Exchange on several occasions reaching a volume of
nearly 700,000 shares per day, while the actual sales were

What is

reasonably to he expected out of these

of assessments, which almost cost more
than they can ever be worth? The best way to come
at this is to review the assessment account up to
arrears

January 22, 1879.

This reads

as

follows:

A. Total amount for which assessment
bonds were issu d
B. Total amount of assessments

In this balance due of $1,588,676. the interest

to about $200,000.
It is concluded that $1,250,000 is
a reasonable net sum to be expected out of the back
assessments.

The total debt of the city January, le79, was
