Finanecial. My first duty is to call your atten- tion to the state of our finances, The present net liability of the city is "lfl.lfi 87, which indicates an increase of $5,000 dufing the year just passed over t.he previous year. For this in- crease the common council cannot con- sistently be held accountable, since the city meeting levied an insufficient tax to meet current expenses. It would be appreciated, however, if your board in the intelligent exercise of economy should materially decrease this labil- ity without sacrificing any necessary or_ essential municipal improvement. There is now outstanding $100,000, municipal bonds due October 1, 1925, and $100,000, that will mature A\I!\llt 1, 1934. The sinking fund to retire thlén indebtedness now amounts to $56,- 105.25. ‘There is also an issue of $75,000, water bonds_due October 1, 1924, and another of $50,000 due October 1, 1929, The sinking fund to retire these bonds now amount to $4,903.05, and should be consistently increased to sufficient- ly redeem this bonded indebtedness day at maturity. It should not be overlooked that it was necessary to borrow $6,500 to retire the $50,000 wa- ter bonds that became due October 1, 1914, this loan was paid and cancelled during 1915 from earnings of water department, leaving additional balance named for sinking fund. Streets, - The special appropriation of $5,000 made for stone block pavement con- struction at the annual city meeting might well be utilized on Church street and North street between Main and Valley streets. Undoubtedly Union street between Main and Jackson streets will in another year require similar construction. The. present condition of Jackson street demands immediate attention. The surface is so badly worn that it will have to be practically rebyilt. I therefore respectfully suggest that you give the matter your immediate consideration and investigate the most modern improved method of macadam adapted for withstanding the wear and tear of traffic on this important thor- oughfare, so that work can be started thereon so soon as the weather will permit. Street Lighting. ‘The present contract for street lighting will expire November 15, 1917 and during your term of office. It is none too soon to give its renewal prop- er con-(dernt{on. and particularly rel- ative to the ecomomy of the use of incandescent lamps over arc lamps.

Iis property is in good condition, and no important ex- penditures are necessary for repairs. fce. The establishment of an ice plant at the pumflnz station, and the har- vesting of ice for the benefit of the inhabitants of the city, has become an almost indispensable governmental function, and its success is dependant upon maintaining prices within reach of all as much as the furnishing of a profit on the investment. Both pur- poses can be accomplished, and a long term contract with a strict observance of its conditions appears to be the most feasible method. Fire Department. The fire department has an excel- lent record of efficiency. To maintain this high standard it should be equip- ped with every possible modern ac- cessory. For the better fire protec- tion of the city, I am of the opinion that a motor truck for the department would be a material ald and >otent factor, I recommend its purchase f your consideration. Police Department, The safety of life and property is entrusted to the police department. It bas always fulfiiled the requirements of the trust imposed with credit and ability. - The call upon its Tesources is constantly increasing. It should be, therefore, provided with additional fa- cilities to meet the growing demand. Possibly the city is not yet ready for the installation of a complete police service, but that an initial step in this direction should be taken ap- pears necessary. I therefors recom- mend for your proln)t conslderation the desirabllity of h.ll(n: a signal box at the corner of Rallroad and Main streets. Parks. ‘The city has accepted the gift from Charles A. Young, deceased, of a pub- lic park at the southerly extension of Lebanon avenue. No appropriation has been made to care therefor or make improvements thereon. The gift is. a commendable display of public spirit and a valuable acquisition to the city. It consists of an extensive tract of land |, containing a beautiful grove of trees. It should be placed in condition for use of the public before next summer. l call your mentlon to the matter for the purpose of investigating the cost of placing the park in suitable condi- tion, so that a clause can be inserted in the warning for the next eity meet- ing to make an appropriation therefor.

The New Zealand official ‘war corres< pondent, Malcolm Ross, reports that toward the end of August. a major of infantry telephoned calling atten- tion to the fast that the New howitzers were dropping shells into a Turkish trench only five yards in front of the trench occupied by his men. He therefore asked the bat- tery to cease firing at that particu- |$1,392. lar trench of the enemy. The re- ply was that the firing was being | 5B done purposely inasmuch as the bat- tery commander fully trusted his men and his guns even with a mar- gin of only five yards. The reason for tnis close fire was because the in- fantrymen in the front trench had aparently run out of bombs and were being severely dealt with by the Turks. During the Turkish counter-attack on the night of May 19 the New Zea- land No. 2 battery of field artillery fired 611 rounds ow shrapnel at the Turkish trenches only 20 yards distant from the Australasian trenches. The shells shrieked continuously over the heads of the Australasians crouching in their trenches and throughout the night there was only one premature burst. As it was a dark night and the ranze only 1,000 yards, giving necessarily a very flat trajectory. “the feat” thec | correspondent says, “involved accurate and careful ‘laying’ on the part of the gunners. The elightest error such as the short set- ting of a fuse would have been se- rious under such circumstances.” But that close shooting in the Dar- Aaneles operation occassionally ml dentally worked havoc British forces is shown by R NUMBER OF IRISHMEN AVAILABLE FOR SBRWICE ' There Are 562,115 Between the Ages ' of 19 and 41 Years. l London, Jaun. 10, 5.40 p. m.~The ex-, clusion of Ireland from compuisory service led to a request for the utim- in that country.
