fix the rate of taxes for the
ensuing year, the tax rate of the preceding
year shall be continued as the fate for the
ensuing year.”
R is a gratifying circumstance to note that,
notwithstanding our apparently heavy funded
debt, the capitalists, properly appredatin * tin*
monetary strength of the city, and justly Idyl
300,200 00
$6,043,000 00
*102,598 34
270,203 38
*378,801 72
$5,604,198 28
iiig-upon the prompt payment ef interest as it
fills due, and of the principal when it matures,
i epard the city loans as among tho best in the
market, and invest in them freely when
.nllcrfed ; and that, notwithstanding the fiuan
i ial excitements through which pur people
lave passed, the fluctuations of the times, ahd
the not unfrequent scarcities of money for in
r estments, the city loans have, steadily msln
i lined themselves at an approximate par value
upon sale.
The operations of the various departments
are then given in detail. Most of these have
a 1 ready been published from time to time
since tlie first, of the year. In connection
with some .of . tho departments, the Mayor
makes important recommendations of refortp,
however.
In reference to tlie City Controller, the Mayor
thinks that Councils ought promptly 1 to take
such measures as will aflord a compliance with
the third section of tlie ordinance, entitled “An
Ordinance prescribing the powers and duties of
the City Controller,” passed November oth,
ISO 2, by which it is made the dutyof tlie Con
troller “to keep a regular set of books, in
which shall be opened and kept as many ac
counts under appropriate titles as may be neces
sary to show distinctly and separately all the es
tate and property whatsoever, real and personal,
vested in the city, all trusts in the.care, of the
Same, all debts due to and owing by the city,” etc.
Under the head of the Survey Department;
the message says: “In view Of the reasons given
by the Chief Engineer and Surveyor, I recom
mend the enactment of an ordinance prohibit
ing the construction of any sowers in the pub
lic streets, excepting under a contract with and
under the supervision of the city, and also the
repeal of the supplement to the ordinance “To
Promote Cleanliness and Health,” passed July
15,1867. The . passage of this supplement
seems to have worked injuriously in the matter
of making private connections with the sewers,-
as well because of injury done to the sewers by
careless or incompetent workmen, as also for
want of a proper record of the connections.”
' The paving of the streets is thus referred to :
“ A considerable number of our principal
streets are occupied by passenger railway com
panies, with the understanding, as fixed by Or
dinance, that such streets shall be kept in repair
by the railway companies. This arrangement
does not seem to work well, as there are con
tinual complaints on the part of citizens in re
gard to tlieif condition. There are occasional
efforts on the part of the companies to do the
workrihainly stimulated, however, by the ne
cessities of the railroad tracks, but it falls far
short of that thorough repair from curb to curb
which the purpose contemplated in the passage
of the ordinance referred to would seem to re
quire, and so it must obviously .continue to be
so long as the responsibility of keeping the high
ways in good order is divided. In view of the
experience of the past, I recommend that
new arrangements be made; namely, that
the passenger railway companies respec
tively contribute a certain sum per year, pro
portionate to tho streets upon which their
tracks are laid and the length of their lines,and
that all work shall he done entirely by the city,
under the supervision of the Highway Depart
ment. Knowing tlie condition of many of the
highways of the city, and assuming that proper
economy has been exercised in expenditures, it
would seem that the appropriation to this der
partment for repairs fails short of the require
ments of the city in this respect. In this con
nection I would say that the primitive mode of
paving with cobble stones should be at once
abandoned. It creates unnecessary wear and
tear to vehicles and damages the horses, saying
nothing about the intolerable rumble, rattle
and noise occasioned in their -passing over
them. There have been a number of experi
meuts tried in regard to the character of pav
ing in concrete, in wood, and in granite block,
and I apprehend that Councils can by this
t ime conclude upon some uniform mode which
would combine utility and quiet with smooth
ness and cleanliness, and with a due regard to
public economy.”
