Taylor war* (worn la by H, F, dußigooa, clerk of 9npsrinr
oourt.
Mayor Smaaual addressed council as follows;
Qenllamen, Board of Aldermen:
ll gives me great pleasure to tee before me today four of
the gentlemen who Bare given to generously of ibeir time,
and Who by their ability and deration to dniy bar* done to
much toward tbe upbuilding of onr city In tbeyear 1901
To you who hare just begun your duties I extend a hearty
wekoaae, and the hope that when tbe present year te ended
we oaa see even a greater improvement.
Whaa this mayor aad oonneil were sworn in tod took
eharga of the city, wbat (Id we find. A net and sting lnde t
edneee of >86,900. A ruintd credit. Not one riogle doi ar
ceald wa borrow without iccnrlty, which we did nut bate to
give. About $46,000 of trust bond* In Baltimore 'o arcure
a lean of abent 60.000. Haadreds of bil's being presented
for payment and not a dollar in tbe t resent y.
It ws* a terrible eosditlon to oontron'inbot tbs rntynr
aad alderman want bravely to work and is mat
lai’eed of owing $66,010 we only owe 38,140 04, smET ; ? u
the treasury, $9,507 39 or a cat rednotion of >31,302?51<| ,
red notion wonld bare been >2 000 greater but for tne
litigation in the Harvey case, for whloh we were in no way
responsible, hot was due to carelessness of former adminis
tration*, Instead ofa ruined credit wears bitrowing the
most of tbe money that wa need et 5 per gsbc and * Oti e at
9 per sent without any security whatever, and tbe >45,000 oi
truel bond* art safely looked np in tbe city’* vaults and we
have enough money In tee trenemy ti pay sll outstanding
hill*. Yon will bear in mind tbat this was sli done trader
the taate lex rate (1 40) a* wa levied by 'he last sound,
and a decree** of ebont 1000 000 in the sste<mnrt; so that
tax payer* actaslly paid a lower tax ra'e thn before.
A the Finance otmmittnn ba> male a full repirt I will
only teueb on a few of tbe Items.
In 1900 tbe eoet prr month of Ue pc line force wa*
$994.96, to 1 901 it was >797 81.
la erder to show the efloieney of tbe police force, wbi< b
wa* the iame la onmbir (tlx) as in 1900, tr fines for 1000
eoileoted sn4 turoel ia ware |},’BQ43 aad in 1901 were
>4.816,55,
Tne Jail In 1900 under tbe fee system, exclusive of re
paira, on Ja I, bedding and ec , c-st tbe city 93,378 15, and
in 1901 under oar syetem it cost Just 91 084 09 ttclor tag all
repair*, etc,, and this in face of ib* feet teat more tbau twice
a* many prisoner* were In ihs jail in 1901 then In 1900
Avery large difference in our favor will be shown la
thedaoltery and Public Works department.
Whether or not w* have kept the oi.y up to It* usual
standard of eleeminee* aad tbe etreete and park* of the city
la theiraenai condition I will leare to a geueroai publt* to
decide.
( will state however tbat aooord ng to tbe City E-'gl
neet'e report about 191 tower connections were mtfip in 1901
or more than have bean made la the past three year* com
bined. Thee* eonneotioce wiped ont a similar nnmber of
enrfaoe eloaele, whloh are oootidared a great menace to
health, and are certainly a great expense to the city.
1 bellrve that the iaprored condition* brought by this
eonooil he* established a return of confidence in every di
rection, especially lathe value of real estate, for it lea wall
ksowa fast that many transfers have been made at advanced
figure* aad many of onr citizens have built and are still
oalldteff handsome home*.
Wiikeat mentioning ny individual or department in
particular, l commend to the ne* council the entire wo king
force of the city, who, by their good behaviour and attention
to their besluet* have helped to bringahont onr pretent good
condition anil who have deservedly woo the good wuk of

For the future welfare of tbe city I recommend tbat ugf

Impossible to geard tbe olty with so small a fores, end itW
manifestly unjust to c tlssn* living in tbe residsaee portion
of the city that tbny should pay their taxes, end yat bsv*

In my veers nxp rice ts recorder of tbe CUy ecnrt, I have
heeem* ooovinoed that mote thsn ont half of tbe disorderly
oesdnet cnea ere onueed by thelow dives in which bnr rooms
nr* allowed ana ll take* tbs beet portion of tbe police force
te beep there places lo order.
I therefor* advise that tbe Hqner license be made nt least
9600 80. By doing thin yon will confine the busmtst to
reputable dealer* and eompel three people to oontrlbot*
eufflolent revenue to the olty to employ an effective polio*
