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 hllfrtinllliii c * L - ™< GPEN DEAD UUVlIIIVUIIU at V al D08T A.
