The body was called to order by the city clerk, J. J. L. C. Jewett, after which Messrs, Thrane, Behm, McGuckin, Dunham, Leeder and Baker were sworn in by the mayor. On motion of Mr. Kaufmann Mr. Baker was called to the chair, Roll call showed the following members present: Baker, Behm, Corby, Dellone, Dunham, Herman, Kaufmann, Leeder, McGuckin, O’'Keefe and Thane. Mr. Bakerannounced the first busi- ness of the evening to be the election of officers, whereupon Mr., Kaafmann moved that Mr. Homer Stull be elected president by acclamation, . charge of selling liquor on Sundsy. —Manager Rheem and his force expect to shift their wires and instruments to Thirteenth atreet about the first of Sep- * tember. ~—Omaha is now the port of entry from which all steamers plying on the upper Missouri and Yellowstone must take out papers. —A horse collided with a lamp post on Thirteenth street last night, while being driven at agallop, and 'broke his leg.

Messrs. Dunham and Herman were appointed by the president to act as tellers. 5 A ballot was taken snd resulted in the unanimous election of Mr. Stull to be president, The chairman declared Mr. Stull to be duly elected and appointed Messrs, Kaufmann, Baker and Thrane to con- duct him to the chair, Mr, Stull made a short speech, in which he acknowledged in appropriate words the honor conferred upon him. Ho expressed the hope that in the performanceof hisduties heshould have the kindly services of his fellow coun- cilmen, alluded to the responsibility of the members of a municipal body, the prosperous and growing condition of the city, and urged all to be un. tiring in their efforts to satisfy the de- mands made upon them by the pub- lic, Mr. O'Keefe nominated Mr. J. J. L. C. Jewett to be city cleak for the ensuing year. He said he had done a great deal of work in the past year and it was all straight; it was very creditable to the judgment of the old council and his services would be equally valuable to the new. On motion of Mr, Kauffman, Mr. Jewett was elected by acclamation, and expressed his acknovledgements in afew words, well chosen. The mayor was then introduced and proceeded to deliver his ¢ ANNUAL ADDRESS, Gentlemen of the Oity Council: At the end of the first year of my official term it becomes my duty to transmit to you a statement of the coxditions of the various departments of the city government. FINANCES. ritory, and it is our duty to provide proper protection to our citizens. All are in favor of obedience to law and the preservation of order, bnt differ 28 to the measure and manner of en- forcement. Some want the laws enforced strictly to the letter, while others believe in a liberal and conser- vative construction, Recognizing, as I do, that certain evils have existed sinco the beginning and will continue to exist for all time to come, Iam free to say that Tama firm advocate of the latter mode, believing that the only way is to regulate, so that the laws shall neither be over-obnoxious to the individual nor offensive to the public. The present police force is inade- quate, and the recommendation of the city marshal that the force be in. creased meets my hearty approval, though for the present I think it un- necessary to increase the number to more than twenty. The board of health consists.of the president of the council, the city marshal and the mayor. The city phFicim is secretary of the board. 'he health of the city the past year was unexceptionally good, and it has only been since the month of Janu- ary, when the first case of small x made its appearance, that the Egfird was called upon to perform any duty whatever, Arrangements were made with the county commissioners and a suitable building for a pest house was erected on the county farm, and all patients that could with safety be removed, were sent to the house atonce. KEvery measure was taken by the board to prevent the spread of the disease, and we have great cause for congratulation in the fact that in the three months just passed there has been in all thirty-one cases, and there is not a single case in the city at the present time, There are many suggestions in the report of the city physician that are worthy of your careful consideration. ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT. The engineering department has become of such vast importance that only the very best talent should be employment. The salary paid the city engineer will not procure procure the services of a man fully competent to perform the work that is demanded of that offie. The present city engi- neer claims that he cannot afford to again accept the position unless the salary is increased. In my opinion it would be far better for the city to pay twice or even thrice the amount and employ the most ekillful engineer that could he obtained. One year ago at the beginning of my ofticial term I urged upon the council the ne- ocessity of letting contracts for the curbing and guttering of all streets that were to be established grade. The year passed, and but little has been accomplished. The curbing and guttering on Tenth street is partly finished, and that on Dodge street only commenced. I ugain call the at- | P! tention of the council to the great necessity of this work being done without delay. It can be done with- out ‘cost to the city, the owners of property paying therefor, and the street can therefore be kept in repair at moch less expense. I would also suggest the necessity of employing a competent mechanic to overseo all work while go- g on, 80 as to prevent poor material from being used. This work is all be- ing done under the supervision of the city engineer, and as hecannot always be present. material is sometimes used that is wholly unfit, and it is impossi- ble for him)to know what kind of ma- terial is in the work after it is finished. 1t is a duty we owe the men who do business that the streets in the busi- ness portion of the city should be put Our financial standing both at home | in good shapeatonce.

