A child is much more likely to con tact diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. Tha auicker vo cure Bnls cold th lm th rl.lt. Chamber- kin's Cough Remedy Is the sole reli ee of many mothers, and few of those who have tried It are willing to any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher, Ripley, W. Va., says: "I have never nsed anything other than Chamber lain's Cough Remedy for my children, and it has always givtn good satisfac tion." This remedy contains no opium or other narcotics and may be given as confidently to a child as to an adult. For sale by all good dealers.

In the business district it It conceded that the sewers would be plueed In. the alleys. When the sur vey Is completed In this district the pavement of .the streets could proceed at once by placing across Depot street at the points where the alley lnter srrt it. a section or sections of sewer on the level established by the survey. . in the meantime such repairs to or removal of the water malnB on these streets could also be accomplished be fore paving. Sidewalks. " ' Sidewalk Improvements In many parts of the city should bo attended to at once, primarily for tho greater comfort of pedestrians, and also be cause the city as whole Is responsi ble for damage resulting from defect ive sidewalks. With the advent of Beaver creek Vater. of the obtalnment of Which we have good reason to feel sure, the. question oi the condition of the res ervoir and water mains will naturally arise. A considerable sum Of money will no doubt be available from the. bond sale over and above the cost of the pipe line,' as well as from the wa ter fund during the year. X would suggest that the water committee give these matters careful consideration at an early date. A new Reservoir can be built as a site near the old one, at a small cost, and would injure the continued clean liness of Xho water after its arrival, as well as Insuring a greater supply in case ot necessity. If water ' mains of increased size would insure greater protection against fire and therefore lowered rates of insurance, they should be Installed If feasible. ' A Tribute to Williamson. In considering the achievements of the water committee during the past yepr, I wish to pay a tribute to the work of the retiring chairman of that committee. In common with the members of the council I have taken a deep Interest in the work of fur thering the Beaver creek water , pro ject, and so have become fairly fa miliar with all the details of the pro ceedings that have been taken. To this work Mr. Williamson has given of hie time and energy and profession al knowledge, more than as much painstaking care as If It had been his own personal interests he was serving. I therefore believe that to ex-Councilman Williamson Is due the thanks of this council for the conscientious and successful work he has accom plished for this community. I would bespeak for tho Beaver creek water projuct as great interest by each individual member of tho In coming council as was manifested by the members of tha retiring council, as' only by continued interest put Into practice Bhall we eventually succeed. Mistakes have probably betn made by the water committee as well as by other committees In this council, and will continue to be rnade as long as they do anything. '"Those who never make mistakes, never make anything." The work jof the file and police com mittee rtmng the past year, although not oiierous, has bwtt faithfully per formed and our city has been remark ably free from crime. This no doubt la attributable to several causes, not the least of which has been the effi cient services rendered by the police. I wish also to offer a word of com mendation of the work of the pound master during the past year. It is my opinion that this office Is not suffi ciently well paid, when the services are as well performed as they have been during the past year, the duties being heavy and Including tho con tinued maintenance and uso of a horse. Kxoi'llent Fire Department. We have good reason to be proud of the fire department, and I believe all the members of this council, as well as the citizens at large, will Join me Intenderlng to the chief and mem bers of the fire department our thanks for the very efficient services ren dered without the hope of fee or re ward during the past year. I would suggest to the members of the fire and police committee that In conjunction with the chief of the fire department they make a thorough ex amination of the fire fighting appara tus nosy on hand, and that such rec ommendations for repairs and new ap paratus be made to the council as the committee may deem fit and proper. In order that the fire department may be better equipped to fight the fires that are sure to come. The work of the finance committee, requiring as It does, considerable time and laborious attention to details, has been retrularly cleaned up to date. I will suggest to the new finance com mittee that they take up the matter of auditing the city books to date, first cleaning up the lust report, and make such recommendations to the council as they may think proper.. To the ways and meuns committee this year will fall more than tholr usual share of work, as the acquire ment by tho city of title to right of way for the Beaver cree Wine will nuturally fall to their lot. Tills Is a matter of Importance and will require careful attention of the Judiciary com mittee to the Important matter of adopting measures defining tho duties of the street superintendent, water su perintendent. ohlf of Yotle. city o t- tomey, and other officers under our new charter. If each committee of the council will adopt a plan outlined for them years ago of holding regular commit tee meetings at which would originate ordinances, and resolutions which would go before the council as a whole with the recommendation of such com mittee, such ordinances and resolu tions would then be' referred to" the JoJiciary committee for examination as to their legality, which they could determine with the assistance of the city attorney. The dutlee of the Judi ciary committee Would then be of greater importance than In the past, and the council be enabled to accom plish other work with greater expedi tion, v ' J' ' The mayor has not had time to give to the important matters of the ap polntment of committees and officials the attention they deserve, and would therefore respectfully request that the committees as formed In the retiring council continue the work of the sev eral departments until a later date. Councilman Bay Is requested to act as chairman of the water committee, and Councilman Sheak as a member of this and of such other committees as ex Councllmsn Williamson served on In the meantime. ' The present Incumbonts of the ap polntlvo offices are requested to con tlnue the duties temporarily If they so wish. Respetcfully submitted, M. K. HALL. Mayor.
