THE MAYOR'S MESSAGE.
Several Points for the Council to
minate Upon- the Comlif Tear.
Ru-
. To the Honorable Common Council of
Dalles City:
As we are about to enter upon another
year's administration of c.ty affairs, it is
proper that we should have a brief
resume of tbe past year's business and
lso outline or forecast the policy of the
council for tbe coming year. 'At the be
ginning of the 'last fiscal year, July 1,
1895, the city had not yet completed the
sale of the bonds and the principal part
of the old. warrants were outstanding
and it is impossible to compare tbe cash
balance at that time with the cash bal
ance at the present time and deduct a
conclusion therefrom.
I find from examining the annual re
port read the first Monday in July, 1895,
that the expenses of the city for the
year previous had been $12,180.83, being
a trifle over $1,000 per month and this
without payment of any interest. I find
from the records kept by the recorder,
and as will appear in his report, that
the past year the expenses for city gov
ernment have been $6,973.85, or a trifle
over one-half what they were the year
previous. Of course to this we should
add the interest on bonded debt $3,420,
making our total expenditures, includ
ing interest, $10,393.85.
We have collected income during the
past year as follows :
Saloon licenses $ 5,080 00
Taxes 4,519 01
Fines, miscellaneous licenses
and other sources ...... 2,104 95
Total.....
Less cash ex p.
$11,703 96
including int.. 10,393 85
Balance.......;. $ l.SiO 11
From the foregoing it will be seen
- that we have been able to ran the city
and pay our interest for $1,310.11, less
than the income derived the past year,
a showing upon which lean congratu
late the council.
The expenses have been further, re
duced for tbe coming- year by discon
tinuing the arc lights, so if the income
- can be kept up to last year's figures, we
shall very easily be able to have a still
larger surplus at the end of tbe coming
year. There is now a balance' on hand,
exclusive of the money set apart for the
redemption of warrants issued prior to
the time when warrants were paid by
the treasurer on presentation, the sum
of $6,949.22. ' , ) :.
Still we should not at (his time simply
congratulate ourseves on business suc
cess, but exercise a vigilant care for the
future. We should watch that oar in
come does not shrink by any lack of
carefulness on thu prt of our officers
, and also that our monthly running ex
penees are not allowed to increase. .. The
system of the past year of closely scrut
inizing every bill, and closely consider
ing every . expense beiore incurring it,
should be continued. It would be very
easy for expenses to creep op again on
us and instead of allowing this 'to be
done it is my hope that in case we have
any substantial surplus we may arrange
to use that surplus' in something tend
'ing towards the permanent improve
ment and advancement of the city.
' We must not lose sight of the fact tba
on account of very close economy but
little has been done toward the keeping
up of tbe fire depart ment apparatus, and
I am informed that the purchase of a
quantity of new hose and perhaps some
other minor repairs will be necessary in
the near future. ; : ' -.. . ;, '
The light proposition is one which is
entirely unsettled and I have never con
sidered that the question was one of
lights or no lights, but rather what kind
of lights and what tbey must cost us.
I heartily approve tbe action of tbe
council in discontinuing the expensive
arc lights, as we could nop, in justice to
other matters, continue paying out so
much money for arc lights alone. The
former expense for lights was some
$500 or $600 greater each year than all of
the money the city could , collect for
taxes .over and above the payment of
interest on bonded debt, and was out of
proportion to anything -else in the city
government. I believe, however, the
council should taEe tne matter in
hand and see what arrangements can be
made for a cheaper system' of lighting.so
as to be able by tbe fall of the year to
provide sufficient light for the safety of
the citizens; but at the same time see
ing to it that the expense is kept in pro
portion to other expenses of the city and
within our ability to-pay.
. The question of street improvements
in my opinion should xhave some con
sideration at tbe hands of this council,
but by this I do not mean to say that
we should begin an expensive Bystem of
improving, but that tbe streets should
be cleaned and at least a portion of -tbe
rut holes and sand pits, which may now
be seen in almost every portion of the
city, should be filled. . Nothing adds to
the appearance of a town more than
well graded and well kept streets and a
vast amount of improvement in this re
spect could be made at a very nominal
expense either to the city or the prop
erty owners.
A question which will soon confront
us or others in this council and a ques
tion which must be met beiore long is
that of eewerage. The present sewer
system is imperfect and worn out. I
fully appreciate tbe "hard times" and
do not nrge or advise that this question
of sewerage should be taken up before it
is absolutely necessary, but whenever
the council is of the opinion that the
majority of the property owners are in
favor of a new sewer system they should
not hesitate to take tbe matter in their
hands and act; and I might go farther
than this and say that whenever in the
opinion of the council our 'sewer system
is inadequate and is in such condition as
to endanger the health and lives of the
inhabitants of the city, they should not
hesitate to try to remedy the evil even
by a new 'sewer system. I do not be
lieve anv considerable sewer Improve
ment could be made to advantage ex
cept by taking the entire matter in hand
at one time and constructing a full and
complete system entirely independent
of the old. '
I sincerely hope that tbe present
council will be as harmonious in the
transaction of business and as true to
the citv's welfare as has the council dur
ing the past year, and that tbe relation
of the conncilmen with each other and
that the relation of myself with tbe
councilmen will be mutually pleasant
and agreeable. Respectfully submitted,
Frank Menkfee,
' Mayor of Dalles City

REMEDIES
Our little baby of two months was badly
afflicted witb Eczema. It began when she
was tbreo weeks old, and in spite of all our
skill and that of two good physicians, she
continued to grow worse. Eer head, arms,
neck, and limbs, and, in fact, nearly every
joint in her body, were raw and bleeding when
we concluded to try Cuticcra Remedies.
The child being so small and delicate, we
bejan with Coticuba (ointment), and Ccti
cuba Soap, according to directions, and after
the fimt application we could tee d change.
When we had used the remedies one week,
she was very much better, some of the sores
had healed entirely and had ceased to spread.
After using them for less than a mouth, the
child was free from scales and blenches, and
to-day has as lovely skin and hair as any
child. She w.wi shown at the G range Fair
when four and a half months old, and tools
the premium of a sliver cup, as tbe 7iretticst
baby, over sixteen others. Wo recommend
Cuticuba Remedies to all our f rienils, and
cannot praise them too hrghlv.
