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

my. ' I would not advise you to aav
rlfiee permanency and quality In the
city's - business. 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

ment, but I must reserve them for fu-..

ever that In presiding over this council
I shall endeavor, to do so with fairness
and at all times with the utmost re

each member. To the end therefora-
that this administration mny he ot

shall promote its general welfare ar.C
