Wilcox Sc Whiting, their successors or assignors, suoh notice as maybe necessary in law for the ter mination of, their contractfbr the superstructure of the Chestnut-street bridge, with a view of enabling the city to complete the work-at the cost of the con tractors. Beferred to the committee on Surveys, with Instructions to report at the next meeting. The bill from Common Council requiring the Mayor to borrow *600,600 for the benefit of families of volunteers was concurred In. Mr. Baktow (U.i, before voting for the bill, said ■ that the law required members of Qeunolls to assist In this ooffltnlssion. In one ease he knew of a com missioner who had gone off to the oil regions, and the mono' was farmed out to others to distribute, without one of the city’s trustees being present.: Mr. Kiohib (TJ.) now asked leave to Introduce an ordinance appropriating *lOO,OOO for the relief of families of volunteers. Leave being granted, the ordinance was passed. He also called up a bill making an appropriation for the purchase of land In the Seventh ward to build a school-house upon. He said that the school directors had derided that no other suitable lot but the one in question oould be obtained, and the preference to that would not be held long. The bill was passed. ■ Mr Jokes (TJ.) oalled up the blll for-the Improve ment of North Broad street. It provides for the saving of Broad street from Colombia avenue to Germantown road, the owners of property to pay all expenses save that of the intersections, which wM be borne by the city. .. ... Mr. Spbbiko (TJ.) moved to amend so that the city should not be put to any expense. Mr. Bablow (TJ.) thought the motion a very un fair one. He would, while ho sat in this Chamber, vote for any Improvements that would enhance the interests oi the city and elevate the condition of society. Valuable batldings, churches, and schools would spring up in this neighborhood, and the olty would reellEe a handsome sum In taxation. Mr. Zahb (TJ.) said that gentlemen had already built handsome edifices on this street, but couldl not rent them beoause the city would not do Its part . lß StefßWT«at unfaffoess had -been usee about tbis street. One.man had already obtained the consent of a of the tM tiavers. vet he would be thrown out or it ny rue wllnquW the oonsentof a majority of owners. In accordance with the number of feet on the S< Mr!'ZAKE (TJ.) said whoever had the majority of signatures of the owners oould hold the contract, and the courts would give it to him. He moved to amend by inserting that the amount to be paid by the citizens for Intersootlons should not be more than #B,OOO a year for three years. Mr. FbeemaK'lU.) advocated the bill, saying that in winter the bakers’ and victuallers’ wagons could not reaoh tbo houses along the street. The work oould not be done under three joars, the dis tance to be passed being three miles, and no money would be required for a year. „ Without concluding the bill the Council ad journed. COMffIOH BRANCH. President Storlby (U.) in the chair. - RICHMOND.

The reso lutions were adopted. BOUNTIES. A communication was received from the City Bounty Fund Commission, asking for a further ap propriation of ono million of dollars, for ttie con tinuance of the payment of bounties to volunteers. 'The communication states that since the oreatlon of the commission 1 000 men have been enlisted, and there Is a deficiency yet to furnish of 8,000 men. There is remaining In the fond $876 000. Mr. Mabobb (Tf) thereupon offered a resolution authorizing the elerk to pnhllsh the.loan bill of •«1,0c0,c00 for the payment ol bounties to volunteers, which was agreed to. HIGHWAYS. The Committee on Highways offered a resolution authorizing the grading ol Warnock street at a cost not exceeding $169, and Alder street at a eostof $162. Agreed to.' MESSAGE OP THU MA^OR.

FAgT DRIVING, A resolution instructing the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department that fast driving through the streets was In violation of an ordinance, dangerous to the lives of our citizens, and ought to he discon tinued, was adopted. OBBTBUOTIOrfB. A resolution Instructing the Commissioner of Highways to report by what authority the Philadel phia, ‘Wilmington, and Baltimore E allroad Com pany obstruct Broad street, from South to Shlppen, by the plaoing of- large stones thereon, was agreed to. The resolutions from Seleot Council relative to -the capture of Bicbmond, after some discussion, were concurred in. PAIBMOUNT DAM. Mr. Mabobb, (U.) from the Committee on Fi nance, reported an ordinance appropriating $46,000 for making and staking a crib for the strengthening of Falrmeunt dam. Passed. ILLUMINATION. Hr. Evans (IJ.) offered a resolution instructing the Mayor to request the citizens to illuminate their houses on the 14th of thiß month, and that the Gommis&ioner of City Property have the public buildings on Chestnut street, between Fifth and Sixth streets, illuminated at a cost not exceeding S3CG. Mr. Harper (U.) moved to amend to strike out the 14th and Insert such day as the Mayor may ap* point. The amendment eras agreed to. On' motion, the Chamber resolved itself into a committee of the whole for the purpose of conside ring the amount of the appropriation for the pur* pose of the illumination, r Mr, Orbs&w&ll (U.) m the chair. On a motion to amend the resolution by striking cut $BOO and inserting $5OO, the Übair announced -that the vote stood yeas 12, nays 11, and that the re solution was adopted. Several members who voted no asserted that the •Chair had made a mistake in his decision; that there were 12 nays. The committee rose and made their report. On the question of adopting the amendment In the Chamber, those members who voted no in the com mittee refused to answer to their names, and no ‘quorum voted.

