B. F. Dorris,
City Recorder.
.Major'. Auuual Jiriiaie.
Ill compliance with the duty Imposed
on me by the City charter I herewith
submit the following statemen::
11 EAI.TH.
During the entire past year the
health of our city has been very irood,
indeed, only a few eases of contagious
diseases have made their appearance,
prompt action in lUianantining pre
vented the spreadiug of the same.
SEWERAGE.
We have an excellent system of sew
erage, and for the coutlnued good
health of the oily I would recommend
that all parlies within proper distance
of the mains be required to make con
nection at once.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Our fire department is well and efll
cientiy organized, and is now reasona
bly well provided with the necessary
apparatus, and too much credit caunot
be given the fire boys for the prompt
and effective manner iu which they
have controlled the fires, aud prot.cted
aud preserved the property of our citi
zens during the past year. We have
had seveu fires during the entire year,
and tlie total loss of property over and
above Insurance ha been about $1,800,
which in a city of five thousand or
more inhabitants speaks voiuiues for
our fire department. For a more full
and detailed statement of the condi
tion, aparatns, etc., of this department
I respectfully refer you to the more ex
haustive report of the chief engineer.
STREETS.
Our streets and sidewalks are now
iu a reasonable good condition!
and will require constant repair and
careful attention.
The police service has been almost
faultless; not a single business house
has been robbed during the past two
years. At request of otllcers the cigar
and tobacco stores have generously
closed their doors on Sundays. There
has beeu ouiy 47 arrests since my last
annual message, and of this number
only 0 were for drunkenness, breaking
all former records. I submit that
this is a most remarkable record,
peainlly when we consider the great
excitement and crowds iu tho city
necessarily attendant upon the elec
tions of a presidential year. I think I
can justly attribute this lo the care and
ability of the marabal and nightwatch,
who have been at all times ou hand.
aud ready to check aud pievent
crime rather than to make arrests for
fe9. I have always advised them to
this course, because I believe au ounce
of preventative is worth a pouud of
cure. I feel that I cannot now too
highly commend them for their effici
ency In the faithful discharge of their
duties. If they have made mistakes
I am partly to blame, for they have
tried to faithfully follow my instruc
tions. I am under many obligations
to them.
BAWDY HOUSES.
It, allords me much pleasure to in
firm you that all bawdy houses with-
lu the limits of the city havo been sup
pressed; this was made possible by the
high moral character or ourcltizens,
LI0HT3 AND WATF.K.
We have elllcient systems of lights
aud wuter, owned and controlled by
private corporations. I rubrult that
the city should own It own system of
water works and electric lights, Be
cause it now takes about one half of
all the revenues of the city to purchase
Its lights and water, and at a total cost
of about $4,000 per annum.
FINANCE.
Wercvcome to the most Impor
taut subject with which an individual,
a community, a city, or nation has to
deal, its finances.
In my last annual message I reom
mended that great ea-e be cxerciw d
touching the city's finances, owing to
the great depreciation iu the value of
properly, and the consequent decline
in the amount of the revenues or tne
city, it was demanded, and absolute y
iiecesarv to make considerable deduc
tion in the expenditure in order thi
tin- burden? of taxation might rest as
lightly as psibleou the pp!e.
The council is ti be congratulated
tliul ou account of their wise and eco
nomical inaiKigC'iu'iit of the city's ex
penditures, our most sanguine hopco
have been more than leal zed as will
apivar from itie following:
llie i ilea mo Irom licenses for lhr
year ending April 1st, 1SH0, was
f '5,705.7"i whereas the income from
licenses for the- year ending April 1st.
1S:C, was only $2 TtM.lVi, or $1,002,70
less than last year, but to oll'n t this
we have saved on lights $313 35, on
streets $1,216 4, and on all other ex
penditures iu lika proportion, making
a total saving to tho city of about
$3,000. The total Indebted no's as per
recorder's report April 13th, ISiki,
was $19,513.37. The present indebted
ness of the city as per the recorder's
report of April 12th, hS97is $17,491.53,
showing a reduction of tha total In
debtedness of $2,021.84.
Members of the concil, permit mo to
congratulate you upon this splendid
showing, aud the wisdom with which
you have guarded the interests of your
fellow citizens.
