City finances show improved condition with needed reforms
The Finance Committee commends Councilman John L. Hechmer and City Clerk W. C. Hanway for thorough work on the city finances. It notes an outstanding debt around $20,000 from prior administrations and a plan to wipe it out with current revenues and a 1911 levy, then discontinue the 10c debt levy. The report cautions poor bookkeeping, missing records, and discrepancies in cancelled orders. It calls for an accounting system, regular settlements with the City Collector, and improvements in water rent collections, including quarterly inspections and corrected schedules to ensure accurate billing and enforcement. The council aims to implement these measures to recover revenue and prevent further losses.