'I THE CITY FIWAKOBB. a The fanded debt of the olty on the first of January, 1 :iS6S, amounted to *28,910,48*.62, showing an appa q rent lnorease of $4,228,768,14 daring the previous it year; besides which warrants for $3,863 414,38 upon Ml ltsi. treasury remained unpaid. The Issue of new •w, loans to an extent of $4,802,300, and an excess of ; $12,344 32 over the former estimate were the actual tti additions to the debt, bat $377,880 18 of the old loans ato vrere redeemed or cancelled through the agency of B ■ the Slnlflng Funds. The Increase of the fanded : CM debt, with the exception of $117,000 authorised for the construction of thw Chestnut-street bridge, was ce R wholly due to the payment of bounties lor volun* be 8 tiers In the national service. A part of this debt, - 1 comprising $268,904.68 flvp per oent, and $133,864,46 Shu tlx percent, loans, had matured but had not been Tlifi presented for redemption; while the remainder, la iil" eluding $1,477,878,90 five per eent. and $27,034,846.68 ■Wlll'i six per oenti loans, lMoome payable in annual in i'. 1, stalments of different sums, mostly within the next tne « years. iudici The Sinking Funds, twenty-eight in number, per " t talcing respectively to the oonsoudatod debts of the 118 Baj forme j oor poratlonß and to eaoh loan authorized by in dirlhe present municipality, held at the end of the last , ,ear,aagregate cash balances of $215,678.23,with ample fe rUfioates of city loan to the par.value of $1,466,- •fcrtr ot~3 37, and othor available Boonrlties - that cost $9,- .Mai,9BT.ee, besides various stocks of the nominal Frobabneuntor $1,373,233.00, from the last or which it is ♦n nnll’kabablo that no assets will ever be realized.

If, however, snoh UotmoDts of ownership, whioh diminish ttary power ol eaoh original share in \te control to the extent that like ited in every new purpart, shall be cements of capital, then the shaiss are legitimately Included among the seourities that have been pledged to the creditors of the ojty for re payment of Its loanß. Whatever opinions may be entertained by the Commissioners upon this quo* Hon, the magnitude of the interestconoeraei forbid their assent to any stock from their custody until its ownership shall' bo expressly determined by the Supreme Court* "Wben, In November, an allotment of ten per cent, noon the stock of the Pennsylvania Railroad was onered to Its stockholders, at par, the olty owned 114,067 shares, item entitling them to 11,407 of the new lssne. The constitutional prohibition of any advance of public funds to corporations precluded the olty from availing of suoh privilege In the same manner with other stockholders, hut an arrange ment was concluded with the company upon an es timate of #12,60 per :share, which gave 2,281 new shares, instead of the profits which might have enured to the olty had It actually subscribed for a proportion of the increased capital. The transfer of such stock having been made after the olose of the last year, It does not appear In the present ac counts of the sinking funds,' Upon the consolidation of the several municipali ties, their aggregate tended debt amounted to #16,878,614.77. From that time to the Ist of January, 1866, there has been added #15,688,100 00, but there has been redeemed #3,261,280.26, leaving at the commencement of this year $28,910,484.52 as the entire tended debt then due hy the olty. .The entire Income of the Treasury waß $11,865,- 398 60, which, with a balance from the previous ac count of *580,878.50, made the assets of 1864 amonnt to #11,896,277.16, of which #11,218.649,82 were dis bursed, leaving $677,827 34 credltecrto the current year. The requisite clerical aid haß not been pro vided for the great Increase In the labors or the Olty Treasurer’s office Incident to the recent sys tems of appropriations for bounty to volunteers and for relief of their families. The Insufficiency of .the present number of olerks for the duties of this de partmentls so apparent to those cognizant of its de tails that Councils should at once authorize addi tional appointments. The receipts from the several departments amounted to $846,468.47, and from the dividends upon investments to #666,264.69, which, with the 1% come from taxation of #2,933,848 79, made the ag gregate oi 4,434,881.95 for annnal revenue The in terest (hat aoorned upon the loans and untended liabilities, together with the appropriation to the sinking tends, made the sum of #1,852,110 50, which, viih the current expenses of the departments, amounting to #3,742,472 71, show the ordinary ex penses of the olty government to have been $5,768,- 127.03 for the past year. During that period the sum of *6,543,501.65 was disbursed In bounties to vo lunteers, aid to their families, and In other charges occasioned by the war. The total amount of war rants upon the Olty Treasury was $12,811,028.68, all of which were duly countersigned. Among the payments by the Treasurer were $771,014.85 for war rants prior to 1864, leaving #616.404.47 of similar kind yet due, besides $3,338,009.01 of the;unpaid warrants of that year: THB RECEIPTS FOB TASKS FOB 1864. The receipts for taxes of 1864 amounted to #2,481,869.09,[after allowances 0f.5211,172.21 for early payments as prescribed by ordinance, leaving an amount of $375,287.00 uncoUeeted, of which a re duction will he claimed for duplicate assessments and exempted property of various religious or charitable Corporations. The returns actually collected by tbe Receiver during the past year from registered taxes of prior date were #315,870.69, besides penalties, &0., of *9,868.76, but the Trea surer’s account exhibits the additional receipt of #128,260,62 that wore colleoted from suoh sources at the olose of 1863, and, as noted to ■ my last annual communication, were not comprised In his state, ment for that year. The State tax of 1864 received In that period amounted to $379116,86, and its arrearages of $49,88139 were also collected and paid over to the Treasury of the Commonwealth. THB CITY SOLICITOR. The duties requited, of the