In response to complaints of many citizens whose property is flooded along the North Mill creek race, Councilman Hutton introduced a resolution to abate that race as a public nuisance. The reso lution recites that tho ditch has been maintained during many years as a nuisance, and damaging to the property along Its course, endanger ing, by overflow, tho health of that portion of tho city by its disease breeding construction. The resolu tion closes with these werds: "Thereforo, bo It resolved, that the Willamette Vallev Milling company be notified by the city marshal to abate said nuisance at once, and if said company does not take steps within ten days to abate said nuisance, the city attorney Ib di rected aud required to institute such proceedings as will thoroughly and completely abate the same."

HOLVERSON, 301 Commercial Street. Or the Condition of tho City Finan cial and Otherwise, Following are the important feat ures of Mayor D'Aicy's message to tho ceuncil: hard work. The council of 1891 was tho hard est worked one iu tho history of our city, and endeavored In many ways to pass measures that it thought were for tho best interest of all con cerned. It failed, however, to act on n recommendation that I made ono year ago and reduce somo of tho expenditures for salaries or oincers of the city. In fact, It not only failed to lesson any of the expendi tures for ofllcers' salaries, but has seen fit to increase tho salaries of tho engineers of steam fire engines from 510 to $75 per month. finance. Tho bonded indebtedness for the construction of the two bridges across tho Willa mette river is $50,000 Tho bonded indebtedness for tho construction of Marlon at root mid Ferrv street sewers Is 19.000 Total bonded ludebtedness-SfiO.OOO From the best information at huud the floating indebtedness, at the be ginning of tho year 1891, was between $24,000 and $25,000. Our floating Indebtedness at tho begin ning of the year is about $23,000, Under the provisions of tho charter as amended at the session of the legislature of 1891, the city has tho power to bond this indebtedness to $20,000, which, so far, it has failed to do. Wo should be careful not to incur a largo indebtedness against tho city for any purpose. Our in debtedness at present amounts to it least $97,0)0. I would recommend that means be devised whereby a portion of the indebtedness oxisting against the city bo reduced during the eusulnij year. bridges. The high water of 189 J loft the bridges In a very bad condition. They were temporarily repaired aud fixed up for use by tho council of 1890. It was found necessary during tho past year to rebuild theso bridges and it has been done at a cost of $5216. Tne following bridges have been built during the past year Capital street bridge, Twelfth street bridge, Fourteenth street bridge, bridge across Mill race on Church street, Fourteenth street Queen truss bridge, a bridge across Mill race on Fourteenth street. Tiie foot bridge on Commercial street- across South Mill creek has been repaired at an expense of $150. Tho bridge known as tho High street bridge, across South Mill creek, although it was planned and commenced by the council of 1890, was completed and paid for by the council of 1891, at'an expense of $1473. More work has been dono during tho past year In building and rebalring bridges with in the city limits than has been dono by the city for a number of years preceding it. Tho work is of a permauent and satisfactory char acter. THE.SEWERS. During the past year the council has been obliged to expend consid erable money in repairing and re building a portion of the sowers of the city, that should have been properly constructed in tho first instance. Some of the work that was dono by the contractors who built our sewers was of such a char acter that it should not have been accepted by the city. There are many defects in the sowerago that will bavo to be remedied at great expenso to tho city. Hereafter when the city enters into improve ments of a permauent nature moro care and attention should bo given to the matter than was exercised in tho construction of our sewers. OUR STREETS. The streets during tho year 1S91 huvo received the careful considera tion of tho council. An effort has been made to adopt some system of permanent Improvements that would not only meet tho approval of our citizens but would bo for the best Interests of the city. The coun cil, in considering the matter, has had a great deal of difficult work to do, and has given its time freely with a desire to do what it deemed for the best Interests of tho tax paj ers. Tho difference of opinion as to the kind of material to bo used in making permanent Improve ments on our streets has boon tho cause of a good deal of delay. This delay has enabled the council tq better understand the question, The city, however, after nearly ono year's deliberation on tho matter, let a contract for grading, draining and graveling the streets which the contractor failed to comply with nnd carry out. It Is proper that the citizen who is to pay for tho street improvements should bo consulted as to the kind of material to bo used and the manner in which lm. provements should be made. Street improvements are largely a matter of experiment, and It is difficult to adopt any kind of per mauent btreet Improvement that will give eiitlre satisfaction. This Is a question you will consider dur ing the ensuing year, and I trust that you will consider it in a man. ner to deal fairly and equitably by our citizens. police department. The police department In a very Important brunch of our city gov ernment. The moat reliable men should be selected for police ollk'ers. At the beginning of the last year I recommended a saving to tho city In this department of $2280 per year, I still think that recommendation WM comro', and tuat '.lie city would bo properly protected by reducing the poltco forvo and changing the salar ies received by each police officer from $75 to $05 per mouth. I reiter ate the recommendation I made to the council at tho beginning of the year 1891. Tho cost of the police department during tho year 1891 (including tho marshal's lees) was $5,495.76.
