BROAD STREET, PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA 19130 COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT A COMPONENT UNIT OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 Marcy F. Blender, CPA Comptroller Prepared by Office of General Accounting Richard T. Henderson Director STUDENT ART The art displayed in this report is the work of Philadelphia school students and was selected from entries submitted to the 2005 Cover Design Contest entitled, “THE LIFE AND TIMES OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN”. As one of Philadelphia’s most famous citizens, Franklin (1706-1790), whose 300th birthday we celebrate in the coming year, was truly a “Renaissance Man”, whose accomplished life not only made a profound impact on Philadelphia but our entire country. He was a scientist, an inventor, a printer, a philosopher, a musician, a politician, an ambassador, a shopkeeper, a cartoonist, an economist and much more. As one of our “Founding Fathers”, Franklin was an anti-slavery proponent, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. From the societies and public institutions he founded, to the institutions and neighborhoods that bear his name, to the businesses that today use his likeness, Philadelphia is very much Franklin’s city.
