The common council of Dalles City
met Saturday night in tbe city hail with
Mayor Knck presiding, and Councilmen
Clough, Gunning, Stephens, Keller,
Michelbach, Johnston, Shackelford and
Kelly present.
The minutes of the previous regular
and special meetings were read, after
which Mayor Kuck delivered his mes
sage to the council, which was as
follows :
Tu the Common Council of Inlk Citji:
As niavor of Dalles City it is my duty
at this time to recommend the adoption
of such measures as I deem expedient
and proper.
The most important thing for the
council to consider is the finances of
the city, and see how we cun get money
into the treasury as well as out of it,
and that tbe money in the sinking fund
is kept bearing interest continually.
The sewer proposition should be taken
hold of with renewed vigor and pushed
to an enrly completion.
I consider the city financially able
(with the present tax levy) to provide
street lighting and recommend the ap
pointment of a committee of your body
to see what can be done to that end.
I recommend that the collection of
the road (ux be continued until all who
are not exempt have paid t lie same, us
it is not right to collect only from a few.
I call your attention to the fact that
the reprinting of the new city charter
together with the ordinances to date
would be bandy fer reference, and, if it
meets the approval, adviee that the
same be printed in pamphlet form.
The vault in the office of tho recorder
has been in bad shape ever since the
high water of 1804 inundated the same,
when the water so suddenly came into
said office, it was necessary to quickly
move tbe records to a place of safety in
order t o save them from destruction
and in so removing them they were
mixed together and are not now in.
proper order, and I therefore recom
mend that said vault be overhauled
and said records be re-arranged and that
all old books and p.tpers be conveniently
stored away in said vault in order to
make room tor those that are to be
hereafter filed and preserved. And I
finally recommend that you give what
assistance you can to the board of
fire delegates in their efforts to get a re
duction in the rate of insurance by pro
viding the city with a chemical engine
and fire alarm system.
Respectfully submitted,
IIknky L. Kick.
