It occurs to your committee that the printed pamphlet showing the ,assess- ments made against individuals for ofl- ing and sprinkling streéts might well be Aisrensed with as these assessments are a matter of record in the city tax collee- tor's office the same as the rate hook and there seems no especial need of printing any number of books showinz these as- sessments @s they do not vary mater- ially from year to year and as the infor- mulion is always available at the office of the cax collector. In the annual report of the hoard of water conmissioners about eleven rages ars anpually taken to print the location of th Eydrants of the city. This infoi~ mation is exceedingly valuable to the de- partment and to the city but your com- mittee questions whether any good pur- pose is served by annually duplicating this record. The same may be sald as to the nine pages giving the table show- ing the approximate length of pipe in the different streets of the city and the size of the pipe. This record is of great im- rortance to the department and to the city and should be kept available at all times but it hardly seems necessary that the city should vear after year ba sub- ject to -the expense of duplicating this record. Tn the annual report of the board of park commissioners there seems no mec- essity of including in this report the “Cash Alcount, Mohegan Park” inas- much as these items are simply a dupli- cation of what has already been printed in_the city treasurer's report. The annual report of the chief of the fire department contains valuable sta- tistical data which should be available to anyone at all reasonable times but whether the clty should go to the ex- pense of annually printing these stat tics your committee somewhat ques- tions. The same may be said to a greater or less_extent of other departments of the city amd your committee believes that a comparatively largs sum in the aggre- gate could be saved by curtailing the an- nual departmental reports with no loss of efficiency in the service, Your committee finds that the mayor and the city treasurer has during the present fiscal year omitted some duplica- tion of printing of the accounts of the treasurer. Perhaps more could well be done. We are mot disposed at this time to suggest the change of any ordinances of the city with reference to this matter be- lieving that a change of method of mak- ing ciy contracts for printing and other- wise through the comptroller provided by the new city charter now awaiting approval by the electors will accomplish quite as much if not a great deal more than any mandatory action of the coun- cil_at this time. We do. however, strongly urge upon the several departments of the city that they attempt some reformation along the lines of these suggestions. that their re- ports should not be cluttered up either with pictures of themselves or with sta- tistical data of practiaal interest to but a verv few, H.

Grotto has leased foud rcoms for th social use of its members. The minstrel show was put on as the feature entertainment for ladies’ night and an audience of several hun- ared enjoyed and applauded the well rendered programme, which had been prepared in less than three weeks of strenuous rehearsals so as to have the show ready for the opening. ‘The stage setting was a garden scene, the same which had been origi- nally used by Fred G. Prothero when Olympic hall was opened eight years ago. As the curtain went up the stage ‘was dark except for a cluster of red lights, making a very pretty effect for the first number by the double quartette. The bones, R. Day Fillmore and James D.
