Mayor's Annual Report for 1919 In the water department the city hat worked under difficulties during the past year. Due to the dry season and the depletion of the underground water wpply we have been compelled to overwork the pumps, a proceeding that hat resulted in expense to the city and dissatisfaction among patroni. ' To obtain necessary supply of this essential we have undertaken through an expenditure of $00,000 in water bonds, to secure I grav ity system and it Is on the threshold of this prospect that the New Year finds us. We have made survey, have had plans and specifica tions prepared and now 'seek workmen and material - to make the gravity system a reality. We expect to obtain the water from Teal Creek and when this system is put in Monmouth will have an ample - . supply of water for years to come, We hope to have the.work com pleted by July 1st, Due to state highway work our streets were torn up and In an un sightly conditon during a large part of the summer, but now, with the state highway completed through a part of the city we may con gratulate ourselves on the summer's work, We hope the highway ' i work to the south will be taken up and pushed during the coming ""Tummer. The act of making Monmouth a separate road district has given us road money for the first time in a number of years and with this, jud cioualy expended, we hope to make a decided improvement on our city streets during the year ahead of us, City Recorder' $ Financial Report for the Year Ending December 31 1919 , GENERAL FUND Outstanding warrants, December 31, 1918 $7,035.67 Street lighU 834.44 Water for hydrants 662.00 Road work and gravel 308.32 Marshal's salary 234.00 Recorder fees and expenses . 148.48 Printing and advertising 85.35 Clt attorney's fees 84.60 City clean-up work 42.95 City treasurer's salary and expenses 41.25 City Health Officer's salary ...... 15.00 Election and incidentals 035 Interest on outstanding warrants .... 127.80 Total . $9,620.01 Reseivcd from teamster's licer.se j $42.60 Received from rent from Lumber Co. - 125.00 Received froinCountyTVeasuror 2,331.86 " Totul .... $2,499.36 .
