Gentlemen: ,
ILjft my ospeolal privilege to ad
dress .you tonight as the. Hurt Mayor
Of Oflor,. Sakin,
Not thai I
la tbl capacity.
I havo perfect confidence and ns
suranco that the return of the city
government to Republican manage
ment will bring prugrww along all
Jlnurt and (mure successful flnan'clal
administration of our city affairs.
Duu to tlie effort of our Commmer
clal club and a progressive legis-
latlvo delegation, Greater Salem has
become a reality.
With greater charge and larger re
BpowrthlllUes falling upon us, we as
the newly elected repreeefltotlves of
tie peoide, must take hold villi n
firm hand, and pursue Intelligent k1I
otas of government.
Wu owe It to our pride, at well
as to our eoMtlluents, to deal with
nil questions with our grenteat sense
of right nnd Justice, and not to allow
any senaOjOf limitation to bind our
hands from free nod progressive legis
lation. In mourning the unfinished bunions
of our predecessor, we cheerfully
taku up the work, nnd It Is our In
tendon to mako all the progress, pos
sible with what means wo already
bare, and all that we are nhlo to
enlist.
Tho question of Improving our
trvoU, beautifying our town and In
other vays bringing this municipality
up to the highest standards of clean
line, Is under agitation. Wo hasten
to extend to tho cltlsons our hearty
import towards all suoh measures,
and wean to enforce all present lawn,
rulwa and regulations, under our new
charter, Whore any deficiency may
appear let us remedy the same by
proper legislation to justly promote
ever legitimate referm: movement
and we beg lit return the cooper
atlcm of our oUlgeua In private work
and personal lutenwt.
We occupy. In relation to the elti
ejfc of Greater Salem, and lu the
conduit of the varloua affair of the
oily, the same relationship we would
wllh an Individual. We owe ou the
greatoat eeowmiy lit every depart
ment. w aw yiHi. cltlsens of Oreat-
an administration of unwlso economy.
Iet us follow up overy forward step
with proper protection.
I balleyo In an offlclont police force
and an cfllclent flro department; in a
well-organized stroet-cleanlng depart
ment; In aiding tho police, firemen,
and all other employee of the city by
supplying tiiem with tho best materi
als for their uso and paying thorn
wages adequate to Insuro a good pub
lic service.
Finance.
The question of finance being at
all times paramount In municipal gov
ernraent, and of greatest Importance
at the present time In affaire of our
own city, I call your attention to a
few figures showing the present bond
ed indebtedness and n few sugges
tions towards consorvntlvo and ra
tional conduct of our ilnanclal affairs.
Thero Is prevented herewith an Item
ized statement concerning our bond
is! debt:

Hy the above report It will bo seen
that the bonded Indebtedness Is 220,

Idly as poseltile. consistent with tho
welfare of our oity and tho determina
tion to protect our business men and
taxpayers against nny Increased tax

