GENTLEMEN OF TDK CITY (’O' NOIL:
The First year of your Adminis
tration having drawn to a close and
as we now enter upon another, I
feel it my duty to give to von my
views on subjects of general pub
lie interest. Before proceeding fur
tiler it is my pleasure to thunk you
heartily for your kiial support and
•co-operation in all matters during
the past year which looked to the
•advancement socially, morally and
financially of our city. One lias
hut to look around and note the
many improvements that have tak
en place during the past twelve
months. Many of the old land
marks have.disappearcd, and in their
stead new ideas of the present age
have tqkcn their places. The plat
forms are no more, but few of the
sheds are left, and 1 hope their
-dav will he short. Electricity lias
■been substituted for the oil lamp
which l as proved a great blessing
to our people and I hope your dili
gence will not lag in advancing our
■city in every manner during 18!H.
Let the waste places he improved,
streets he beautified; all of which
will have a tendency to cause new
homes t<> he built, and our popula
tion to increase.
Finances.
First is our financial standing.
As you know when entering upon
your* duties, you found a debt
standing, amounting to forty nine
hundred dollars; during the year
taxes have been more closely col
lected. and more promptly paid,
and each obligation promptly met.
The debt now due amounts to forty-
five hundred dollars, and it is my
hope and desire to liquidate most,
if not all of it, during the
present year, which will he grati
fying news to the tax payers, and
to you. By a unanimous vote of
our people you were authorized to
issue twenty two thousand dollars
worth of Bonds, ten thousand of
• -nine being a donation to the -Girls
Normal ai.d Industrial school,
twelve thousand was loaned the
same, to be return* d to the city.
The walls of this institution each
-lav grows larger, and i:i a few
years The (iirls Normal and In
dustrial School will he a great
Messing to your state, and a source
of much pride toour city. We should
throw around it every fostering
•arc. as it is a sister to our Middle
Georgia Military and Agricultural
College which bus proved such a
blessing to our community and the
-tale at large. The interest upon
the twenty-two thousand dollars
worth of bonds amounts to $1820.00,
per. annum, donation Middle (Jeorr
gia Military and Agricultural Col
lege $2 100.1 0. Eddy school for the
colored $500.00. Making a Dotal to
(Education of$8,820.00, which 1 con-
skier a good investment for our
vity, you will find the amount of
t he year's appropriat ions on t he list
••submitted, and would recommend
tlrxt you mukc | revision to meet
same." J would call your at ten
♦ion to the colored college now
•about to be located in some portion
of our state. ()t;r colored citizens
have asked that your honorable
body take some action in making
a donation, provided the school is
: kx-aled here. A donation of five
■thousand dollars In bonds would
call for an interest i f three hun-
GtvnI per year at (1 per. cent. Which
would be "a small investment to ob
tain an institution that would add
considerable wealth to our city.
And l would recommend that your
honorable body give the matter
•oarefulaml prompt consideration. (if
course, hefore anything delinate
could be done, the people by a vote
would have to give their consent
to the issue of these Bonds, but I
believe our people will gladly do so
by a large vote favorable to the
issue.
The only resource you have now
to meet your obligations is though
the medium of taxation; as the city
•grows the expenses will increase.
It lias never been the custom to
make appropriations for the ditfer-
*iiit departments, but I think it
would be well to do so. '1 he act
providing for city assessors, 1 con
sider a very wise one. The inn ease
■of returnable property the past
year over previous years are large
ly due to the slips upon which taxes
were returned, combined with the
watchful eye of our city clerk, Mr.
<jeo. Caraker, in which he was sus
tained by the gentlemen who you
wisely selected us city Assessors.
Taking the past year's receipts and
-disbursements as a basis for the
present year J would recommend as
follows:
•On Real Estate returns per.
cent 8,800.00
On Gross Sales 2,000 00
Special taxes 0.000.00
Incidentals 850.00
17,050.00
DISBURSEMENTS.
•Salaries 4,010.00
•Streets A Drains 2,500.00
Lights 1.500.00
Interest on Bonds A schools 8,820.00
Charity 800.00
Incidentals 800.00
Debt Due Bank 4,500.00
Total appropriations for 180117,480.00
If you should decide to adopt this
course, 1 hope each department
will keep within its bounds, and,
while the strictest economy should
be observed in all departments, yet
there are some thut 1 would call
your attention toin particular, that
should be more amply provided
for.