From this statement it will be seen that at the end of the year and before but little, if any tax for the year 1881 has been paid, there remains in the hands of the treasurer the sum of $104,676- 76. After the first ?C May this amount will be largely increased, aud I would suggest to the council that it rive some benefittherefrom, From the clerks report it will ba merce of the oity1s being done. If our city charter should be amended as agreed upon by the board of trade and our representatives, I would re- commend that you let contracts for paving first where most needed. With our present facilities, no matter what kind of paving you decide upen, but little can be done this year, and for this reason, if for no other, yon should leave selfish considerations entirely out of the question, and order the work done 1n the central part of the Many times during the past winter our streets were in such a con- dition that it was almost impossible with some routine work and the board ad- | 8¢en that while showing a small in- | for pooElevto pass over them in order journed, orease in the expenses for salaries of to ‘make necessary purchases.

The sug- gestion of the chief engineer that hose cart be placed in the southern part of the city and one in the west- ern _gut,_mu!.. my approval. The city is growing with great rapidity, ly covering a large ter- built in the llllczn between Jackson Harney, roey and Farnam, Faruam and Douglas and Dodge streets, ‘The total amount expended for the main sewer is $10,123.79, In addition to this there were 81,622 53 paid Messrs, Waring aud Bogart for plans and expenres, and $2,141.19 spent for losal engineering, The city engineer reports that the |be general demand for sewer connec- tions since the lateral sawers have been built is so great that he would advise the letting of contracts as soon as possible for the pi and material necesary to extend the wain sewer as far north as Cuming street. In this I heartily concur, and 1 would further recommend theletting of contracts for all lateral sowers from Dodge street north to Cuming street. The ground underlying the city is saturated with foul matter and alyiris deposits from cess pools and privy vaults, the sanitary require- ments are coustantly increasing and demand the extensicn of sewerage to promote healthfulness and present ep- | i \demics, Our poople ecaunot deri full benefit from th‘:l water ':xppl .TI:.- | sewers are constructed AuI the using of water for mechanical and other purposes and allowing the waste | Labo water to run into the streets, as is the case in many instances, will keep them in an impassible condition. The bonds voted last year will be more than ample to pay the construction of all the main rewers and no more bonds for this purpose will be required for many years, In this connection I wish particu- larly to eall you: attention to that part of the enginecr’s report that re- fers to the sewers of South Omaha creck, The storm water off Tenth atrest must empty through the catch basins into the sewer, and it 1s very important that the contractors should complete the work. It seems that the council, contrary to the advice of the city engineer, ordered the con- struction of about 3,600 feet of an open ditch across the bottoms . from orth Omaha creek to the river, with numerous cross ditches, to drain the low lands. The work, in my opinion, will be practically useless, and would suggest that the work be done only in accordance with the plan recommended by the engineer. WATER WORKS. There can be but one opinion in re- gard to our system of water works, and that is that when completed cording to the plans we will have a supply of the purest water at reasona- ble rates and with force sufficient in nearly all parts of the city to wive ample protection from fire. The re- port ot the engineer on this subject is very full and complete, and I would recommend that before the works are accepted you have every part of them thoroughly tested, and satisfy your- selves that they are constructed in accordance with theterms of the con- tract, and if modified in any respect, that such modification does not mili- tate against the best interests of the city. THE CITY SCHOOLS, The public schools of the city are entirely under the management of the board of education, and the city gov- ernment has but little to do other than to provide funds for their main- tenance. The school buildings are substan- tial and elegant; they are the pride of our people and represent an invest- ment of $400,000. The disbursements last vear for all purposes wero £91,249 10, Of this amount t!e state contributed $9,- 281 14, From present indications there will be collected this year from fines and licenses a sum sufflcient to Pl; their entire expense. ifteen thousand dollars per annum is required for interest on the out- stauding indebtedness, and ten thou- sand dollars is each year placed in the sinking fund., There was $5,988.85 spent in the construction of buildings the past year, leaving $61,285.25 for running expenses. As there were but 3,40 ina ttendance in the public schools, it cos’ a fraction over $18 per r yéar to educate each acholar. It 18 the intention of the board this year to erect a new school house at the corner of Eleventh and Center streets and also to add four rooms to the school house in Hartman’s addition, From the foregoing it will be seen that the public schools are being con- dunt?d on a very munificent, lif not ;o say, 'a_very extravagant scale, and, ;'gilt!li I :m?n f:‘vlor.g;l li?enl appro- ons for educational purposes, believing that in our wmmol:: schools hand. One is as neccssary as the other and you should do nothing that will unsettie confidence or cause dis- trust and alarm, but on the contrary, do all in your power to create a feel- ing of safety and security. Mr. Baker moqod that the address of the mayor and tiwe report of the city engineer be refereed to the com- mittee on printing with instructions to report as to the advisability of priuting them in pamphlet form for general distribution, The motion was withdrawn on ac- count of no committees as yet being appointed.