A change in’the arrangement of lighting the
public lamps is recommended, as follows;. - “That
the time of lighting and extinguishing should
be made public through the newspapers; that
those who are to light and extinguish shall be
employed by the city, and that the number of
meter lamps, by which the quantity of gas con
sumed by the city is ascertained, be increased,
so as to obtain a closer average, care being
taken that the burners in the meter lamps ex
actly correspond in size and kind with those
on the other lamps. I aha recommend that
the public lamps shall be lighted 'every night
throughout the year without exception. The
proposed arrangement would add somewhat to
the cost of lighting the city, but the advantages
resulting from it would amply remunerate the
expenditure. If there should be inattentions
to the lamps a corrective could easily be ap
plied, and the constant ljghts, in themselves a
great public convenience, would also materially
assist tbe operations of tlie police,as there is no
more efficient adjunct for the police than light.
I - also-recommend that more public lamps be
placed on the line of Delaware avenue.”
I A reform in the organization of the Fire
Department is thus suggested : “ Avoiding for
the present, and in view of our financial condi
tion for this year, the disputed question of a
Paid Fire Department, a single change of ad
ministration, it seems to me, might effect mueh
of what its advocates desire, without material
interference with the views differing from
them on that question: I allude to a change iu
the mode of electing the engineers; and I
again recommend that, like all other public
officers, they shall be chosen by popular or
public authority, and they will then be relieved
from "-dependence for re-election upon those
whose acts and conduct it is tlieir duty to ex
amine and regulate. A better discipline would
be obtained, and the summary and impartial
punishment that should follow disobedience or
disorder would prevent the repetition of those
things that have brought so much discredit
.-'upon the whole Fire Department.”
Under police matters the message alludes to
a widespread spirit of lawlessness among the
youth of the city, showing itself in stone-fight
ing, street rioting, &c., and recommends the
passage of a law holding the parents directly
accountable for the ill-behavior of their chil
dren when the latter are under the parents’
care and are young in years. Tho erection of
new station-houses, as substitutes lor those in
Union street, Cherry street, Fifteenth street
and SpriDg Garden Hall, and the passage of an
ordinance placing all of the newsboys and
bootblacks under the restrictions of a license,
without charge, and to wear a badge with
proper designation and number, and providing
penalties for not complying with such restric
tions as may be thought proper to be imposed
to insure civility and good conduct, are also re
commended.
Important changes in the Police Department
are suggested, as follows:
“1 approve and commend to you the sugges
tion of the'Chief of Police, that the office of
High Constable be changed, and that instead
of having seven of these officers, confining
themselves to looking after violations of the
ordinances, have three additional detectives
and four Inspectors of Police. The Detective
Department is so important for the detection of
crime—each member thereof giving himself
to that particular study as a specialty, ne
cessarily becoming skilled—that I think the
public interests would be best subserved
by an increase in its numbers; whilst with
regard to those who would be retained
for nigh Constable’s duty, they can,
with the assistance of the proposed inspectors,
attends veiy well to the matter of violations
of ordinances. The corps of inspectors is a
matter of much moment. It is proposed to
create a rank superior to that of lieutenant,
and subdivide the present police districts into
PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1870
tour inspection divisions, placing au~ inspector
in charge of each division, he to be subordinate
•o tho orders of the 'chief, and holding each - in-:
spector responsible for the discipline and per
formance of duty of the force and for the en
forcement of the ordinances in his particular
division. I regard this proposition as an im
provement upon the present arrangement, and
1 recommend the passage of an ordinance pro
viding for the changes, mentioned.
“ The patrol force of the Police Department,
although working with commendable zeal, and
exhibiting an obedience to orders deserving of
much praise, falls short in its numbers to meet
the necessities of this large community. Our
population increases from, year to year, in a
rapid ratio, requiring, for Instance,nearly 5,000
new dwelling-houses last year to supply the
demand, and stretching out the city in every
possible direction, and yet tho number of
police remains the same as for years, nay, abso
lutely less than during the administration of
Hon. Robert T. Conrad, from 1854 to 1850.
