Excerpt from The Sixteenth Annual Report of the Receipts and Expenditures of the City of Manchester, for the Fiscal Year Ending Dec; 31, 1861: Together With Other Annual Reports and Papers Relating to the Affairs of the City The large amount of uncollected 'taxes for the year 1859, will demand the attention of the City Council. The method adopted and practiced for the last two years for the collection of taxes works well for the interests of the city. The recommendation of the Mayor last year that no bills should be contracted in behalf of the city without his knowledge, and that all bills against the city should be presented monthly for payment, has worked satisfactorily, and should be strictly adhered to in the future.
