The interest on $18,000 at 6 per cent would he $1,080 per year. Thus the total | cost per mile per year would be $1,- ‘HH plus the cost of repairs, or $1,- From these figures it is sain that the annual cost per mile of a good road is the same ag that of the in- ferior clay roads. 4. Your funds are now expended under two accounts, general and sinking fund. As the budget for the |nuxt fiscal year should be made out at once, I beg to suggest that the amount appropriated be divided into sixteen funds as follows: Interest, sinking fund, streets, sanitary department, including sew= ers; salaries, parks, cemeteries, fire department, jail and pound, indi- gence, police, contingent, legal, sun- dry, printing, hospitals. As far &s possible each depart- ment above listed should be made to get along with the amount assigned to it. To the above there should be add- ed a fund which will pay off the present floating indebtedness in a short term of years by paying a part of it every year directly out of rev- enue, This is the only way of get- ting rid of the incubus of debt amounting to about thirty thousand dollars, which was left to your hon- orable body by previous city admin- istrations. I am informed by com- petent lawyers that it is not possi- ble to legally pay off floating debt of this character by a bond issue. 5. 1 have had the honor of meet- ing with the health officer of this city and a convention of the physi- cians of the city at the Morrell Me- morial Hospital lTuilding to get their views on the repairing the building and refinishing the rooms.

The secretary of the investigat- ing committee appointed by the mass meeting of the citizens present- ed me today with a list of questions as follows: 1. What is the size of lot, exact dimensions, now used for the plant? 2. What is the condition of the building? 3.