Now members of the council of the
city of Eugene, beforo taking leave of
you as your presiding olllcer, permit
me to thauk you for uniform cour
tesy extended me ou all occasions. I
uow turn over the ollleoof mayor, with
all its duties and responsibilities lo my
worthy successor, Wm Kuykendall,
who has been chosen to this responsi
ble position by the voice of tho people,
and bespeak for him your worthy aud
careful consideration.
Respectfully submitted this 12lh
day of Apiii, 1S97.
J. V), Matlock,
Mayor.
Ill a - o r
li uy kt-iiilalPM
Aildreas.
Ill a up; ii r a I
I understand It has become tin cs.
tablished custom for the mayor ol Eu
gene, upon first assuming thu duties
of office, to read a short lnaugur.il ad
dress to tlif council. Pursuant to this
custom, it is my privilege tills evening
to greet you, gentlemen, witli a few
thoughts and suggestions.
Being so new to tho duties of the
olllce, and not yet having had time to
look into the details of either our laws
orunaue.es, you will hardly expect me
to bo prepared to oiler any specific
recommendations. So I shall only
oiler a few thoughts of a very general
character, as to our duties and Iho
principles that ought to govern us,
First.'Jt goes without saying, that
with tha existing hard limes, It will
be necessary to guard, with scrupulous
care, the finances of our city. Our
management must be not only honest
and capable, hut must be rigidly ceo
mimical. With prices depressed, ull
incomes reduced, ami all properly
values diminished, public expenses
must bo lowered correspondingly. As
individuals wc Iiavo all found it nec
essary to economize. So must u cily
economize, for It is only .an aggrega
tion of individuals aud individual in
terests. We must not only boar this in
mind iu our collective work asa eoun-
oll, but it is particularly necessary for
you each to make economy a special
caro aud study iiT that department of
city business over which you will pre
side as chairman of a committer.
And this leads mo to remark that
much of your success as councilmen
will depend upon t lie amount of per
sonal attention you give to whatever
you may undertake in tho Interests of
the city. It does not take great in.
telleotuai ability to be a good council
man, but it does lake faithfulness to
the interests of the public. Most any
business man is competent to decide
any question Intelligently, thut may be
b ought before you for solution. But
there are only a few men who aro will
ing to devote enough time to their
particular department of the work of
the city, to make a first class council
man. In accup'.ing tills public trust,
you voluntarily assume au obligation
to llie city to sacrifice a large amount
of your time, anil much of your per
sonal comfort, for the general good of
the public. I do not think you will
prove recreant to the trust.
While the present officers and coun
cil mav not bo down 'o history us the
originators ol any great work, or the
prosecutors of any brilliant scheme, I
lioe we shall I accounted worthy of
commendation in our own day for
faithfulness to our duty. I hope ll,l,t
In tliis matter, you will be able to at
least earn the reward of a good con-
lence, for I assure y u thut you need
expect little else in the way of rccom
ieuse. As to our finances I shall oiler no
ingestions whatever. I hope that I
have selected a committee on finance
till will give careful and intelligent
consideration to ull brunches of the
subjecl.
As lo legislation, it miiih to me but
little additional ia needed. That
which is required I y llie natural course
of development, and Improvements,
will suggest itself to you from time to
lime as requited. There will, doubt
less, be some, pressure for legislation
along reformatory lines. On Hits
point 1 would ad vino against Itasly
action. Asugineral rule such legis
lation means liitlo reform. It Is not
good policy to cumber tho ordinance
book Willi laws that aro a dead letter
for lack of public sentiment back of
them. I think it is generally conceded
that we now have the moat orderly
quiet and lawubldiug city ill tha val
ley, 'lite message of lite retiring
mayor has been complete testimony to
this fact. I am quite leady to admit,
however, that wo might be better.
And I also realize that our peculiar
couditious demand of us that we main
tain t certain pre-eminence lu tho line
of law and order. Wo have in our
midst the principal institution of
learning in the slate. Hundreds of
young people, from all parts of Oiegont
gather hero from year to year, and
must of necessity, develop in the
moral atmosphere of cya city, what.
ever it may be. Wo owe it to these
young people, to their absent parents,
aud to the state at large, to maintain
the most wholesome moral conditions
possible.
