Y ou are all famil
iar with the provisions in our city
charter which makes it the duty of
the Mayor to ‘ ‘at least once in each
year communicate to the Council
the condition, financially and other
wise, of the city, and recommend
such measures for the peace, health
and prosperity thereof as he shall
deem expedient” I do not wish to
seem officious iu making this com
munication to you soon after taking
up the duties of this office, hut there
are some matters which I deem ex
pedient for the peace, health and
prosperity of our little city and to
which it is ray duty to call your at
tention, but in doing so I shall be
as brief as possible to make the mat
ters explicit.
You are well acquainted with the
financial condition ol the city which
is fully set forth in our treasurer’s
monthly statements to this body.
While this condition is not all that
could he desired, yet we are on a
substantial basis and with careful
and conservative admiuistiation, we
shall, in due time, be able to keep
up the running expenses and pay
off all of our indebtedness without
levying any taxes therefor— pro
vided, ot course, that our piesent
income be not materirlly diminished
and no serious disaster befall us.
If such a recommendation be neces
sary to so able and competent a
council as this, I would recommend
retrenchment in expenditures in
every possible direction when not
inconsistent with the progress o f an
enterprising and rapidly increasing
population. I do not advocate a
penny wise and pound foolish”
administration; but as a former
member of this council, I am in
clined to think that the tendency
has been toward rather a too free
expenditure of the city’s funds.
Nevertheless, I am bound to say,
that on looking carefully over the
several items, I am unable to point
out one which docs not seem to
have been expedient aud necessary
lor our peace and prosperity.
The paramount object, and, in
fact, the principal issue, upon which
my predecessor and the members
of this council were elected two
years ago, was the question o f a
water system to be owned and con
trolled by the city. What a great
amount of time aud thought and
energy were necessarily expended
iu accotnplishiug this object, only
those who have been closely identi
fied with it can conceive.
But it
has been accomplished and the re
sult now promises greater satisfac
tion than had been anticipated by
the most sanguine.
This system
will, in time, not only pay for itself
by the iucome it will produce, but
can, if necessary, be made a source
of revenue to the city.
There are other public utilities
which should be owned and operat
ed by our city, such as telephones
aud electric lights, but which, in
the present condition of our excheq
uer cannot now be considered.
There is one matter to which I
wish to call your attention and
which seems to me to be o f great
importance. This is the question
of a pest house or hospital for indi
gent patients having contagious dis
eases. Auy city situated as is ours,
so near the coast and a central and
distributing point for all travel
through the county, is liable at any
time to have a case o f this kind to
care for. This matter has frequent
ly been discussed by the council,
but usually during the excitement
of a contagion. The old saw, “ In
time of peace prepare for war,”
may well fie applied to this case,
and I feel like urging this matter
upon you as one o f great import
ance.
The question of proper drainage
and sewer systems for our city is
certainly of great importance, as

ness would make the total amount
more than the city could stand; yet,
the lives of our citizens should not
be weighed in the balance with dol
lars and cents.
What the proper
course to putsue in this matter is at
present, I d o not feel competent to
advise, but call your attention to it
as one for your most earnest consid
eration.
The ordinances of our city are
lame and very deficient iu many re
spects and should be revised and
amended. Many of them are hoary
with age and entirely unsuited to
present conditions. Others, which
have been virtually abrogated by
being publicly and generally dis
regarded, should be repealed.
It
has been said that the best governed
community is the one having the
fewest laws on its statute books,
which may be interpreted to mean
lew laws but those few strictly in-
forced, but with justice and mercy.
There are a few ordinances which
seem necessary which are not on
our statute books, and to which I
wish to direct your attentiou as fol
lows:
1. An ordinance to abate
nuisances. This principally for
the purpose of compelling prop
erty owners to keep their prem
ises in at least a reasonable
condition from a sanitary stand
point.
2 . A more stringent ordi
nance taxing peddlers and ven
dors. This for the protection
o f our merchants who help pay
our taxes, build up our town
and spend their money with
us; and for the exclusion, at
least partially, of the numer
ous traveling fakirs who take
the people’s money for their
trash, pay no tax, no water
rent, sometimes not even their
board, and carry what money
they get out o f the town and
county.
3 . A strict ordinance against
vagrancy, if well advertised
and strictly enforced, will fre
quently keep undesirable char
acters out of town.
The matter o f more city wharf
room has been often discussed by
this council and it is generally con
ceded that more room is an abso
lute necessity and that the neces
sity increased with the days. The
heirs of the late J. A . Lyons have
made a proposition to the city to
lease a small piece of frontage for a
term of years to the city if the city
will build a wharf on it.
This
would give temporary relief, and I
would recommend that you take
immediate action iu the matter if
satisfactory arrangements and terms
can be made with these heirs.
The retiring council did some ex
cellent work in the matter of
charter amendments.
There are
yet some matters, however, in out
charter which could be changed to
good advantage, owing to change
in conditions and other causes.
But as our state legislature does not
meet until next year, I shall not
now discuss the changes I would
suggest.
Respectfully submitted,
J. J. S t a n l e y ,
Mayor of the City of Coquille.

Age and the Presidency.
President Roosevelt will celebrate
his forty-sixth birthday just before
the date set for the November elec
tion. lie is the same uge as the
German Kaiser.
The Republican
candidate for vice-president, Mr.
Fairbanks, has not only had the
good political fortune to have been
born in Ohio, but he is still in the
prime of life; he is 52 years old.
In the ordinary course of events
both men should have before them
many years of usefulness.
Mr. Roosevelt was the youngest
man ever inaugurated as president
though he was not directly elected
to the office.
Of those directly
elected by the people the record is
held by President Grant, who w o b
47; Clevolaml comes next, having
been 48 at the date of his inaugu
ration, whilo Garfield was 49.
If
Roosevelt is elected and lives to be
inaugurated he will still hold the
palm for youth.
Until Zachary
Taylor’s day all the presidents when
they were inaugurated were in the
late fifties or early sixties, William
Henry Harrison, the oldest of them
all, having been 68 ; Taylor was 51.
From that time forward no presi
dent has been 60 years old at the
date of his inauguration, with the
single exception of Buchaunn, who
was 66 . Lincoln was 52, Hayes 54,
Harrison 55 aud McKinley 54. Iu
this direction, as well as many oth
