' ' turther than this .no additional gen eral improvement should be under taken until the present obligation for the same have been fully ascertained, fully ' understood and 1n a measure provided for. However the petition of miporty owners for street or other lm provements should receive the care ful consideration of this body. The fire department of the City of Iia Grande, as a volunteer organization has reached a high Btnte of efficiency end has rendered the city exoptlon ally fine and effective servlco for which they are entitled to the public's fuli appreolation. But. in my opinion, th time has arrived in the growth of thi dfcy, and in the extensive character of its boundaries to justify the early con sideration of some means wfvereDT' to relieve the members of the departmnt of the extraordinary burdens Incident to Arc service. Anything undertaken in tills line should be done. as a basts upon which to make future additions and expansions as the .needs of the city may require, I especially recom- menu uus eucjeci u your careiui con sideration. I note that a pcttttioa has beea made for the granting "of a liquor ' license over and above tbose-penaltted by the present ordinance. I earnestly oppose any further extension of the liquor selling privilege at the present time, and sincerely trust the council will leave the ordinance licensing " the sale of liquors as it now stands which will result in the refusal of any fur ther licenses. In my opinion It la not within the province of this administration to de termine the manner In which the pre cnt unsottled labor conditions shall bo terminated, nor to take any part in Its adjustment, but, If at any time the in terests of the municipality become In volved It should bo the policy of the council to see that the public welfare Is thoroughly preserved, private prop erty fully protected and the eafetv of every citizen guaranteed.. The con tinual harassment and 'intimidation of any 'persons engaged in lawful' pur suits will not be tolerated. Adeqaaie police force will he , constantly, maintained to see' that the peace and safety of the ri'.y and Its inhabitants aos&mply protected. I have no doubt but what, the cihief, ot police,, will do. everything in his power to support the administration la, all matters, per talning. to the public welfare. Ordin ances should be passed prohibiting ner sons frqm .congregating on the sid-J walks, thus hindering freedom of use; providing a penalty for the punish ment of persons refusing to move on at She request of the police, I believe this' will obviate certain existing con ditions. Such ordinances as well as all others will be strictly enforced. The municipal water supply at the present time is most wholesome and adequate, but the rapid growth of the city renders it wise that the council cause such steps to he taken as will Becure under the laws of the United States and of this state, additional rights whereby the same may from time to time be Increased to meet fu ture requirements. Other waters in the vicinity of the Intake of the Beav- er Creek pipe line mny with moderate expense bo changed and a portion tnereot, turned Into Beaver- Creek above the presest "jiead gat. Beserves in the vicinity of such, ..water, supply should, and no doubt; wouM ore ated upon reuuest t the municipality. The permisstoa of ,.tht State, Brd of Control ot Water aboald be seenrMi that M tntervenlag right, will be ac- riued. Having they effect of Injuring the future Wanda' of the dtv.

To do so would be false economy, but the exercise ot those principals which good business men would employ in the conduct of private enterprises Is commended to you as an illustration of our duty with the respect to the city's finances. In this connection it occurs to me that the modern tendency In raunlclnal government is to conduct the same sub stantially in the manner as private business corporations are managed. This would Include a modern system which shall have a tendencv itmnf municipal Improvement and better ment, but I must reserve them for fu-.. tore discussion, i desire to say how ever that In presiding over this council I shall endeavor, to do so with fairness and at all times with the utmost re spect for the rights and opinions of" each member.
