We now hold $110.000 worth of our own bonds. This means a saving of approximately $5000 in interest to our taxpayers Twenty-five thousand dollars of auxiliary water bonds will be call­ able this summer and we plan to take up these bonds at the earliest opportunity consistent with a sound fiscal policy. The assessed valuation of the city has been set at approximately two and one- half million dollars for 1939 and the levy for the year will be lower than it has been for the past 15 years. <»■ Electric Department The electric department has continued its successful operation of the past and each year this de­ partment contributes considerable amounts to the other departments of the city for necessary munici­ pal services. For instance. $10.000 was spent last year for the pur­ chase of Pompadour mineral springs as directed by the vote of i the people.

The report of the chief of police which is submitted contem­ poraneously with my report shows that this department has contin­ ued its efficient record of law en­ forcement. I want to say that our police department has always, and will continue, to strictly enforce al) violations of law, and we will not countenance the violation of any law of which we have knowl­ edge. The hospital was leased to Mr. and Mrs. Karl Nims during the past year and I believe that their management of it has been very satisfactory. The library and park boards, aa indicated by their reports, have carefully operated their respective branches of the city government. The cemeteries have been prop­ erly maintained during the past year and an arrangement was made with the owners of the Har­ gadine cemetery under which the city assists in its maintenance. The Lithia springs committee has indicated that it will be in a position to offer some concrete recommendations to the council in the near future in order that we may utilize this valuable asset to our community. I appreciate the very kind con­ sideration and cooperation which I have received from the members of the council, the cit/ officials 'noth elective and appointive the city employes and the citizens of our community during the past year. A spirit of harmony has prevailed which has been of great help to me in performing the ad­ ministrative duties of my office, and I wish to thank all those who have helped to make the past year as successful as I think it has been. It is my desire and I know it is the desire of everyone con­ nected with the administration of government in this city to cooper­ ate with those who have business with the city and we shall wel- I come constructive suggestions re­ garding the future welfare of our city at any time.