Solicitor, have been of mutual extent ard importance. Til© suit of the hairs oi Stephen Girard to recover from the cityS, 600 acres of land la Schuylkill county has been, finally Bottled against the claimants, but pending the docision'of me Supreme Court they were permitted to effect a satisfac tory compromise. The case of thaPennsylyanteKail-- road Company* in which a percentage of dividends payable to the city was withheld upon the aliexftticn of authority under the ordinance of July U 1863. relative to * projected line of ocean steamers (which scheme had in two Instances been vetoed by the Mayor* bat in a third form was aliowea to become a law without his signature, that its constitutionality might be tested)* was determined adversely to the Company,and the amount of $96,492 was thus ch ained for th« trea sury. The power of Councils to..limit the expenditures of the several departments has been judicially affirmed* Tbe claims of the city for taxes upon the dividends of paggenger railways nave recently been decided in Its favor. The proceedings to avoid the payment of Fade. ral revenueUax upon the gas consumed in the public lamps are ©till penning In addition to the professional services rendered in these and other suits at law* the Solicitor’s department hfls collected various claims ©mounting, with inter©# cost,, to $42,456.36* which have been paid over to the treasury. BUKYBYB. The Board of Surveysbave carried on the adjustment of grades and lines, giving their attention mostly to sections within the First, Nineteenth and’Twenty-sixth wards. They have also superintended the construction of new culverts to an extent of 8* 184 feet, which have cost tiie city $26*16199* in addition to $8,328 96 contri buted by Individual owners. The act of April 8.1864* revested tbe corporation'with the power to charge a proportion of theexpence for public sewers upon the properties fronting on their.line. Authorttyhas been conferred for the construction of six culverts at the pub liccost, and forty-four others have been projected by private enterprise - The general supervision of the se veral bridges owned by the city has been maintained, and its results set forth in the annexed report of the Chief Engineer and Surveyor The expenditures for the Chestnut street Bridge had reached, on the Ist of December last, the sum of $300,860.69, and about s2B*-. 600 additional was needed to finish its .masonry. It is probable that the iron superstructure will be .placed in position during tbe current year*but the hindrances in cidental to all public works of magnitude forbid any assurance of its early completions The State Legisla ture of 1861 required of the city the erection of a free bridge over tbe Schuylkill, opposite . South street* its cost being limited to $250,000, payable in certificates of a six per cent, loan that should pass by delivery in the manner of negotiable paper. The construction of.this bridge is not yet w arranted by public necessity, and the limitation of its cost must for the present preclude its undertaking. THB OQHBBOTttrG RAILROAD, A railroad known as tbe "Connecting Railroad*” undertakes fit tbe instance of the Pennsylvania Rail road and the Camden and Amboy Railroad Companies, is In process of construction, commencing at a point on the Trenton Railroad, near Fr&nkford Creek and ter minating near the interiection of Thiriy-teventh street and tbe line of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The route selected for this road has been in wanton disregard of the munieipil surveys and grades, and to the serious detriment of ihe owners of property through which it ; passes. Almost every square qx ground* as. laid down upon the plan of the city intervening between the pro posed terminations of this road* will be diagonally bi sected, and the expense that must be incurred id alte ration of street grades at Us crossing cannot be esti mated. The authorities and citizens of Philadelphia are powerless o prevent an abuse which* through the servility of legislators to corporate influence* will per petuate a lasting wrong upon the city* and will* In all probability* be made tbe means of depriving it of the legitimate advantages of a railroad built mainly with its own capital. HIGHWAY DBPARTMBHT. The receipts of the Highway Department wen $24, - COS 68, ahowibc an increase of $1,949 07 over those ol the previous year. Its unusually lane disbursements of 9413,821.75 included $06,635 87 for deficiencies of 1863, but its expenses of $367,186.88 were $83,632.37 greater than the last annual cost, mostly chargeable to the re pair of streets, roads, and culverts. The occupancy of many of the principal streets by passenger rail* ays has devolved by ordinance the repair of their entire road- : way upon the respective companies. The result of such arrangement, as could have been anticipated, has been the prevalent neglect of the street pavement, ex cept within or immediately acjacent to the rails. The convexity of the street being*deprsseed by the track, and its overground drainage obstructed hy the rails, the water that should tend to the gutters is forced along the centre, thus weakening the solidity of the pave ment and undermining infrequently causing dangerous excavations. The. city should resume its exclusive control of the paving of the streets, imposing upon the. railway companies a due proportion of the expanse, and should moreover require that at suitable• intervals passage way should be made under the rails for the surface draining. Until such legislation be had the city must bear the discredit of ill-paved street*, and its: citizens must suffer inconveniences that will, find no remedy in the cupidity of corporations, with whom public good is of secondary Importance, if, indeed, it be at all regarded, , The bridge at Market street, which had lox g been un cared for, has been put in complete repair, and the one over Penrose Ferry much strengthened, although it yet, needs some addition to its approaches. The annual ex penses of this Department might properly be reduced by dispensing with several of its supervisors, as in many districts there are bnt few streets remaining in their charge A new apportionment of the city into districts of larger area would effect this desirable object. The former duties of the Highway Department have been, greatly modified by the ordinance of February 15. 