to your respective offices for another
term, thereby expressing their satisfac-
ton in the work accomplished last year.
1t should be an incentive to do the best
work that lies in us for the year to come.
There are few things which to my
mind require your immediate attention.
First Steps should be taken to put in
sewerage on some of the principal streets
of our city.
Second-We need also to consider, at
once, the best means by which to dispose
or the water of the Comstock Creek,
which on account of the shallow channel
cannot be properly carried away. The
people living along this stream certainly
need some protection to health and prop
erty and it should be our duty to secure it
for them.
Third Immediate steps should be
taken toward building bridge over the
Shiawassee river at West Oliver street,
as not only are citizens inconvenience
but farmers as well. 1t would seem to
me the better policy to remove either the
Main or Washington street bridge to
west Oliver and put wider and more
suitable bridge in its place.
There are other things that require
your careful attention but that need no
special mention by me at the present
time. These that l have mentioned,
gentlemen, L consider of importance and
l do hope you will consider them.