Furthermore, there Is a llnanclul
phase of this question that must uot
be overlooked. The University of
Oregou Is our greatest Industry looked
at from a mirely buslucss point of
view. Not only are the $30,000, ap
propriated by tho state, spent here iu
our midst, but a large sum Is left here
by each of tho hundreds of students
every year, to say nothing of that left
by the multitude of visitors to the
pupils and tha school. Tl'.osj latter
sums are wholly contingent upon the
number iu attendance upon the Uui
versity, as Indeed, Is to some degree
the stale appropriation. Tha attend
ance will depend, to somo extent, up
on the repulution Eugono maintains
for sobriety, decency aud law and or
der. However philosophically parents
may look upon other people's children
being subjected to temptation, each
one Is nnxlons that his particular son
and daughter shall be educated with
favorable moral surroundings. Hence
there Is uot onlv abstract rlglit lu the
plea for a moral city, but there is a
business ten so In lias well.
So, I take It, any legislation looking
to the moral Improvement of our city
is worthy of your moat car ful consid
eration. On the other hand It must be
remember, d that people) cannot bo
made good by law. You can, at best
only make It easy to do right anil hard
to do wrong.
I believe, too, that Ihero Is no other
Hue of legislation whose consideration
demticds so much caution nud com
mon senseus tkis. Reforms aro rarely
b. ought about by rcvolanlionary
measures. They uie rutin r n growth
and that usually coincident with grow
lug public sentiment. Spasmodic
eflorta at refoi m, o ll her In community
or individual, usually n stilt lu little or
no iiood. and aro followed by a dis
astrous reaction.
Furthermore, you w 111 allow me to
suggest that legislation ought not to
he enacted ut tho dictation of any fac
tum, rluir. cluss or other division of
society. You will find ull grades of
opinion on public questions, tin par
tialis of which are ranged somewhat
into groups or classes. There are those
who would maintain In the city tho
rigid discipline of a Sunday school
room, while tho oilier txtreinu would
want to convert It Into a free and easy
beer garden.
Whether vour nerooual wishes or
beliefs lean toward the one extreme or
the other you must remember that you
are representatives of all the people
and must discountenance any attempts
lo eive an undue advantage to one
class over the whole people. On the
other hand we must grant to each di
vision of society the greatest liberty
c insistent witli the best Interests of
tho wliolo community. That old
phrase, "the greatest good to the great
est number," lias never been excelled
as an expression of the highest purpose
of legislation. But in gaining this
greatest good, tho rights of no par
Ocular class must be Invaded.
Out of resnect for tills principle of
securing the best good for the many
you will find that you cannot please
(terfuctly, any one division of society
Your Work must always be lu some
s .'nso, a contpiomlse an averaging up
of all opinions, ull sentiments and nil
rights. In fuct, our luws ought to he
merely the crystullzed product of av
ernge public sentiment. If you find i
the further Inv- stlgallon of our ordi
nances Unit they do nit tliUH n fleet
public sentiment, then I here is room
for change. At tlie pn sunt lime I do
i,i)t see I hut there te ft demand
much that is new, aud
therefore have no recomiujndationi'.
In closing, allow mo to say a word
about my personal intentions, aud our
'editions as mayor and council. While
not insensible to the honors that at
tach to the ntHce, I assure you that I
agree to undertake its responslblllths
largely with the purpose of securing
harmony and good will among all
people. 1 n the past, some of our local
contests have been marked with ruther
undue acrimony. I trust that all such
feelings is a part of the dead and
buried past. I shall use my utmost
endeavor to servo the people faithfully
and w ell, to guard well every interest
of the city and to see that the laws are
fully executed. I shall try to be
broad-minded and fair to all Interests.
I do uot want to he Iho olllcer of auy
class or faction. I want to be the
Mayor of all tho people.
I am sure that our relations as may
or and council will lie pleasant and
harmonious. I believe von are eicu
here from no selfish motives, and that
all your efl'orls will bo actuated by a
desire for peace and harmony and the
bt Interests of our beloved olty. You
are tho custodians of the n Hairs of tho
city. I am only your survant to do
your bidding. I await your further
pleasure.
