Got NTtt.: Again the cycle of time has brought us around to our annual meeting, ami it becomes niv duty to make tome suggestions to you in regard to the welfare of our city. At our last an nual meeting we was opperating un der unroll charter. At that time I lei onunended the drafting of a new charter, a- the old one was defective in ma ny respects, and one thing that I specially recommended was that the limits of tuiri it v indebtedness benised from .?U)'X) to f 2'.00. This met with some little objection on the ground that toraic the limits might cause ex travagant', an I that w would not like ly keep wi'hin the limits anyway. But the $2100 limits was a piovi.-ien of the new chat ter, which the common council authorized, and which btrame a law at the last regular session of our legislature, ami the financial exhibit which 1 have just read in your hear ing, is conclusive evidence that for one year nt least we have not been extrav agant. The reduction made in our city indebtedness the past year laces u within the limits of our chatter, anil is evidence that without H.ine unac countable expense we are self-supporting and can live within our means. STUIICTS. There has been too much complaint about our street improvements, an I the condition of irrigating ditches through the streets. I would recommend that the council look to a general distribu tion of street work thioughout the city, giving to each street its ortion of work ; and I would specially recom mend that you control, by ordinance. Ihe irrigating ditches, that the)' may not be a nuisance in the streets or to private pioperty, as they have been in many instances heretofore. omcKHs. I recommend that this pay and com pensation of ollicers be one r)f the first things you take into consideration Every person performing work for the city should hav'e a fair compensation lor their labor. 1 would suggest that the council enact an ordinance allow ing each member a compensation of an amount agreed uj on by you for bis at tendance at each meeting, an I noth ing for non-attendance. My opinion is that this Will iiihiire a prompt atten dance of our councihnen, and we Will not this year have any trouble to gel a cpiorutu as we have had in tome in stances heretofore. OKDIKANCEFi W have many old ordinances on the city books that are a dead letter. Oth ers have perhaps been more or less afl'eeterl by the late laws of tile State. I would recommend that you iiiake a general revision of ordinance, and put the city on a better system of reg ulations. Our police system is very poor, and I think might be materially improved with no great cost to thecity. cliAntr.it. Gentlemen, I have this to say for our charter. In my opinion it is defective in soltie respects, and one thing that conies to my mind lioW, is in regard to street Work. I doii t think the provis ions of the charter in that respect meets the iippiobation of the citizens, or of this council. I would recom mend that tho cOlincil axatniue the charter closely, aitd comply strictly with the provisions of it While nlaw; but anything you iind in- it that you are certain is in conflict with the best intea'sfs of the city and citizens, tiike steps to haVe it atiicnded ut the earli est possible, moment.