CKMKTBRY.
The city of our dead! There rests
our beloved ones. Its beauty each
year should he carefully guarded,
alul such provisions made as will
beautify its walks and avenues.
There the ladies go to look after
their love I ones, and keep green
their graves. Old trees crumbling
from age, liable to fall at any time
and do much damage, they should
be done away with, and young trees
set out in their places. I would re
commend that a dividing fence he
placed between the white anil color
ed and that closets be built in each:
that a survey he made and a map |
of the same he placed with the city
clerk. Mr. Tobe Caraker lifts been
faithful in the discharge of his
duties during the past year, but the
task of keeping the cemetery in
good shape is too great for one
man, and 1 xvouhl recommend that
he he allowed one hand to assist
him. It is not necessary for me to
call your attention to the dilapida •
ted condition of our city hearse.
Some provision should be made.
I would recommend that the under
takers or Livery stables be allowed
t he privilege* of taking that part of
the labor from the city, provided
they would vastly improve upon
the present which could he easily
done.
STREETS AND DRAINS.
1 have •endeavored during the
present year to substitute Stevens’
piping for all wooden drains, it may
cost a little more, hut they are more
lasting and cheaper in the end. The
means at our command are not suf
ficient to keep tip our streets as
they should he. Our force is not
large enough to mppt the demand.
Under the supervision of our effi
cient street overseer, Mr. Andrew
Walls, good work has been done,
his hands have proved faithful in
the discharge of their duties. New
brick walks are badly needed in the
business portion of our city and
should be attended to at once; but
before laying them, the cellar doors
should be abolished or something
substituted in their place, as they
are uu eve-sore, dangerous to trav
elers, things of the past.
OUR KIRK DEPARTMENT.
The past year our city has been
blessed. No fires of any note oc
curring; only twice has the fire bell
sounded the dread alarm, and well
it lias been so, for 1 consider, no
matter how willing and prompt
our department may respond yet
they are without the necessary
means to do good work. Our En
gine is old and almost useless, even
if water should he sufficient. Our
Chief, Mr. G. T. Whilden, has ever
held himself ready to do his duty.
It is my pleasure to assure you that'
ere another twelve months have
passed, our city will he fortified
with plenty of water, which will
prove a protection to our homes
and our property, and insure for
our people for drinking purposes
the greatest blessing we can ask,
which is health and happiness. The
invigorating air combined with the
zephyr breezes, that daily waft over
our hills and through our valleys,
combined with pure water, should
certainly make us feel that we are
favored with God's choicest bless
ings; and same will have a tendency
to increase our population and
wealth. o
THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
You were certainly wise in mak
ing your selections. There is not a
more important interest than that
of the public health. Dr. Harris,
the chairman, with his faithful as
sistants, has done much good. Mr.
Andrew Walls, who acted as health
officer, carried out faithfully all or
ders given him. Our citizens owe
them manv thanks for the cleanly
and healthy condition of our city
daring the past year. We have
tXvo sewers that need some atten
tion; one lies on Greene street be
tween Liberty and Wilkinson and
the other on square between Wayne
and Wilkinson streets.
CHARITY.
I think some provision should be
made to take care of the sick and
poor. It is a duty resting upon us
to do so. I have had occasion sev-
ural times during the past year to
realize the necessity of a Hospital on
a small plan,and i would like if you
could devise sonic means by which
the helpless could he provided for.
CITY OFFICERS.
1 am pleased to state that the
city officers, during the past year,
have been prompt, faithful and al
ways alert to the discharge of their
duties. Our police have been dili
gent in keeping order and preserv
ing the peace. In no instance have
they shirked their duties From the
ranks of our force there lias passed
away a good man, a good citizen
and a faithful officer. To r. W. J.
Owens we owe much gratitude.
Faithfully he guarded their homes
and protected their property for fif
teen long years, in heat and in cold.
Like the sentinel of old,he was ever
found at the post of duty.
Respectfully submitted,
P. J. * LINE, Mayor.
