Hon, City Commissioners,
Brunswick, Ga.
Gentlemen:
MONTHLY .REPORT FOR AUGUST
1 submit herewith the following
repoit, of the work of the city for the
month ol August, 1923.
hire Department
During the month of August the!
Fire Department responded to seven |
alarms. The value of the property i
endangered by fire during, the month j
was $8,600,00, and the loss $1,800.00. j
The work of putting the apparatus I
of the department in better shape was 1
carried on during the month, and we i
ceilain are now defects able, with the exception of j
in the construction of!
the apparatus—which we expect the
manufacturers to assist us in rem-!
edying—to say that the equipment in
service is in first class condition. !
The chief of the department and his
men are to be highly commended for
the splendid interest ; j
shown in bring
ing the equipment up to this eor.di-!
tion. j
Police Department j
During the month of August the ,
Police Department made 101 arrests,
and summoned forty persons to po
lice court for various violations of
the »aw. ;
There were 68 prisoners in the city
jail during the month, of whom 11
were white males, 50 colored males
and 7 colored females.
Thirty-nine days work were done,
by the prisoners in charge of the de- i
partrr.cnt, mostly upon the streets.
The month was distinguished with j
less trouble in preserving peace and :
good order by the Police Department i
than usual. This was probably due j
to the fact that the department has
been able to reduce to a considerable ;
xtent the amount of liquor brought j
ito the city, as most of the trouble :
^countered by the department can
usually be traced back to the arrival;
of a new supply of illegally trails-j
ported liquor. ;
Public Works Department I
During the month of August Glou
coster street from Lee street to the j
Boulevard was resurfaced with slag ;
and asphalt, and this construction:
will be followed by a surface treat- j
ment in the course of the next few j
months. In order to handle the tour- !
ist traffic, it is necessary to repair.
Glynn avenue north of L street. This
work will he carried on during the
month of September. ;
During the month attention was
given to improvement of handling ;
garbage and rubbage, and I believe
better service is being rendered at
the presc-nt time than during the
month of July. In this work, how- ;
ever, it is a matter of keeping
stantly on the lookout for the devel
opment of unsatisfactory conditions,
and any improvements that are made
must be carefully watched, in order
to see there is no backsliding.
This work is largely handicapped j I
by the fact that the city is short of s i
cash at this time of the year, and the j
work must necessarily progress slow- i
lv for lack of sufficient funds to car- !
ry on a larg" amount of it at any one !
,. t ;
Hospital |
During the month of August a to-1
tal of 52 patients were cared for in :
the city hospital, of whom 41 were |
white and 11 colored.
There were 137 nursing days for I
city charity patients, and five nursing !
davs for county charity’patients, a j
total of 142 days for charity patients j
as against 347 days for the pay pa
|
Conclusion I
The greatest obstacle to the sat-1
isfactory handling of the affairs of
the city is found in the fact that our ;
accounting system,'which is designed!
for and probably well adapted to the j
needs of large industrial concerns,
could be greatly improved upon for
, , i
needs, ii it . cnan^ed tiS to
our were so
provide 1 for a modern governmental
.
budget system.
Until this is done we arc ilKelJ at
timp io be confronted bv perplex
and * if
ing questions of finance, we j
put in a modern governmental sys- |
tom these perplexities can be greatly
. or-o-ofi because the problems that
now frequently confront us will be ;
foreseen and provided for long in ad- 1
vance, and only emergency matters
nave to be taken care of on the
w.n
spur of the moment.

“It seems to me very important
'that we should all be informed as to
the actual educational conditions and
needs in the state as a -whole and in
j the several counties,” “No educational said gupeivi
I tendent Ballard. pol¬
icies should be formulated, or recom¬
mendations made, without this infor¬
mation. In order that this informa¬
tion may be obtained as soon as pos¬
sible and at small expense, I have
asked the state supervisors to discon¬
tinue their institute work. I am plan¬
ning to have surveys made of a num¬
ber of counties in the different sec-
1 tions of the state, beginning Octo¬
ber 1.
“In order to secure the coopera¬
tion of the superintendents and board
members and to give them all infor¬
mation they may desire concerning
. the nc-w work now undertaken by the
. department of education, we are hohi
i ing these conferences,” h<- asserted.
