" The above resolution was read and upon motion of Councilman Wolf, the same was adopted by the following vote: Ayes, Councilmen Bartholomew, Gillis, Mayor Miller, and Councilman Wolf, 4; naye, none; Councilman Alford absent, 1. The following preliminary financial report of the City Manager for the year 1934 was read and approved: "Austin, Texae January 17, 1935. Hon. Mayor and City Council City of Austin Austin, Texas. Gentlemen: The accounts of the City for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1934, have been closed and I submit to you herewith the following summary which indicates that the cash position is the best on record and that total expenditures for all purposes were well within the budget appropriations made by the Council at the beginning of 1934. Also, revenue receipts from all sources in nearly a11 савев ехceeded the budget forecasts. For comparison, the balances in each fund at the close of the fiscal years 1933 and 1934 were as follows: Dea. 31, 1934 General Fund - Interest & Sinking Fund (Bonded Debt) Water, Light & Sewer Fund Deo. 31, 1933 $ 52,820.58 $ 51,738.51 212,146.54 237,103.76 278,467.89 301,052.20 $ 543,434.01 $ 589,894.47 : Total Cash on hand Current Funds The cash balance at the olose of 1934 was approximately $46,000.00 more than at the close of the previous year (1933) and that balance was itself about $200,000.00 greater than any previous year. A number of contibuting factors were responsible for this excellent showing, among which were: 1. The efficient supervision and careful control exercised by the Department Heads and oity employees generally over departmental operations and expenditures which resulted in all General Fund expenditures being $21,765.39 lese than budget appropriations and Water, Light and Sewer Expenditures being $89,322.45 1еss than budget appropriations. This is illustrated by the following figures: 27 29 Appropriations 1934 General Fund Interest & Sinking Fund $ 760,253.71 498,031.75 Water, Light & Sewer Fund 892,196.13 $2,150,481.59 Expenditures 1934 $ 738,488.32 498,031.75 802,873.68 $2,039,393.75 2. The fact that 1934 budget revenue estimates were generally exceeded, which is a tribute to the citizens of Austin. Their ability and willingness to meet their tax, utility and other payments to the City are highly commendable under the adverse conditione existing and few cities in the United States can point to such a financial record. Without such public support Austin might well find itself with a deficit instead of a cash balance. Estimated and Actual Revenues were: General Fund - Interest and Sinking Fund Water, Light and Sewer Fund Estimated Revenue 1934 $ 726,307.06 501,771.25. 797.709.19 $2,025,787.50 Actual Revenue 1934 $ 781,792.11 520,558.01 866,595.69 $2,168,945.81 The revenues and balances are more than encouraging when it is remembered that the income of the City in 1934 was cut approximately $157,000.00 a year, meaning that the public paid this amount less than heretofore for the cost of the operation of their municipal government. This saving to the public annually was divided as follows: Annual Saving 15% reduction in assessed values of improvements for tax ригровев $ 96,000.00 10% discount on electric bills paid within 15 days from billing date 49,000.00 Reduction in rates on water during summer months 12,000.00 Total Yearly Reduction $157,000.00 In making this report to you of the 1934 finances it is pertinent to note the prospecte for the 1935 fiscal year just beginning. The 1935 budget, which has been duly adopted by the Council, is based on conservative revenue estimates and adequate expense allowances so far as we can determine to the best of our ability. The new budget apparently is safely balanced and provides for an additional saving to the public of $119,000.00 per year in the form of $69,000.00 reduction in electric rates and $50,000.00 reduction in tax rates. This, together with the $157,000.00 reduction to the public in 1934 (and of course carried forward into 1935) bringe the total annual saving to $276,000.00. This has not and will not be done at the expense of needed departmental operations nor have the municipal services been in any way eliminated or even curtailed. In fact most departments have been expanded and every effort made to increase their efficiency and service to the public. Adequate maintenance and upkeep of all oity properties 18 being carried on and provisions made for betterments and extensions where the normal growth and expansion of the City would make such improvements eitheт песеввату or desirable. For instance, both from current funde and from Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works Funde, extensive improvements will be carried on during 1935 in the Water, Light and Sewer Systeme and Plants. Other permanent improvements proposed include a Public Market Building, Nurses' Home, Park and Playground Developments and others of equal importance to other divisions of the City Government. This is submitted to you in the nature of an informal preliminary report, as the annual report covering all departments is in process of preparation and will be published at the close of the audit now being made. In conclusion, please allow me, on behalf of all of the City Departments, to thank the Council for their cooperation and assistance in carrying on impartially and effectively the manifold and complicated operations involved in managing the City's business. Respectfully submitted, (Sgå) Guiton Morgan Oity Manager. In approving the above report of the City Manager, Councilman Bartholomew stated that, as a member of the Oity Council, he felt very proud of said report, but called attention to the fact that two very essential items had been omitted therein, viz., that, in spite of the very splendid showing made in said report, the City of Austin has furnished a tremendous amount of lighting and fire protection without cost. Oity Manager Morgan was instructed to have said report published in full in the daily nеwврарета. There being no further business, Councilman Gillis moved to recess, subject to call of the Mayor. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes, Councilmen Bartholomew, Gillis, Mayor Miller, and Councilman Wolf, 4; nays, none; Councilman Alford absent, 1.

Bartholomew, Simon Gillis, Mayor Tom Miller, and Councilman Oswald G. Wolf, 5; absent, none. Upon motion of Mayor Miller, the reading of the Minutes was. deferred. A committee from the Southside Development Association submitted the following communication: "Austin, Teхав January 23, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of Austin Austin, Teхав. Gentlemen: Whereas, at various meetings of the members of the Southside Development Assoolation it has been ascertained that the majority of said members are in favor of having West Mary Street, from the intersection of Evergreen Avenue to the intersection of Congress Avenue, designated as a state highway and developed by proper road construction and underpass; therefore At a called meeting of the Board of Directors of said association, the following resolution was passed: That the City Council of the City of Austin is hereby requested to consider the following facts: That there is a great need to relieve the peak load of traffic which is frequent ly found on Barton Springs Road; that the grade orossing on the Missouri-Pacific Railway on Mary Street should be eliminated and a railroad underpass provided; that the dangerous curve now existing at said crossing should also be eliminated; that a paved fire lane should be provided from South Congress to West South Austin; that a highway be provided from the mountain section of Travis County to Austin which will not be subject to the Colorado River overflows; that this connection will increase the hardsurface paving in Austin since the present highway is already paved; that South Congress Avenue was paved at a greater cost to the abutting property owners than most any other street in the City, and in order to reap the benefits of this investment that Mary Street designation should be seriously considered; that there has been frequent suggestion that another bridge астоss the Colorado River should be provided at a future date, and the most talked of location is at East Avenue, which is nearly opposite Travis Boulevard, and this with the Mary Street location would tend to