Particular attention need only be given to that
part of the report of the Chief which makes
mention of the extended beats which the offi
feers are obliged to cover, and also „to
the comparison between our own and
other large cities, as : to the proportion
of officers to population, in order to convince
the most doubtful of tbe absolute necessity for
an increase of the force; besides, applications
are continually being made to this office for
the appointment of officers to be employed and
paid by citizens residing iu particular neighbor
hoods, to guard their immediate localities. This
ought not to be. The municipal government
assesses a tax upon each citizen for general
police expenses, and he willingly pays it; and
yet the same citizen, for want of municipal
. action, finds tlie necessity to employ a special
officer, and pay him out of his own private
means to perform the duty and aflord the pro
tection which the city, in taxing him, admits
its obligation to provide. And in this connec
tion ailow me to commend to your early con
sideration the propriety of organizing a
mounted police in some of the rural districts,
l’he beats in those localities are necessarily
very large, receiving far less attention than
Other portions of the city,
■. “ The importance of both the Schuylkill-and
Delaware' Harbor Police increases, and in
view of the immense-amount of valuable prop
erty located on and in the neighborhood of the
' Delaware river front, and the necessity for in
creased facilities to euablb that branch of the
police to successfully prosecute its duties, I
recommend, the ptkehase of a police-tug, to
supply the place of rovy-boats. It is impossible
to cover and guard Chegreat distance ancj
length of the built-up portfiyrrs-ofLibe city Qn
the Delaware river front with but two row
boats, and there are other reasons for suggest
ing a change. Such a police-tug should, be
sides the ordinary propelling power, be fur
nished with a steam fire engine, capable of
throwing four heavy streams of water in
case of fire to shipping, or to buildings -in or
near Delaware avenue, and should have power,
with attachments at the side of the hull, for
pumping out sunken or leaky vessels. It should 1
have a secure apartment on board for prison
ers, and sleeping and living apartments for offi-" 1
cers and crew ; it should also carry two boats
—one a cutter, and tlie other a small, light skill'
—and a full set of life-preservers. Especially in
view of tbe purchase of land iu the upper end
J of tlie Twenty-third Ward, for the purpose of
erecting a House of Correction thereon—-in that
connection alone snch a steamer becomes an
absolute necessity, and I,therefore, recommend
tbe passage of an ordinance making an appro
priation for the purpose.” • ,
—City Councils held a stated meeting yes
terday afternoon. Select Branch accepted an
invitation ts participate in the celebration of
tlie Fifteenth Afne’ndment ou Tuesday next.
The Committee on Water reported in favor of
awarding contracts for cast iron pipes, pump
ing engine and turbine wheels to Merrick &
Sons. R. D. Wood, J. F.'Ward, R. D Wood &
Co., James W. Starr & Son, H. R. Worthing
ton and Emile Geysline as the lowest bidders.
Adopted. A resolution directing the Chief
Engineer and Surveyor to proceed with the
erection of a bridge over Pegg’s run at Dela
ware avenue, was agreed to. Also, a resolu
tion requesting the Commissioners of Fair
mount Park to have their meetings open to the
public. - An ordinance appropriating: $75,009
for laying anew water main from the Mt. Airy
reservoir to Tioga street was passed. Com
mon Council resolution creating a ueW division
in Twenty-sixth Ward was concurred in.
Common Branch received a communication
from the Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad
Company, protesting against the opening of Vi
enna street, as it will run through their depot.
The annual message of Mayor Fox was received.
