MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT.
MAYOR'S OFFICE. )
City of Savannah, October 1st, 1862. j
Fellow-Citizens:
In conformity to the Ordinances of the city, I herewith
submit to your consideration my "Annual Report" of the
fiscal operations of our City Government for the year en-
ding September 30th, 1862, and for the details of which
permit me to refer you to the subjoined "Annual State-
ment" of the City Treasurer.
The proportions of the revolutionary struggle in which
we are now engaged to secure our independence and a
place among the nations of the earth, have assumed, du-
ring the current year, a colossal form, and the depressing
influences of the war are more or less felt from the cen-
tre to the circumference of our infant Confederacy; but
our soldiery, with stalwart hearts and patriotic devotion,
have thus far demonstrated by their patriotism that they
fully appreciate the magnitude of the contest.
"We have abundant cause to be grateful to a kind Prov-
idence for His manifold blessings, even in the midst of the
severe ordeal through which we are now passing as a peo-
pie. First because of the signal success which has attend-
ed our arms in the fleld, victory after victory having
perched upon our standard* > Second, because, as a city
we have been comparatively more exempt from the deso-
lating effects of the war than many of our Southern sea-
port cities more exposed to the vandalism of the enemy ;
and third, because we have not been visited with any fear-
ful epidemics, other than those of an endemic character,
and common to this latitude.
The revenue of our city is dependent upon the peaceful
relations of society and the prosperity of commerce;
these potent sources have been interrupted in their wonted
course by the war, and we have suffered some diminution
in our annual revenne, say $24,966 98.
Ho new system of improvement has been initiated du-
ring the year ; our object has been rather to keep intact
what had been done, so far as this has been practicable.

"Without further preface I will now proceed to give you
a condensed view of the receipts and disbursements of our
City government:

paid from the ordinary revenue.
CITY BARRACKS.
The construction of the Police Barracks, etc., was com-
menced (1861) by my predecessor, and at the close of his
administration the cost amounted to, $14,000 50
We have expended during the current year
(1862)—see City Treasurer's report for par-
ticulars, 1,911 66
Cost to date $15,912 16
Nothing has been done towards the construction of the

Total interest 1862 $84,313 87
SPRINGFIELD SEWER.
This system of drainage was also commenced by the
previous Board, and cost at the close of their fiscal
year 1861 $9,923 69
We have continued the work, but the
war has checked its progress. The
Sewer is now completed quite up
to the Canal, at which point a sub-
passage is to be effected. The

Less, received for 91 bbls. of Cement
sold to the State. 273 00
4,931 96
Total cost to date $14,855 65
Note—The completion of this work, so valuable in point of health to our
citizens residing in the western and south-western localities of our City, and
also the tendency to reclaim all lands within its influence, conspire to make
it necessary that the sewer should be finished at the earliest practicable date.
7
UNION SOCIETY.
This charitable institution has been in practical opera-
ation for more than one hundred years, in supporting and
educating, in proportion to its means, the orphan boys in
our midst, and thus preparing them for the useful walks
of life.
The resources of the Society have been seriously dimin-
islied, because of the desolating war by which we are now
encompassed, and upon the application of its presiding
officer, we have donated to said Society nineteen lots of
Springfield Plantation, as per Ordinance passed December,
1861, as follows :
The balance, say four-fifths of the purchase
money, due at the expiration of 21 years
from the date of the purchase , $11,864 00
Also, annual interest accruing thereon, 7 pr. ct. 830 48
Note—All the above is appropriated to incFease the funded means of said
Society, with this exception, that during the existence of the war, the an-
nual interest may be applied to ordinary disbursements.
INCIDENTAL EXPENSES.
The disbursements under this caption are much larger
than usual : this is attributable to the prostration of all in-
dustrial pursuits in our midst, rendering indigent families
more helpless, and to demands of an extraordinary char-
acter on the Treasury, as follows : *
1. Appropriation to the citizens of Charles-
ton, in view of the unprecedented fire oc-
curing in said city, Dec. 11th and 12th, 1861 $10,000 00
2. Amount of relief afforded to the families
of soldiers and the poor generally in our
midst 5,280 05

color on Greene Island 497 53

urer's statement 1,513 02

have been paid, amounting to $200,000 00 ; also the Bond
given to the late Dr. James P. Screven, for lands pur-
chased of him for " dry culture" purposes on Hutchinson's
Island, amounting to $4,180. See Stocks in a previous
part of this report.
FUNDED DEBT.
That is, all Bonds issued with coupons attached thereto
with a given rate of interest and payable semi-annually.
This debt during the current year has been reduced by
the redemption of $58,000 in Bonds. See Bonds in a pre-
vious part of this report.
Note—The payment of the "floating Debt" of $204,180 00
and the reduction of the "funded Debt" as above 58,000 00
In all $262,180 00
Will reduce our interest account for the present at the rate
of $18,352 60 per annum.
The "funded debt" of the city, after the reduction as
above, will amount to $1,814,840 00 with an annual inter-
est of $127,038 80, instead of $131,098 80 as formerly.
DRY CULTURE.
In sustaining this part of our health economy during
the present fiscal year the expenditures have been as

BOARD OF HEALTH.
In reviewing the cost of this department of our sanitary
arrangements, it will be discovered that we have expend-
eel $2,147 75 more than the corresponding period of last
year ; this arises from the fact of furnishing our City Dis-
pensary in advance, of such articles, as were of prime
necessity. Medicines of all descriptions have appreciated
in an extraordinary degree. To illustrate : the article of
Quinine cost alone $1,827 50, and other medicines in like
proportion. The interment of paupers have been unusual-
ly large this season, (see Treasurer's Report for ' the
details)— g.
Amounting to $4,408 78
Note—Wc hare been exempt this year from all epidemics of a serious
character.
QUARANTINE.
The expense of this branch of our health protection
consists, this season, in the salaries of Health Officer and
Keeper of Pest House, and some few bills incurred last
year, sav—■
In all..." $909 82
Note—We have had but one case of Small Pox during the year.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
This efficient Department of our city protection has
cost during the current year, with the usual appropriation
of $150 to each Company—
The sum of $1,960 82
Note—We have been comparatively exempt from fires. We are well sup-
plied with water. In this connection it may not be improper to remark,
that the Water Works, which has proved so great a blessing to our commu-
nity, both with reference to comfort and the prevention of anything like a
conflagration, and thus imparting e mfidence and safety with regard to fires,
has cost over $200,000 00, superadding- an average tax to our citizens of
over $6,000 00 per annum ; and yet there has been no proportionate abate-
ment in the rate of premium charged by our Insurance Companies. It is
proverbial that fire risks taken in Savannah are safer than those of any
other seaport city.
SCAVENGER'S DEPARTMENT.
There has been no change in this department.
FINES AND FEES.
