The city has purchased within tlie year one
Button llainl Kn-ine with 500 feet of hose at
a total cost of $2;0S "".
A company h:vs been organised to work this
machine, consisting at present of tiO men. The
company is in good wor!;ing order uud able to

We also hiire a Hook and Ladder ronipauy

this company is about 7M.
We have two cisterns, vu --one at crossing
if Willamette and Kihth Streets, which it is
thought will furnish an inexhaustible supply
of water. The.-e cost, 00.
Total invested fur fire purp. ses, $;Cm8."3.
The connctl have ulxo adoiteil jdans for an
ingine house to lr located on Kiihth street
near the county jail, tlie cost of which will be
about 92200. Tho construction of this building
ought to be b.'gmi nt as early u day as possible
on account of the damage sustained by" the
hose, fnW. being 011 the eart rot 1 with more or
less wuter inside. It is only a question of a
short time when hose kept in this manner
will become rotten and useless. We would,
therefore recommend the early completion of
the building with the Hose tower fs an ceo
nomictl lucasire for the city.
We would also rccomuieuil tho adoption of
some plan for tlu construction of cisterns and
the li'cilion and building of one on crofting
of Willamette ami Seventh, Willamette and

o' the City ok Kimese;
Gi:xTi.EMK.v:-The charter makes It the duty
of the Mayor to comniuuieate by ininsage to
the council, annually a general statement of
the condition ail I affairs of tho city, recom
mending such measure as he may think proper
and in accordance I hereby submit my state
ment and recommen latious, to-wit:
In taking the o'll.-o of Mayor two years
since, i fount an indebdtjdnesj of about
f 100 in small sums, and an additional indebt
edness of about $ 1100 to the tire fund. From
a five mill tax we have paid off the indebted
ness, and restored to the tiro fund all that was
hie it
For a presunt showing of the financial con-
lition of the city, as shown by the reports o'
the City Reorder and Treasurer-'
We have received duri ig the year from all
sources, $.1,S;1S 41.
N e have paid out during t.w past year
4,7;.2 (.
Leaving a balanej of 3i53 II.
Outstanding warraiiU, nothing; indebted
ness, nothing.
For a m re minute nccmnt of the fiu iueial
condition of the city, I r'Jer you to the re
ports of the recorder and treasurer.
Wo havj expended during the year ah mt
$2000 in the purchase of a Button Hand Kn
gins whieh doj i go I w rk aul has proven it
self well worth the 111 mey paid for it.
Liider the uiaiiagiuent tif the committee on
fire and wa'er, a now fir company has been
organized, known as Eugene Engine Co Xo 1,
into whose hands this engine has lieen placed,
nnd the company have already proven them
selves we'l worthy of the ti 11st placed in their
hands.
The property holle-s an 1 citizens here have
cause to be proud of , their two fire companies.
They have proven tf em wives e'al to any
emergency, and there is a feeling of compara
tive safety against fire, that did not exist for
merly.
The current expense of tin) city for tho past
two years has been run ou a three mill tax and
has demonstrated t.'ie Viet that two mills from
the five mill levy allowed by law, cm ba used
for many needed improvement within the city.
If you levy nnd collect your taxes according
to law, toere ia 11 occasion to leave the city in
debt at the end of any administration., If the
incoming city oflLi-rs look well to their finan
ces and keep right in this Vjspeet, they will
fi.id b'lt little trouble in mvnaging the city.
Ourdelinipiciit list is uothing, and if your col
lectors do their duty it will always be so.
Our sidewalks, street crossings and alleys are
iu their usual good condition. The street com
missioner and committee 011 streets should or
der a getier.d clean up of all streets, alleys uud
cesspools, .as soon as the storm is over as up
on the fulfillment of tin's duty the health and
apiiearanee of our city depends.
An arrangement has been made and an or
der passed by which tho city mid county au
thorities, jo'ntly, will raise and widen the road
way and water levy at the railroad crossing
near tho Eugene City Mills. For particulars
cf which I refer you to the recorder's b-ioks,
entered in March List. This will lie a great
security and a much needed improvements at a
small cost.
The dit:h passing through the northern
., .... ... .
portion oi me city, is as it always hai been, a
source of great annoyance and expense to those I
who have it in charge. I would earnestly rec
ommend that the council order tha low land on
each side of th ditch filled so as to coufiuo the
water to a channel and this can bo dona with
but a small expense, as has been demonstrated
by council nan John on on his premises. If
this waa done it would reclaim somi valuable
I lots, and wo dd a Id nruh to tin health nnd
sppnarance of that iorl,io.i of o ir city, and is
in niy judgment, the only true solution t; the
ditch problem. The Hoo 1 gates under tho R
K crossing did its work well during tha- hut
high water and is at last what it should be.
The city during the last ye.u was very fortu
nate iu securing tho services of nil excellent
night watchman. This officer has icrform d his
duty iu a commendable manner and has given
general satisfaction.
It became my duty during the winter to
serve with the committee on fire and water in
examining stovepipes, chimneys and flues,
along our business streets, and I was much
surprised at the culpable carelessness of the oc
cupants of many 1'f oar places of business.
You cannot hi ion careful in your selectiou of
an officer to serve as fire warden, as an efficient
officer might prevent nmny fires during the
year. The ci iincil have under advisement
(yet incomplete) a plan, looking to the erection
of an engino house, on property leased from
tlie cmnty just west of 'he county jail, which
no d nlbt will be carried foiward io completion
by the incoming council.
The judiciary committee under instructions
have had under advisement the codification of
our city laws. They employed a competent j
attorney and submitted their report to the j
council, wnicn nas neen ailoptcl. And I am
informed by the committee on printing that
the manuscript is in the hands of the printer.
This much anj long needed Work will greatly
assist you in your admini-tration of affairs.
I would recommend that you take soioj
step to procure from the river or from the
spring south of the city, as soon as your finan
cial condition will allow, a supp y of
good, freh water, as the imperfect drain
age certainly will eventually impregnate
