THE MAYOR'S ANNUAL flESSAQE.
Communicated to the City Council by
Mayor Jones.
To the Honorable the Common
Council of the City of To
ledo: Gentlemen:
In accordance with the geneial
laws of the State ot Oregon, gov
erning incorporated cities in the
state of Oregon, and in compliance
of section 26 thereof, I herewith
doubt but that money wisely spent
for the purpose of fire protection in
our city is not only economy, but
it is also a duty that the citizens
may expect of the council to take
some action in this direction. I
have no doubt but that the business
men of the City would heartily co
operate with the City in this mat
ter and two or three hydrants might
be placed along Front street with
suitable hose. etc.. or possibly a
submit my annual message showing ' hook and ladder company organized.

of Tohdo, with such recommenda
tions for the improvement aud pros

ent at this time for your consider

The City has no bonded indebted
ness. By the above showing it will be
seen that the City of Toledo is out
of debt, with a small balance iu the

city fathers to carefully look after
the general welfare of the City,
ssd it is !,WM,r "1 Ver1 lor them
to appropiiate monty for and where
it will be to the interest and ad
vantage to all the City and public
at large. Nature has done much
for our City and it is nicely located,
but, nevertheless, it will only be
what we make it, and if we expect
to keep in the procession with our
sister towns we must protect, onr
business men. And If we expect
that good live business men will
settle and do busines and help to
build up our City we must offer
them some inducements, at least
protect their property, improve
our streets and make good., roads
leading into our City so that people
who want to do business with us
can get into town at all seasons of
the year.
After a careful examination I
would also recommend that the city
ordinances be compiled and pub.
lished.
From the experience of the past
treasury, not including property , month or two I am led to believe
owned by the city or the delinquent . that the council will have to adopt
a regular system of drainage, and I
would suggest that the street com
mittee carefully examine into this
matter and report or submit some

tax for the year 1896, which I have
no doubt will be nearly if not quite
all collected.
Besides this the City has made
some splended and lasting improve- plan for the consideration of the
ments, and I very much doubt if council. The street commissioner
there be another city in the State ! should also see to it that proper

the progress that our city has, not-. all natural waterways. Experience
withstanding the continued hard j has taught us that had this been

gratulate the citizens of Toledo for
the spirit, of improvements that
they have manifested during the
past year, for I notice in going over
the delinquent roll in the recorder's
office that the great majority of
those who are delinquent iu their
street work are non-residents.
It is with pleasure that I can
honestly congratulate the common
council for their careful and effici
ent management of the affairs of the
last fall it would have saved some
ot the property owners many dol
lars. The city should take care of
the water leading from the lake
above town and thereby protect
and guard against the property of
people living in the lower part of
town. I would recommend that
all improvements and petitions for
improvements from all poitions of
the city be looked at by the council,
through the same pair of glasses,

sideration that the duties of the
street commissioner be more par
ticularly defined so as to avoid any
friction with the street committee
or otherwise.
I would further recommend that
the council during the coming
spring take some action in the
matter of fire protection. As it is
now our business houses have no
fire protection whatever, and in
surance on Front street is at the
rate of ten per cent, per annum,
and at such rate no business man
can afford to insure, and they are
therefore compelled to carry their
own risks. If our merchants are
obliged to pay such insurances or
carry their own risks, we, who
patronize them are also compelled
to pay a much higher price for our
goods, and people living outside
the City will go elsewhere to do
their trading. Therefore every one
feels the loss, and there can be no
owners be compelled to comply
with the law in the matter of street
assessments. Our citizens have a
just complaint and a "kick com
ing" when they improve their
property, and non-residents are
dilatory about doing their work.
Respectfully submitted
B. F. Jones, Mayor.
Senator Mitchell's resolution
calling for information concerning
the delay in the work on Yaquina
Bay and the Willamette and Yam
bill rivers, has elicited the informa
tion from the war department that
the matter of Yaquina bay is in tbe
hands of Capt. W. L. Fisk, local
engineer in charge, who is pre-
pamig a piujcvi iui lUC WOTK. X nC
report says: ' 'The apparent delay
in tbe preparation of tbe project by
tbe local engineer may be attributed
to tbe necessarily careful consider
ation of the engineering features of
the proposed improvement, involv
ing as it does an estimated ex
penditure of $025,000."
