NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA,
———
Nevada is probably the only city in the
fund, and that has neither scrip nor bond
debt,with about $426 balance in the Gener__course work required by the city may be

“town financially, is partially the result of
. providing for the acquisition of Govern~werk of Shly a minute, and a purse conal Fond, and our citizens rejoiee inthe’
motto of the City Fathers should be “Rigid,
economy in the management of business, @
and cash payments hereafter.” By such a:
more cheaply done, and the town will be‘
-g#ade a desirable place for business. or
The present prosperous condition of our
economy and the revenue derived from
the government titles to city lots. As our
citizens are aware, 8 -years ago the city was
several thousand dollars in debt. By an
tof Legislature the rate of taxation Was
leit in order.to liquidate the indebtedness. This, during the two years, made
quite a considerable decrease, and the law
ment titles to city lots levied amueh heavier
tax than was required to pay the. expenses,
and also made provision for the transfer of
the surplus from the Land to the General
Fund, after paying expenses, Under this
law $1,000 was transferred at the last meeting of the Board. After paying all scrip
outstanding and demands of every nature
against.the General Fund, there remaips a
surplus of $420 in that Fund. The balance
in all the funds standing as follows:
General Fund = $42000
Fire Fund + $895 66
Land Fund + . +. $795 00
Total cash in Treasury $2,110.66
In addition to this there remains uncollected on the Land Fund from $1,000 to
$1,500, a large part of which will be paid
before: the,expiratien of thirty days.
cording to this figuring the assets of the
city at the beginning of next year may be
safely estimated at $4,000. This being true,
the property tax for the General Fund might
salely be omitted altogether, or at least
greatly teduced. &
It is.a matter of congratulation that’ the
city is 1p. so healthy .a. financial, condition, +
and now, near the beginning of a change in
the administration, an effort. should be
made to secure the services of the best business men a8 Trustees, The same caution
exercised’ih the management of the affairs
of a corporation is seldom used when money
is on hand-as is necessary where debts are
heavy, and, in this. view, it is sometimes
claimed that a debt is beneficial to Government. Butno one would argue for such
4 proposition if business is well managed,
and in the hands of good business men.
Let the citizens of Nevada determine to
seeure the services of men identified with
the city thoroughly honest.and competent,
andthe city need never be obliged in the
futuxe, to issue a single dollar of scrip.
Bold Robbery. .One of the boldest robberies evercommitted in this city was perpetrated at the
bakery of Julius Dreyfuss on Sunday night.
Mr. Dreyfuss closed up about 9 o’clock in
the evening and went home, and between
that time and I o’clock, when Fritz commeneés baking his morning’s bread, some .
rogues entered by the front door, which is
only fastened by an ordinary lock. They
went to a closet-in the back part of the store,
and after lightiug a candle went to work.
Cutting around the jam of the door was the
taining $25 in half dollars was taken from
the shelf. , & bank box was then open
with Dreyfuss can opener, from Which
$500 in ‘currency, belonging to Henry Smith
of the’Cascadés, by whom it was deposited
with Dreyfuss, was taken. The light by
which these men operated.could: plainly be
seen from the street, as the large windows
in the front doors are not obstructed even
by acurtain. The robbers must-have; been
entirely familiar with the place, as they got
their tools on the premises.As the store
was 80 Gpéri to view from the street, and a
man slept on the premises Mr. Dreyfuss
felt, perfectly secure against robbery. This:
‘bold and successful robbery demonstrates
that waluablds.are not secure under any
circumstances, unless in the vault of a bank