1864, which took from its care the cleansing of streets and established a new department for such purpose- The controlling idea of this new system of street cleansing, has been to obtain the largest results from expenditures; under the. supervision of offl «iala who ran have no in terest therein conflicting with that of the city. The.un-* varying experience of several years had shown that cleansing by contract was both wasteful and_ ineffec tual, the profits of the contractor arising -not from the quantity of'dirt and refuse that he removed but from the insufficiency of the labor whieh he provided. The Departmentof Street Cleansingwas organized March 1, 18W, and at once assumed the fulfilment of its appropri ate duties. The chief inspector reporters expenses for the latter ten months of the vear to have been $114,*. £61.10 with receipts of $10,099 80 from salas of street dirt and ashes. Duffing such period of its operations 71,180 cart loads of airt and 72,004 of asheswere removed to places ol sale or depcsit, in which work 120 men and iOocarts were steadily employ ed. It has hitherto been impracticable to comply implicitly with the require ments of the ordinance regulating this department,, mainly owing to the higher wages that the services of; man and horse could elsewhere obtain, notwithstand ing all the obstacles which interested patties have throws in the way of this new system, and the difficulties against which it has had to contend relative to laborers and finances, its results have been more thorough and economical than those of any previously - attempted street cleansing since the consolidation of the city. FAIBMOUNT PARK, ETC. The improvements at Fairmount Park have rapidly progressed under the supervision of the Commissioner of City Property, Mid numerous attractions have been added to it duffing the past year. ir?rojeci for enlarging this park by including the ewitha tract of land adja cent to the opposite bask of the Schtylklll, and for de volving its control upon a permanent Board of Com missioners, was submitted to the State Legislature, but failed to obtain Its sanction. There werg several ios turn or the propored measure that should have entitled it to favor. Its enactment would have secured the pos session of a property peculiarly adapted to the requb sites of a park that may not hereafter,be acquired, and thus would have avoided its occupancy for purposes that may mar thelandscape. or taint the water supplied to the city. The permanency of the commission would have insured unity of design In the laying out and em bellishment of the irounds, and would have prevent ed those-frequent changes of management which, al ways retard the prosperity of public works. These considerations might have warranted a moderate in crease of the funded debt for the accomplishment of so desirable an ob ect The other public squares and parks have been kept up without any marked improve ments. It is worthy of consideration whether the whole area of Independence Square, excepting the space Immediately around each tree, should not belaid with gravel. The frequent public meetings that are held in that square destroy its soddlng. and keep it in ■an unsightly condition, whilst the health, and eomfojrt of those who attend such assemblages Would be pro moted by the substitution of a compact surface. Many of the halls and other buildings owned hr the city, notwithstanding their continual repair, are being dilapidated, to the great depreciation of their market able value. Sale should be effected without unreason able delay of all such properties that ore not required for official use. ■ MARKETS. The rental of mbrket stalls produced $45,706.75, and that of wharves $49,018 40, being a decrease of $502 II in their aggregate infc. me The extension of the wharf at Race street has been directed by an ordinance of Oc tober, 1863, and will be completed at ml early date.. I renewthe suggestion of my last annual message that the city should adopt a compulsory system of »pacific rates of wharfage or dockage, and time prevent the ex actions and uncertain charges which discourage the owners of vessels from consigning them to this port. OITY RAILWAYS. By ordinance of May 18, 1863, the Superintendent of City Railroads was directed to remove the rails belong ing to the city upon Broad street between Olive and South streets subsequently to the first of October fol lowing. Before this order could be complied with, an injunction was had from the Supreme Court at the suit of the Beading Railroad, (a similar process having been refused to the Philadelphia and Baltimore Railroad.) by which the city has been restrained from effecting the intended removal. The result of such prohibition has been to retain the use of property along this portion of Broad street for the coal trade, and thus to delay the erection of buildings that probably would have adorned the chief-avenue of Philadelphia. The tolls collected upon freiikt passing over the city tracks yielded 914,290.62 being slightly an excess of the preceding annual Income. NEW BUILDINGS. The Buildihg Inspectors report the erection during the Hit year of l»6od>ui)4inis, of which 1,166 were for , the others mostly for industrial pursuits, Including, however, a few designed for purposes of education or religion. The decrease in the number of new dwelling* from the returns for 3863 was 1,299, or more than 100 per cent, and must be attributed to the S&ffiifa* i£iid%t. to tke Pri««of .ii OITYICB-'BOAT, * season it was laid up temporarily at Gloucester In conse quence of the urgency of the Navy Department for the use of its wbarf at Prime street. In September last, upon examination preliminary to the ordinary annual repairs, it waß apparent