TO all the printing necessary for the city
council.
On public grounds have appointed w
r.. Haymaker, Geo. l.. Mulkey and J. /
Brownson II will become your duty,
gentlemen, 20 select place suitable for a
! city hall and for hremen's halls and Tor
the hugh school building.
AS the committee on public schools /
have appointed i. J. Tatum, Geo II.
Mulkey andJ, l.. Cooper, AS have al
ready said, we can not lay too much
strees upon the value OF education. Ed
ucate your citizens and make them better
citizens Educate them al home. DO
everything you can to build up your
free schools There Is nothing that will
so help to build mp a city as good ample /
facilities FOR the education OF It's children.
/ On the board Of heslth have appoint \
ed Dr. J. l.. Cooper, g. b. Daggett and |
q. w. Hill; also the same committee on I
hospital and paupers, these two commit /
tees having duties of the same nature !
Gentlemen, this is q very important COM
miltee. II is your duty 10 see TO the sam
itafy regulations OF the city, Put the city |
IN such condition that should the cholera |
or other epidemic come here, we may not
fear. The cholera may perhaps reach
American shores this summer. | would
recommend TO You to Immediately devise
means by which we can have the
city placed in good sanitary condition,
and | would ask the good people OF the
city 20 assist the board OF health In this
! matter. In time Of peace, you should
J prepare for war. 1t won't hurt us TO clean
up and have everything put in good shape,
} and il the cholera or other epidemic
! should come we would Dc In better condi-
ton to light II
On the sewer committee ! have APP
pointed w. X Haymaker, G w. Hill aud
j Brownson. The board Of health depends
4 in great measure upon this committee.
IL Is your duty, gentlemen, to see that the
E sewers are kept in proper order and that
they are extended 10 all parts OF the city
5 as soon as practicable, as recommended
V by Mayor Smith ON his retirement.
/ As the board Of health depends in so
: great a measure upon the sewer commit
$ tee, so, gentlemen, each committee de-
a ponds very large upon all the others for
H support, and 1t therefore becomes your
d duty, as believe It will be your pleasure
Il to do everything in your power TO main
tain harmony, for III union there Is
Il strength. United, giant opposition
d may be united TO break your strength
:. without avail.
II Gentlemen, there Is another thing that
Z 1 WISH W Nllthh VI III WIS NpnlNNAlNus ~
i is that we should have a liberal city gov
70 eminent We should be liberal in the
granting of franchises for the benefit OF
the people. We have now II proposition
1 to grant certain franchises to the gas
n. company, which | most heartily indorse.
( IL will be the means OF extending gas to
m all parts Of the city, and will lead TO the
=. expenditure OF $40, GOO or 100000 here
is by that corporation, which VIII be of
ne great benefit and no dGtriment. hope
to That some suitable ordinance will bC
ms drawn up that viii induce this new com
pany 60 spend their money among us
U We should grant franchises and do all we
), eau TO induce corporations which viii no
"a be burden upon the people TO come here
= and spend their money.
~ Another recommendation ! desire
-, to make IS that we should have
~ an auditor TO audit the book
NE OF your officers, TO look after the moneyeC
~ Interests of your city, 20 guard well th'
" treasury. No oilicer should be permitted
H. 10 20 longer than one month withou
ny making his report to the auditor
| would recommend 70 the water con-
:, mittee aud TO the street and alley con
p, mittee, as we'll as The council generally
II, that we should erect agaiu our pubh
VI watering places.
i
~ that we meet the county commissioner
W and endeayor TO induce them 10 grad
eI aud gravel the east and we'
g, sides of the public square, an
llu also 10 unite with us In builC
{ q ing a pest-house at some suitable plaC
~ ms well as city and county hospta
re- Especially would recommend that "
ul- work in harmony with the county con
tel missioners in inducing them to bull
'ln good roads from all parts OF the county
a.. az Fort Worth, TO grade and gravel Ties
ulu roads. We, as city, pay about hall
as the taxes Of the county, and we shoul
a therefore have some voice in this matte
IA, and deere say II we were to 80 to wol
'au with the county commissioners we coul
orc induce them to build these roads. III
eve country people all want good roads
wv travel on when they come TO town. W
you should use every effort possible to pc
us suade the county commissioners to bui
ose good roads and bridges, and work In ha
IN ,l mony with them.
ing In conclusion, permit me 10 EXPIRE
the sincere hope that my board of aide
ap- men viii work in harmony with ca
d. other, and that we viii together have q
pc support of all good citizens. Remembe
eNt fellow citizens, that we are your servant
and II at any time we should do wron
an you should not censure us too strongl
irst but counsel with us. We are but falllt
4 creatures. Give US your aid and ASST
ire ance. Remember that we constitute I
Old board OF aldermen that you have select
as to build up aad push forward the 4
we proyements ON this city. | trust, thel
lew fore, that we will have the hearty suppC
not of all the people, and when our term
an Office shall expire, we Will have, as G
use Smith has stated 10000 or 10000 peol
that within our corporate borders.
