In making up the above tables, these amounts have been included in the Summary Table (debt of all kinds), but omitted from the table
showing the City Debt. This was done in order to show in the latter the “City Debt Requirements,” that is, the amount of interest and sinking
fund payments met from the tax levy. To obtain the totăl payments for interest the above amounts should be added in the respective years
to the totals as shown in the table, City Debt. The amount of revenue received from betterments and sales of property and credited to the
Sinking Fund Commissioners is not shown in these tables.