that the boat was so extensively damaged by dry rot that it must either be'co&demned or almost entirely rebuilt. It was, after full considera tion. deemed most expedient to »«OPt thelaiter course, aud by the expenditure of about $30,000 it has been thoroughly renovated. WATBB. In mere than one previous annual communication I wants of the community, but for those which maybe uitl.lc.ted from the steady growth ot the oto n» Average daily production of the Water- Works in 1854 was 1t,7C0,?86 gallons; in 1864 the like average of 25,* 489,461 gallons was furnished by them,'and yet on seve ral occasions duffing the past summer this large yield proved insufficient; and had the capacity or the mains been adequate to convey the- quantity demanded of them the reservoirs must have been exhausted. I re new the suggestion that a copunisslon of men be entrusted with the investigation of this subject in all its bearings, \ It Is too ab»truß» for tbe unfnstrneted legislation of Councils, while its importance to the safety andbeatih of tl e city should forbid any long©* aeelect The ssrv.ee pipes laid during 1884 measured about seven miles* making an extent of 364 mUesof pipes now connected with the. *everal water works. The dam at Faiimonnt has recently undergone repair; but, in tbe opinion of the Chief Engineer. Its Perma nency can only be secured by entire The revenue from water rents, Ac , amounted to $610*112 67* being $40,616.28 more than was received from the same sources in 1863, while tbe expensesof tiieDepartment* in common with those ol other branches of the public leiviee, were disproportionately enlarged by the un* wonted prices of ail supplies, without, however, diminishing its net income below that of the year pre vious. Tl 8 public lamps of too city number »t present 7,399, of -whiti 168 hare recent!* been added; batlBof too entire number are supplied with burning fluid, thß re mainder being lighten with gas; .and pay mentof 984.24 was made by the city to the Tnistees of the Gas Works for their repair and supply during the nast year. The street mains connected with theFbUadelpMaGas Works extend 459 miles In aggregate teM* I *, betides -which are 146 miles of service, pipes: of these connec tions, 8 miles of the former and 8 of the latter were pro vided by the Trust since the last report. The Gas Works supply nearly 695,C00 lights* including all used for public snd private convenience..* The gas - manufactured in 1864 measured 794 millions of cubU foot. Tn&liue. with the product of former years* “total of 7,700 mUlions cubic feet since the works have been in operation. An ordinance for the pur chase of the northern Liberty Gas Works* and for their union with the property of the Trustees of the Philadelphia Gas Work#* was adopted by Councils in December last, but for reasons assigned by the Mayor did not receive his signature. To obviate the probability of such project being again prevented by a similar exercise of official power; an sot was obtained from the Legislature at their recent session, empower ing a majority of Councils to pass an ordinance creating a loan of |a6o,9oo, v with which the desired purchase can be accomplished. Without adverting to the Inexpedi ency of assigning more duties to a trust that is already too'overgrown and unwieldy for the good of the com munity, this resort to special legislation must be re garded as an unwist precedent* and as destructive of conficence in the due limitation of the funded .debt of the city, if the restrictions of the power of Councils to create new debt can be removed whenever the Interest or pleasure of a few individuals shall dictate such mea sure. The trustees of the Gas WorkB received.s2,o9l,- 840.87, and expended $2,063,468.84 in ihe management of the tnut during the past year The Fire Department comprises 39 steam fire-engines* 26 hand-engines (moss of which are in the rural dis tricts). 113 hose-carriages, and 7 hook- and-ladder trucks, with oth*r necessary apparatus and equipmen & The location of seven new steam fire-engines wasrau thoriied by Councils, of which but one, that was un questionably needed for the better protection of property in the Twenty*first ward, received the assent of the: Mayor. The fire-alarm telegraph has been extended to the houses of 72 companies* and will probably be placed in others where it may be most usefni. The Stale House, bell has, since March of the last year, ceaiedto give or-, dtoary alarms of fires occurring between six o’clock in tie morning end ten o’clock in the evenin*—a regula tion which haß approved itself to the by the comparativ e quiet that now attends the extinguish ment of fires In iheiiay time, from the! absence of the noisy and useless concourse formerly attracted from all part* of the city by the sound of the central alarm. Thenmbnlances owned by. several of the compinioß. , 33 In number, have continued their humane aid in the removal of sick x>r wounded soldier*? and the sys tematic aid'ever ready assistance thus afforded has; redounded to the honor of our city, as one of the many f , earnest manifestations of kindnefis and "’imthrXor those fighting,the battiee ofonr«>un trybrwhich this community has bten expenses of the 1 Department were $9**610.78, being an. increase of $11,631 C9 # ov*r the cost ol the.previous year. The quantity of wat« that can be had in any part of the city remote from a river, will suffice only for a limited number of steam fire-eagines. and-if unduly distributed among too many will prevent all efficient results, as incontestably proven In. repeated.lnstancss. In view ot the continuous additions of steam fire engines to the present excessive number* the only • means by which their efficiency may be preserved will be In redistTicting the city Into more numerous and ematier section s, and prohibiting such apparatus from service in any but the appoiuted limita, without special order from the Chief Engineer, under penalty of sus pension from the Department. . SCHOOLS* The public schools during the last quarter of 3861 had upon their registers the names ol 7 1. 