administration, this debt should bo
completely wiped out and without

revenues.
Lt us proceed with firm confidence
and offer every nesurance
llcthateverythlngpoeelble wlllbodonc
towards reducing this bonded leut,
nnd curtailing In other ways all un
necessary expense, thus reducing the
tax necessary to bo raised by the peo
ple. To economl.o tho exponso ac
count without crippling tho efficiency
of tho City In- any dopartment should
be our constant aim, and to ttmt end
wo shall glvo tho mattor of finances
our careful attention.
The Popular Loan.
I wish to especially cnll attontlon
to tho fact that 130,000 of tho hereto
fore mentioned bonds of Indebtedness
aro past duo. I would recommend the
Immediate refunding of theso bonds
at as low a rato of Interest obtaina
ble, and would also recommend what
is tormed "tho popular loan" plan as
tho best means for this redemption.
Keep our money at home. Give
our own people the first opportunity
to Invest In tholr own Securities, and
not send largo sums In lntoreet awny
from Salem ovory year, whoa under
the "popular loan" system this monoy
would bo paid out to cltlzenn at
homo, and they would at tho same
tlmo become stockholders nnd sure
ties for good huelnese administration.
As tho rovonues of tho city for this
current year nnd tho apportionment
of funde for the various departments
nro alroady determined undor tho
charter by tho retiring city bftlclals,
no furthor roforonco to our financial
situation Is required.
Protection to Merchants.
Anothor mattor of vital Imporlanco
Is tho propor protection of our mer
chants against transient venders,
fakirs, Imported bankrupt stocks, all
of which chenpon ontorprlso and ro
duco tho commercial standing of tho
city. Our city laws should bo amend
ed to socuroly protect our taxpajing
merchants from tho "hawkors" of
wnros whose only business Is 16 re
lievo tho public of money nnd to pny
Into tho city trensury an Inslgnlfloant
sum for tho privilege.
Without building a Chinese wall
about our city, lot ub protect legitl
mate commercial onterprlse and on-
courage the rouldont ami permanent
ly situated morchant.
In connection with the matter of
protecting our legitimate mercharite
from transient venders, I desire to
call attention to a clnw of vendors
fakirs, who aro permitted to stnnd
upon trie etreot comers, under tho
protection of our city laws, and de
liberately nib, defraud and cheat our
people.
I would recommend that all such
Pillaging entorprisee be ruled off our
streeta. such llcensoa be repealed and
strloken from our source or revenues,
and that such fakirs bo prohlbltod
irom appearing upon- our public
thoroughfare. A few dollars added to
our city treasury will not compensate
for the hundreds of dollars taken In
return.
It Is UHHeeoasary to refer to the
Inunoial sp.ct of some of ikmt, tx
hiuitlotta upon our streets In reganl
i our ouag loyi and girl. As lu a
cimimeu-tal way, the cost along Uin

Gentlemen, can we bo any too
nroud of our city? Can we bo any too
careful In our city affairs? Can we
be any too caroful In our prosontlng
to the stranger, the visitor, or the
resident, a clean, beautiful and con
genial city? With nil these natural
advantages, shall we not pay partic
ular attention from this tlmo on to
t), beautifying and permanently Im

such offorts we pledge tho most
to he Dub! hearty co-operation of this admlnls-
tranon u wie u iu- --

property owner shall be guaranteed
honost work worth one hundred cents
on the dollar for the outlay. Co-operation
on tho part of The citizens in
tho wny 6f cleaning and Improving
our streets would bo an effective
move. In referring to this matter of
cleaning and Improving our streets I
would recommend tho "rock pile" be
established nnd our city prisoners bo
placed at work. Labor performed by
tho city prisoner? should bo of a
character that will not doprlvo labor
ing mon from employment. To give
all tho employment possible from the
city government ta our worklngman
Is highly Important and propor, and
I heaitlly approve of thoso provisions
of our city charter guaranteeing rea
sonable hours and compensation for
labor.
I would earnostly recommend an
Immediate renumbering and renam
ing of our streets. That the name of
ovory street be placed In a conspic
uous position and that all residences
be correctly numbered. It Is dlfllcult
without n propor system of house
numborlng and street naming to lo
cato any given place, and with In
creasing population, tho soonor this
sorlous defect Is romedled the bettor
for all.
The New Wards.
Under our now chartor mucft terri
tory was added to the city and three
now wards wore created by our prede
cessors. Tho first councllmon from these
nowly added territories are with ub
tonight, and wo bid thorn and their
constituents a hearty wclcomo and
proposo to oxtond undor our admin
istration a holplng hand to our new
cltlzons and will scok to encourage
evory ondoavor towards benoficlal co
operation.
It must bo romombored, howovor,
by our nowly added cltlzona, that no
levy or taxation has over boon placed
upon them, henco there can bo no
Immediate monoy Invoetmont In the
nowly croated wards until such time
as rovonuo shall accrue for such pur
poses. Whilst awaiting rovonuoe
from future taxation, we can always
consider their want. Lot us glvo
them overy possible protection fromj
lire, improvo their driveways and give
them street lights where and when
practicable. Some time may bo re
quired In our settling down to smooth
and good "working ordor," but co
oporatlou and ready attention to all
such matters as arlso In tho conduct
of an enlargod and greator city gov
ernment will preclude anything but a
prosporouB and harmonious adminis

people of the new wards need some
police protection to keep down the

Septic Sewerage.
The Important question of sewer
age Is before Greater Salem. The In
creased boundaries will bring Into the
city limits thouenmte of homes and
