SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL: Austin, Texas, March 31st, 1923.

The Mayor laid before the Council the following budget for the year 1923: BUDGET FOR THE CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS, FOR THE YEAR.A.D. 1923. To the Honorable City Council, Austin, Texas, March 1, 1923. City of Austin, Texas. Gentlemen: I submit below a budget of the City of Austin for the year 1923, of which I ask your approval: --- Page break --- ESTIMATED INCOME From Ad Valorem Taxation in the General Fund -------- $348,200.00 From Ad Valorem Taxation in the Interest and Sinking Fund---- 191,160.00 Total Income from Ad Valorem Taxation for all municipal purposes (exclusive of the schools) is ----------------- $539,360.00 Income from Ad Valorem taxation in support of the Public Free Schools is $206,220.00. As this fund is not disbursed by this Council, further mention of it will not be made in this Budget. Income from the Water, Light and Power Plant is -------- $630,000.00 Cash on hand in other funds January 1, 1923 ---------- 50,942.09 Income from miscellaneous sources, as Licenses, Corporation Court, Hospital, Public Utility Corporations, Power Rentals, etc. ---------------------------------------- 53,267.00 Total Estimated Income of the City (exclusive of the Public Free Schools) for the year 1923 is -----------------$1,273,569.09 The income from Ad Valorem taxation for the year 1922 roll is based upon assessed values of $36,000,000.00. The rate of taxation for general purposes as fixed by the City Council is one dollar on the one hundred dollars. As about 92% of the Ad Valorem taxes is collected each year, I have calculated for realization at that rate, which shows that we will collect about $348,200.00 for the General Fund from this source, hence my budget is arranged accordingly. Income for the Interest and Sinking Fund is calculated at the rate of realization used above. The rate of taxation is fifty-five cents on the one hundred dollars. I expect an income from this source of $191,160.00. But for further details, I respectfully refer you to the accompanying table, showing Estimated Receipts and apportionment of same for the year 1923: (See next page) --- Page break --- ESTIMATED RECEIPTS AND APPORTIONMENTS OF SAME FOR THE YEAR 1923.