888 -pupils in at tendance. and of 8,297 applicants whose admission was denied for want of accommodations. The city owns 98 school edifices, and p&yi $36,68! lentfor 121 other build in es occupied for educational-use Aloft* of $1,000,090 was authorized 'on the Ist of December last for school purposes, and its expected proceeds apporhonedAmong the several sections, but the proviso of its negotiation at not less than par must for a while render U unavail • - able. The expenditures of the Board ordontroi during 1864 amounted to $822*665 86, of which were derived from the annnal State appropriation*. The ob vious deficiency in the existing system of public edu cation is its neglect of physical training. The esta blishment of public gymnasia, under suitable regula tions, would supply this great and dally increasing want. The city in its rapid growth is overspreading the resorts for exercise and amuiements, -and most of the youth of this community. are witaout opportunity to Indulge their natural energy other than is offered in; the public highways. Apart from the direct benefit to the health and the improved associations that would attend the frequenting of each gymnasia* as the advantages of military instruction, that might be afforded there, the community would-Bain, greatly by the withdrawal from the streets of the boys who now disturb the pnblie peace and trespass upon private rights, rather through the irrepressible aetivity of young life than in wanton mischief or disorder. I com mend this suggestion to eaineit, consideration, under the conviction that the order,.economy, and best in terests of a community are intimately dependent upon tbe provision that it makes for the physical equally with the moral and mental education of its youth. G£RARI> COLLEGE. The Girard College for orphan! has maintained and inßiructed an average number of 560 pupils, and has re quiredsll2,2s2.6l for its support during the past year, whatever changes may fiom time to time be made by the popular will in the choice of municipal authorities, this institution should be held aloof from all partisan measures. The policy of its’management to be effective must be definite and persistent, and this can only be assured by greater permanency iu the tenure,of its di rectors than is now provided., The admission of .a greater number of orphans than those now sharing its advantages cannot be accomplished for some time hence; with due regard to the income of thje trust The re ceipts of the Girard estates during 1861 from all sources amounted to $228,811.60, to which was added the balance of $13.C03 49 Irom the preceding annual ac count—the disbursements for the'expenses of the Col lege and other charges were $230,683 <27, leaving $11,131.82 to the credit of :the fund. Upwards of s6i,ofo is yet due from the income account to one of the specific trusts for advances made towards the improvement of Broperty on Brown street. The income from the col« cries of the ©stale were but sll,os. 87, and it cannot reasonably be estimated at more than $10,0(30 for the current year. CITY COMMISSIONERS. The appropriate duties of the City Commissioners have teen performed by their revision of irregularitiaii in the valuation of property, and in their payment of assessment expenses and those incidental to the several courts and law offices, besides Bptciar public institutions and other purposes. Among such expenditures was that of $47,738 01 for the popular elec tions held in August, October, and JEfevemoer. War ffis were by the-pepartmeni for $309,086.93, being a decrease o£.s2 884.71 as compared with the pre ceding annual accounts* The admissions to Blockiey Almshouse during 1861* inclusive of 163 births, were 6.C02, and the dischargee during tiie same period 4,68), leaving a population of % &S, or SS2 in excess of that with which the year com ment d. The average number of ihmateswas2,466, being 86 less than by the preceding annual report. The chil- asylum received 269, aud retained 161;0r64 found lings brought to the Institution, 52 died whilst there. The Insane Department had 898?attmite under treatment, ol whom £B2 remained: and in the hospital6,Bls cases were treated, of which 5.465 were cured, 632 died, aud 555 were left is the wards, the others being relieved and discharged. The expenditures for house purposes were $28f#661.72, and for out-of door demands $81,237.19, which, with $83.41316 for improvements and repairs, amounted to $399,262.07, while the.receipts were $l5 - 617.10, making the net cost of theTLlmshouse $157,£53."32 beyond the like expenses in 1863 for its maintenance. A deduction of the proper house receipts from the gene ral expenditures shows the average weekly cost of each inmate to have been $2 20& or 70$ cents beyond that of the previous year, Such increase Is readily accounted for by the advance in price of all articles of food and clothing, which comprise the chief expenses of the In stitution, and cannot be attributed to any mal-admini- Stratton. HEALTH, . Although the statistics of the Board of Health are ap parently complete and well digested, there are disturb ing influences which in a large degree detract from their value foi comparative estimates. The number of Interments within the city limits were 17,683, an in crease of 1,794 over those reported in 1863; but of these there were still-born cases 788. removals to the city 919, and 1,698 soldiers who deceated In the military hospi tals, leaving the mortality justly attributable to the city but 14,277 for the last year. The number of births registered for that period were 16,691, but there is reason to apprehend that only par tial returns were made. The marriages numbered 6,752, being 1,278 in excess of those on the last annual records. . Vaccination has-been gratuitously provided fori, 709 persons, but a large number of the oommunifcy.necleot or refuse to avail of its preventive aid. The expedi ency of compulsory vaccination has engaged the con sideration of many who are interested in the promotion of sanitary . schemes, and such- measure .mav well be deesed analogous to those-appaiwVinmagemeiitß of individual rights which have long been sanctioned by legislation, and common consent as essential to the ge neral welfare. - . MUNICIPAL HOSPITAL. The commissoners appointed -under the ordinance of November 24, 1862, for the erection of a Municipal Hospital, have completed the hospital building and its appuxtenances>located,betweenTwentieshandTwentT-' first streets, Lehigh avenue and Hart’s lane, in the Twenty-first ward. The payments to the architect and contractor durli g the year were $34,030 06, and the sum of $377.12 defrayed all incidental expenses of the com mission, , PRISON. The inspectors of the County Prison report the com mitment of 8,644 male and 6 423 female prisoners daring the past year, showing a decrease of 2,450 in the former and of 917 in the latter class of inmates from the last annual returns. The'expenses of the institution, inclu *lve of the maintenance of the Debtors* Apartment, 560;429.88, and it? revenue $18,231:75, mpsfcly from the sale' of manufactures. The annual cost of the pri son was $8,381.04 beyond that of lBo3>an increase not commensurate with the advanced price of aU supplies, and ihat must have been much greater, but for the just economy which has regulated its management. CITY WARRANTS. The warrants issued from the office of the Mayor num bered 36,807* tor the aggregate sum of $7,581,110.10 of which but $671,462.86 were chargeable to the Police De partment, the remainder been disbursed for public lights, construction ol the Municipal Hospital, bounties and relief of volunteers* and other special purposes. - 7 THE. POLICE, But few changes have occurred during the past, year ih the organization of the police force." An increase of one hunured patrolmen took place on the first of Feb ruary of the current year, and as now constituted the force is made up by a Chief of Police', Fire Marshal, Chief of Detectives, 8 detective., 7 high"constable., 18 lieutenant., 88 .ergeants, 8 dar telegraph operators, 687 patrolmen, 16 turnkey., 8 park and 10 harbor police—B3l in all- , ■ , .

The number of fires occurring within the city was 884. of which 46 were attributed upon investigation, to design* more frequently o f a mischievous than a ma licious character The value of the property destroyed Was estimated at $999,249, of which $546,277 were cover ed by insurance. The Fire Marshal reports nine explo sions ol steam boilers during 1664, resultiagin two In stances in loss of life. The Legislature of the State, to prevent the recurrence of such calamities, passed bu act to authorize the appointment of Inspector of Stationary Steam Engines within the city, and made it a penal offence to use such engines after July 1, 1864, that had net been duly examined, empowering Councils to adopt all needful regulations for the duties of such officer, within the time fixed by the act the Mayor nominated to the} Select Council a skilful and competent citizen to be the Inspector of Steam Engines, but each nomination .was never acted upon, nor have Councils yet taken any ’ measures to cairy out the provisions of a law designed and well calculated to secure the property and lives of ■■ citizens from the carelestness or. cupidity of persons em ploying steam power. . BTOBAQE ON PETROLEUM. In my former annual message allusion was made to the urgent need of legislative re ttrictions upon the sto rage and transportation That urgency THE PEEKSi-THTT;Ar>Kf,rHIA. FRIDAY. ATOII. 7, 1865 has at last been rensedied- by the recent LegUlaiure, bat sot until the sacrifice of several lives, uuoer cir cumstances of appalling horror, had made each con* cession to the public welfare too necessary to be longer refused. The police and fire* alarm telegraph has transmitted £7,103 messages during 1664, being a large Increase in comparison with its operations of the preesdlng year. Through its ate 8,428 lost children were restored to their htmts, and 1,667 missing individuals sought for,m most instances with t atlsfaetory resnlti, besides which it has in numerous wars not'only'facilUated the business of the several departments, but has greatly conduced, to the common convenience. The experience of nine' rears has given abundant proof'of its effective agency. Its value will always te commensurate with Its ex tension, and to the police economy of a wide-spread city its services are indispensable. The system, through skilful adaptation and intelligent supervision, has atiained a completeness that cannot be excelled. Inreviewing the police administration of Philadel phia during the past year I cannot refrain from com mending the readiness and fidelity with which its duties' have been fulfilled. The'deserved confidence of this community in the efficiency of the police forde has been conservative of public quiet in recent times of general excitement. Although the services frequently d© manded of its c fleers have been unusually arduous, they have been responded to with alacrity; and whilst tending the immedlate care of the city, they have al* ways zealouslv atslsted in whatever might promote the advantage of the General Government. The necessity for a house of . correction is more urgent sow than at any former time. Its organization was long since directed by State legislation, and only awaits funds from the city for purchasing a suitable site and erecting proper accommodations* The founding of this Institution is of vastly more concern to the wellbeing of the city than the extenßion.of a few more streets; and if but a put of the money so lavishly voted from the pub lic treasury for the aid of individual enterprise could be appropriated for this beneficent purpose, its advantages •would soon be secured. * BOUNTIES, The Commission appointed under ordinance of De cember 12th, 1£63, to award the city bounties to volun teers enlisted to the credit of its quote, having certified the daimsof2o,444 recruits. In whose favor warranto for $6,760,000 have been leaned. The enlistments which they leporfwereft 982 for one