nection viii be, which is the most feast
bic outlet for such a SYSTEM In my
| opinion the BiIbo canal is the most avail
able and economical outlet. I, therefore,
/ recommend the early examination into
and fun consideration Of this important
matter.
It ask the health and cemetery com
I mittee to investigate and report upon
the latest and most improved apparatus
for fumigation of such articles as public
health demands should be either cleansed
/ or destroyed to prevent the spread OF
disease. I recomTned the purchase OF
such an apparatus as will save much pc
cuniary loss TO our people.
The police department is in need Of re-
form and I request the committee on
police to thoroughly investigate the same
and make such recommendations, at its
earliest convenience, as may be deemed
necessary to put the same in frst-class
condition.
The provision for the paving of streets
IS limited in our budget this year, but
there are a number Of streets which can
and should be improved by being shelled.
!, therefore, hope that, through strict
economy, there may be a surplus in the
allowance to the street and lane depart
ment, which can be applied to street paw
ing.
1t is important that streets be extended
and opened up in the recently acquired
portions of the city, and tie committee
on this subject is recomme uded to give
its immediate attention 10 this matter.
It is hoped that owners of land neces-
sary to be used for such purposes will
meet the committee in the proper spirit,
recognizing the benefits to result from
such extensions and openings
This is a commercial city. 1t should
also be a manufacturing city. The city
government should assist to this end. 1t

of civic pride for us to foster and encOur-
age existing manufactures and to in
duce Others to locate here. once made a
manufacturing city Savannah would be
permanently prosperous. viii have sew
eral suggestions to make on this sub
ject which l cannot take space to en-
large upon herein.
There are various amendments OF the
city charter necessary to be made, in
my judgment, and it may be proper to
formulate a new charter more consistent
than the present one with the needs of
Savannah as a large city. The manage
ment and control of the olice, water, and
public works department. should, in my
opinion, be vested in Sc oarate commits
sions. The detailed duties imposed upon
members of the city council are too on
erods, and their attention could be bet
ter devoted to matters Of la rger and more
general Importance. / viii invite your
consideration to these matters later on.
I'm conclusion I am grateful that so
able a board has been selected to work
with me in the control and government of
this city. I hope and believe that we will
labor tremendously and earnestly. each
doing his share, and the best results will
be obtained. 1 shall, as the ex ecuuve, in
force every law on the statute books
without fear, favor, or affection, and I
know this board will sustain me-"
