Good Cougb Medicine for Children.

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

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.

question Is this: Let the council pro
ceed to Imve made a reliuble perma
nent survey of a sewer system for the
whole city. 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.
