MIR. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN OF THE
CITY COUNCIL: In compliance with the re-
quirements of the law Iappear before your
honorable body at this time for the pur-
pose of reviewing the past and making
few suggestions in regard to the future.
The year just passed has been a remarka-
BILE one for the city of Minneapolis. 1
came here thirty-One years ago this
spring, being then lad ten years old, and
the Minneapolis chrysalis, consisting OF
four white families, has developed into
& city containing 100000 souls
the metropolis of the northwest. Where
the deep grooved Indian trails were then
are low broad streets and avenues over
shadowed by stately mercantile blocks,
beautiful residences and comfortable
homes. The change has gone on as if by
magic power and those of Us who have
witnessed it can scarcely believe our
senses. A year ago when my fellow citi-
zens by their SURFACES called me a second
time to the official position 1 now occupy,
few misguided fanatical cranks predicted
the direst calamities to the city as a result
of that election. They proclaimed
that real estate would depreciate
at least 90 per cent; that the
bonds of the city could not be dis
posed of in the money markets of the
East; that capital would not seek invest
ment here during 'the reign Of the bum
mer element" that trade would be stag
mated, etc., ETC., etc. I cannot but contrast
these pre5itions with the facts as they pre-
sent themselves before US to-day. Real es-
tate has doubled its valuation all over the
city, and on the leading business thorough
fares the valuations are On par with those
at business centers in all the leading cities
of the country. Capital has flowed in up
on Us seeking and obtaining investments
in manufactures, workshops, blocks, resi-
dences and trades until the streets have be-
come veritable beehive Of industry, there
by giving US prosperous and happy peo-
pie. I refer with pride to a recent
sale of city bonds, bearing AZ per cent.in-
terest, at half q cent premium, as showing
that ''the reign of the hummer element"
has not as yet sent the city to the dogs.
In this connection allow NE to state that
there are, of necessity,many evils in rap
idly growing city like ours, which cannot
be made to down at anyone's bidding, no
matter how rigidly the thumb-screws of
the law may be turned upon them. We
have had few ficial'samples at the work
of determination, and all Of them resulted
in increasing the evils which it was thought
could be done away with. Il is an easy
matter to sit in parlor chair and run