year; 226 for two years, 16,822 for three, and 181 for four-years* service. The comprehensive and lucid report of the Commissioners exhibits the measures to which-the City has resorted during the past and former years to comply with every requisition for the military services of Its people, and affords the evidence that Philadelphia has contributed previously to the current year 64,600 volunteers for long terms of enlistment in.the national forces, and 1&CC0 others on occasions of temporary emergency. By an ordinance of Hay 12th, 1864, a commission of five citizens was authorized to examine the'claims of veterans who had re-enlisted to r tfce credit of the city and received its municipal bounty but had failed to re ceive the surnß.offered by the' citizens of the several wards, and upon due proof to award to them the extra payment of twenty* five dollars each. The names of 8,600 volunteers are entered upon the recordsof this commission as apparently entitled to its consideration, of whom only 1,721 had during the past year received payment In addition io the duties designated. in the ordinance underwhlch the commis sion was appointed, the payment of fifty dollars to every person mastered into the united ot&tei service for one hundred days was entrusted to them, by sup- E lenient of June 8.1864, in accordance wherewitn-they ave disbursed $l4O, £BO upomsuch account. _ The arduous duties devolved.upon the members of the two bounty fund commissions caun< t be rally known by the community, in whose behalf they have labored gratuitously with zeal* constancy, and effi ciency that may notbe surpaesoe. : , The number of warranto awarded for bounties prior to tbe Ist of January, 1866, and issued from the Mayor’s office, was £0.831, for the aggregate of $6. £47,42117. From this number 4C6 have for satisfactory causes been' returned to the Mayor and cancelled, thus saving $112,899 to the general account. The additional war rants for bounty purposes issued previously to the Ist of April sumbeied 4,384, and the sum of $1;589,817.41 thusarawn upon the treasury. BELIEF FOB FAMILIES OF' VOLUNTEERS. The Commission for the relief of families of volun teer has bees enlarged by the appointment of two ad ditional members. In the discharge of its duties $624,* 743 02 haye been directly paid to'those entitled to its aid, and $26,086.54 have beenotherwise disbursed, mskingth*»mountofs2.27o 724 96 for which tho war rants of the Mayor have been issued to this Commission since its organization, the first year of Mft war. The ‘‘Borne Gaard” of this cHyhas been virtually disband ed by the provisions of the re lent militia law of the State, The arms and equipments purchased chiefly for their use are carefully kept in the City Arsenal. The disbursements under the supervision of the Committee op Defence were $24,652,67, lor all expenses incident to military purposes. The embarrassed state of ti e treasury, that has for a while prevent** the prompt payment of warrants from the severe! departments, is mainly due to the large and sudden increase of the funded debt, not I through apprehension of the present or prospective security of that debt, but 'because the available means of tbe treasury have been, put in requisition for'purpoees of the new loans In advance of their negotiation; The taxes assessed for the year 1864 could not'yield a revenue that, with other municipal* income, might by an? possibility suffice for its expendi tures. and the general increase of salaries, and of the; cost of all supplies, has concriouted to swell the deficit. The liabilities thus incurred might have been managed without seriously diiorc ering the treasurjr, had not the Incessant demands for the payment of bounties drained all Us sources of temporary relief.. The perturbed con dition of the general finances must somewhat retard that adjustment of the floating debt of the city, which is essential not osly to its economy but to its repute. « * It is, in the meanwhile, chiefly ,dependent upon the : pallcy of Councils whether public confidence in the se curities of the city shall be maintained, of whether its credit shall be depreciated The estimated revenue of the present year can only, by the most rigid economy, prove sufficient for the no cesrary expense* of the city government. .The recent legislative acts for the more, certain and equal assess * ment of taxes, that k duly complied with, most in the future y ield important ft suits, can afford no imme diate financial aid. The loans of the city remaining unsold are in larger amount than will probably be negotiated for months to come, and when issued will enlarge to the* eum of $3MC0,030, the funded debt of Philadelphia. It is under such circumstances the obvious duty c f-Councils to abstain from any increase of this large indebtedness, at least for local pur poses. The profuse expenditures of recent years that have alike characterized individual and eorporafce’flnancas must soon.be checked. The restoration of national peace will: do away with the excitement and uncertainty that have induced a general extravagance. The annual interest of the large debt, whose prlncipalhas been devolved upon thenext generation, must press heavily upon the indus try and resources of those for whoselmmediate behalf it has been created, and move than ever before will this community demand of its representatives a strict ac ceptability for the use of powers with which they have been entruited. The late signal and glorious success of our arms, giving assurance of the speedy overthrow of the rebel lion. demands an unfeigned and hearty recognition of the goodness of Providence in blessing the efforts of this Stople for the restoration of national unity and power. ut beyond such cause or general thankfulness to Al mighty God, the prosperity, peace and health which Be has so plentifully, bestowed upon this community during tbe past year should call forth our special grail* tilde, and beget a sense of entire dependence upon His will for the future safety and welfare of our city. .AIiBXAIfDSK HENBT.
