MESSAGE OF THE MAYOR
Was read. 1t opens with state
ment Of the financial condition of
the city. The bonded indebted
ness amounts to $293. 900, Sis 700
of which has been issued during
the past four years for irrigation
improvements. During the past
year the funded debt has been re-
duced $4,000. The Mayor then dis.
ousses other matters relating to the
condition of the city, congratulstes
the citizens on our freedom from
diseases of all kinds; condemns the
miserable condition of our streets
and mmends improvements;
recommends the adoption of a H.
cense system by which the num-
Der Of drinking houses may be de-
creased and suggests as means to
this end the increasing Of the Ii
cense tax to $25 per month. The
message abounds in good sugges-
tions on many subjects, which the
crowded state OF our columns will
not permit US to touch upon.