Mr. Baker then renewed his motion, Mr. Dunham insisting that it ought to be divided. Mr. Kaufman thought the report of the mayor should be referred to the committee on printing and the reports of the several departmerts to their respactive committees. Mr. Baker made a motion to that effect, which was carried, Mr. Baker moved that after such division and reference, the papers be referred to the committee on printing, as before. Carried. Mr. Herman was excused for the evening. On motion, Col. E. F. Smythe was permitted to preeent aanatter to the council, Col. Smythe presented a bond pre- pared in due form for Mr. Wm. Sex- lie the foundation for tuture great- ness. I weuld suggest to the council, if within their province, while having every confidence in the board, that 1t might be well to inquire into the management, It certainly is ques- tionable to my mind whether the people of Omaha are in favor of the expenditure of auch a lsrge sum annually, OITY LIBRARY. The public library contains over seven thousand volumes, seven hun- dred of which have been added since June 1st, 1881, Itis good hands and is being managed very satisfactorily. Thirty-six thousand two hundred volumes were issued to book borrow- ers during the year, showing the great good that is being desired from this institution, The public records of the city are not safe from fire, and something must be done before long to provide for the erection of a fitting building for a_ ocity hall orrent a better one than the one now used, The desire of our civizens as expressed at the late election ia that Jefferson square be leased io private parties for the urpose of erecting thereon a market ouse a8 well as rooms suitable fca city offices. My understanding 1s that as soon as the county complete and occupy ‘heir new court house, that the ground upon which the court house stands will revert back to the city. If this be so, it might be best to rent until such time as possession of the property is obtained. This be- ing a central location, it would be much better, in my judgment, for the city to pay for the erection of a good building on that ground than to get oftices on Jeffersun square free of charges, which would always be un- pieasant and disagreeable, on account of their connection with a market house, CONCLUSION, There aro many other matters of in- terest to which I might call your at- tentiqn, At present 1 have not the time, but will take pleasure at your future meetings to lay before you any- thing I deem worthy of your coneid- eration, In conclusion I desire to say that you will always have my hearty co- cperation in everything pertaining to the prosperity of the citr. While we may, and no doubt will, differ upon certain matters, as well as the manner in which the businessof the city should managed, we should never forget that we are all interested in its wel- fare and responsible to the people fox 8 prudent and economical manage- ment of ite affairs, There is no city in the west that has brighter prospects in store for it than Omaha, ~She is without doubt des- tiued to be the future great city of the Miesouri valley; but there are many things claiming your attention, chief of which is the improvement of streets, so as to provide business men with business conveniences, that will have to be accomplished before she attaius the point she ere long is so certain to resch.

Sexauer, Josaph Fox, S. L. Ruff, H. Bolln, Peter Goos, and others. This was done in compliance with the law, and council was asked to take some action on it. Mr. Dunham moved to place the bond on file. Mr. Dellone moved an amendment that the bond be rejected on the ground that no vacancy existed. Mr. Dunham insisted that it be placed on file as a matter of courtesy to Mr. Sexauer. Col. Smythe by permission made a few remarks. Mr. Buck is to all in- tents and purposes the treasurer of the city. Mr. Sexauer is, however, elected treasurer, and it is due to him and to nine hundred majority of the city voters that his rights be recog- nizad, so that if he desires to contest the place he can.do so. He alluded to the overwhelming sufficiency of the bond, and while not asking the acceptance of the same, asked that it be put on record so that he 1might go to work intelligently to secure his rights, Mr. Dunham moved that the bond be referred to the committee on ju- didiary to ascertain if a vacancy exists. Mr. Herman moved as a substitute that the bond be laid on the table. There being ho second to the lat- amendments, the vote was taken on the question of referring to the com- mittee on judicidry, the ayes and noes being called for. Lost; 7 t3 5. The original motion to place the bond on file was carried by ayes and noes, 7 to 5, PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS Communications were received from the secretaries of the various tire com- panies asking the appointment of a committee of three from the citycoun- cil to act as judges of the election ot chigf engineer of the fire department, to occur on the 12th inst. Some ob- jections were raised on account of the informality of the papers, and con- siderable discussion followed on the aubject. ]Vir. O'Keefe moved as an amend- ment that the mayor be desired to at- tend the meeting. Mr. Kauifman moved as a substi- tute that the who.e matter be laid on the table. Carried.