Tlie City Solicitor submitted tbe contracts for
tlie building of a bridge over the Reading Rail
road, at Broad street, and for tlie erection of a
morgue at Beach and Noble streets. Referred to
Finance Committee. President Wagner then
stated that lie desired to make a brief reply to
tire allegation made by Mr. Connell in the
Legislature, with reference to the inability of
Councils to collect the taxes of the city. He
then affirmed that Councils in this matter had
lio power whatever, but are controlled by
the Legislature, which directed how the taxes
should be levied and collected, &c. The .state
ments of Mr. Conneli, he asserted, were either
made in ignorance of the laws which he him
self had made, or were wilful misrepresenta
tions. He made this statement in justice
to the body of which ho was a member,
and in order that the community
might understand the matter. Mr. Huhn of
fered a resolution requesting the Mayor to give
tlie Women’s Branch of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals the right to
take up and exterminate dogs, provided that
the city shall he pul t j no additional expense.
The Society, he said, proposes to kill the dogs
by suffocation, or in some more humane man
lier than at present practiced, and to expend a
considerable amount out «f their own funds to
defray the expenses. Referred to the Police
Committee, with instructions to report next
Thursday. The Select Council ordinance,
making an appropriation for laying a water
main in the Twenty-second Ward; was indefi
nitely postponed. The resolution of request
of the Commissioners of Fairmount Park was
agreed to. Also, the amendments to the House
of Correction ordinance.
_—The extreme lower section of the city,
known as the “Neck,” is again overflowed,
caused by the breaking of the banks on the
Delaware side, below Rope Ferry bridge. All
the meadows and low places are filled with
water to a considerable depth. Stock of all
kinds has been removed to places of safety.
On Wednesday the water was very high, and
rising gradually. Yesterday, however, it was
at. a'standstill, and just before dark it appeared
to be slowly subsiding. The banks broke, on
Tuesday morning, about four o’clock, and in a
comparatively short space of time the country
aiouud for several miles was covered by
an immense sheet of water. In Martins
ville several families have given their bed
rooms up for pig-styes, and their dining
rooms and kitchens they have converted
into cow-pens. The rats, meadow-mice and
vermin have taken refuge in the houses.
The Point Breeze road from Canal street
south is Ridden from view. The track of the
Pennsylvania Railroad connecting with their'
coal wharf at Point Breeze is two feet under!
water. To stand orf Mifflin street, below
Second, and look towards Gloucester, one vast
sheet of water presents itself. The Delaware
at this point is now a grand bay. The in
undated section extends, diagonally to the
Schuylkill, to a point below the Gas Works,

Ills constituents, who thus feel disposed to
honor him with a renominatiou and election.
Tlie Democrats, for form’s sake, will make a

tbe contest bids fair to be a warm and interest

—The correspondent of a morning contem
porary speaks thus of the picture by Fortuney,
the new protege of Goupil’s, at Paris, to which
we have made allusion, and notices Mr. Stew
art’s offer for it: “ The canvas is about three
feet by two in measurement; there are twenty
five figures in all, about five inches iu height.
The subject is the signing of the contract of a
Spanish marriage; the scene is, I understand,
the sacristy of the Cathedral of Ma
drid. The painting of the still life
in the picture is particularly good—the
metal top to the great screen gate, the lamps,
incense-bolders, furniture, &c. They say at
Goupil’s that they have refused sixty thousand
francs for it, that sum having been offered by
an American. Seventy-five thousand francs is,
they say, the lowest price they shall take for it,
and they add that under no circumstances shall
they sell it for a year. This picture will make
the artist a great reputation, at least among
Americans, as there is an incessant stream of
people visiting it, and three out of four among
them are our fellow-countrymen.

A Mistake Corrected.—As a rule, the
Chess editor of tho Albion judiciously confines
himself to clipping from the London News, but
last week, in an effort at originality, it was an.
nonneed that Philadelphia had challenged
Mew York for a match by Telegraph, thereby
implying that Philadelphians were anxious to
play a city which uniformly beaten
at that description of game. The facts are
these: for some time past Chess-players hero
have been bored by impertinent challenges,
communications, &c., from a certain Mew
York clique, and Mr. Jacob Elson, in a.late
letter, thought proper to say that if New York
was really desirous to play, a match could he
arranged. We hope that the next original item
of that remarkable column will possess the
additional merit of accuracy.
An entertaining Tournament has lately
