j To The Hon. Councilmen:
' J f desire to make some recoinmen-
1 J dations concerning the welfare of our
! city for 1911.
1 I recommend that we should engage
an Expert Accountant to examine our
books and vouchers thoroughly for *
the yeaTs 1909 and 1910. I think ev- i
ery municipality should have their j
books examined at lAsst one eacn j
year, by some Expert Accountant, and I
| by a party who is* disinterested and
i nowise connected with our Officials.
| 1 also recommend the installation
■ of an up to date set of books for the
| city of Waycross, as the method we
j are now pursuing In the way of keep-j
j ing our City Records is absolutely {
wrong, and should be remedied. )
j I understand that some of our |
Councilmen are in favor of abolishing i
| the office of Chief of Police. I do 1
| not recommend that this should be*
i done, ns th<* city of Waycrosn has]
i now gotten beyond village Ideas, and
|j has developed Into a magnificent City
[of the Cosmopolitan Type, and It U«
I therefore necessary for us to maintain
an up to date Police Force,^ headed
by an efficient Chief, and it is our
duty to see that his assistants are
fearless but conservative Policemen.
, » i
• 1 am not in favor of increasing the ^
( salaries of Officials this year, with ^
the exception of our City Marshal Mr.
J. W. Colley, who, If re-elected, should ^
receive an increase In salary as he ^
has been faithful In the discharge of }
bis duties, and is ever watching out f
for the welfare of the city, and did
not receive an Increase last year {
when the salaries of ao&e qt our otbet
Officers were increased. (
The duties of our Tax Collector and
Receiver have been, Increased mater
ially by our new system of collect
lng and receiving Taxes, and on that '
account the work In this office Is' (
about twice as hard os It was prev
iously. It might be well for us t£.
consider a small increase in that po
sition.
The paBt administration was se
verely criticised by many, for our
action in increasing the salaries of
the Policemen and others last year,
but I have personally, never had any
upologies to make for the part I lot
In that matter. I believe they Justly
deserved the small Increase we made
them. |
The Cow question no doubt will - be
one we will 4iave to deal with this
your, as the same has nlready been
agitated. While we hold the power
as a body to pass an ordinance to
prohibit the Cows from running at
largo on our streets, I do not believe
it fair to all the people, for us to ex
ercise and force that privilege. I
therefor^ suggest that un election be
called at sumo future date, and this
matter be settled by a majority of the
