Il urge strict economy in your administra-

| avoid the necessity of increasing the rate of
/ taxation.
"The appropriations for the ordinary ex-
penses of all the departments of the city gov
eminent are liberal, and no committee should
! be allowed to exceed the appropriation. With
| judicious management I can see no reason
] why anyone should be discouraged over the
| financial condition of the city; both real and

| fifty per cent.
"All the obligations of the city have been
| promptly met, her bonds rate high, and her
credit is as good as that of any city in the
| State"
RECOMMENDATIONS.
The Mayor, after noting the good condition
of the streets, suggests that map of the city
be procured, showing each lot, public street
and alley therein" as required by the State
Inv. He calls attention to the bad passenger
accommodations of the C. & O. Depot and
suggest. TO the council to take steps under

this grievance remedied. He suggests that
attention be paid to charging the source of
the water supply of the city.
FIRE DEPARTMENT..
He urges that the council either thoroughly
equip the present Volunteer Fire Department
with modern appliances, or stake immediate
steps to organize paid Fire Department" He
recommends in case of the former, that 5000
