Gentlemen Herewith I submit the annual report of the City Recorder of the City of Pendleton, for the year 1918. The ' year. notwithstanding the world war. was a progressive and prosperous one for the city of Pen dleton. ' In the matter of Improvements, there was 1-3 of a mile of streets paved at a cost of $12, 259- There were two sewer laterals con structed and part of one main sewer relald at a cost of $2245.57. There was 1100 feet of road lead ing to Olney cemetery paved at a cost of $3437.50, $1000 was paid by tho city, $1437.50 by popular sub scription, and $1000 is to be paid by Umatilla county, besides there were other Improvements to the cemetery during the year, making the last rest ing place of our loved ones, one of the beauty spots of the City of Pen dleton. ThBj police department of the city was run on an economical 'basis dur ing the year which resulted In a sav ing of the sum of $554-34 over the preceding year without any decreased efficiency of the department. The office of city recorder effected a saving during the year of the sum of $125.33 over the preceding year. Lights for the city show an in creased cost of $004.74 over the pre ceding year, which was caused by the Installation of the new lighting sys tem, which has given the City of Pen dleton the reputation of being the best lighted city in the Northwest. Street sprinkling cost the city $538 21 more than the preceding year, which 1 accounted for by In creased cost of labor during the year. Legal services cost the city practi cally the same as the preceding year, and Includes attorney's fees paid In the prosecution of the suI(h to collect the Jackson street Hens which resulted in their collection by the city. The operating expense of tho city hall decreased during the past year In the sum of $512.11 showing careful management on the part of the house committee and firemen. The expenditure for parks increased during the pant year In the sum of $3S,72 caused by Increased cost of labor and purchase of machinery to be used In connection therewith. Owing to the flu epidemic, the ex pense of the Health department In creased from $354.95 In 1917 to $1126.40 In 191K, but owing to tho vigorous sanitary measures employed and the energetic action of the city council, the epidemic seems under control. If not eradicated. There were 156 burial permits issued during the year. St reft cleaning cost the city $2109.93 more in 1918 thun the year previous, caused principally by Increased sur face to be cleaned and Increased cost of labor caused by the war Elections cost the city $769.70 dur-i Ing the year, and I would recommend that the city ask the county court to make the precinct lines coterminous with the boundary lines of the city, when all but a nominal part of the ex pense will be eliminated, under our present election laws. The city paid out of the general fund the sum of $3296.35 towards the pavlriff of West ftaley street, upon the agreement of the state board to con tlnue the paving to the statashosptlal when this was done. -There were 220 building permits Is sued during the year, resulting In the construction or alteration of buildings In the city of Pendleton of the ap proximate value of $8 317. Forty-six permits for the construc tion of sidewalk were Issued during the year, which called for the con structlon of 5394 lineal feet of con Crete sidewalk In the city. There were 192 cases tried In the recorder's court during' the . year. which resulted in the collection of fines In the sum of $3639. Repair and construction of the levee was made during the year at a cost of 410.43, and the extension of the Levee to "protect the property of the city Is still proceeding. . There was expended In repair and painting of bridges during the year the sum of $171.15. The year on the whole has been a remarkable one on account of the prosecution and close of the war, and the necessity for readjustment follow ing Its close, and the flu epidemic and the mayor, council and other officers have labored faithfully and earnestly to solve these problems to the best In terest of the people of the city of Pen dleton and deserve great credit for the work that they have conscientious ly performed In their behalf. Thanking the mayor and members of the common council for the many courtesies end kindnesses extending to this office during the year, I re main Yours respectfully, , THOS.
