REPORT.

The amount paid into the City Treasury during the past. year was $179,300, and the expenditures $241,294.34; included in the latter amount is the sum of $20,000, which was kindly granted by the City Council, and has been expended toward building the new boat "Revere," which we are pleased to say is now completed, and will be put running on the North Ferry in a short time in place of the "Adams," which is to be sold.

The boats, drops, slips and ferry buildings are all in good repair.

In consequence of the general depression in business during the past year, the receipts have fallen below the estimate made at the beginning of the year to the amount of $18,667.61.

The estimated receipts for the next financial year are $180,000, and the expenditures $231,200.

The cost to the city, up to April 30, 1876, of the boats, franchise, and the running expenses, and also the revenue from tolls, have been as .ollows, exclusive of interest:
