business men and their only desire has
been to have a good and efficient lot
of men appointed to the force.
Library.
The public library has continued to
increase in usefulness and is keeping
even pace with the material develop
ment OF the city. 1t is rapidly growing
in size and Importance.
The high class of books that are
read in our city is attracting a great
deal of attention from literary men in
the East. and Mr.. Davies Is receiving
letters complimenting him and express
ing surprise that city the size OF ours
should have such an elegant library.
Sanitary.
Under the direction of the board of
health, ordinances have been passed
width provide rules and regulations
looking to the government of the SAM
tary conditions of the city. These or
dinances have been carried out 10 the
letter OF the law. and the city has
never been in a better condition than
at the present time.
Much credit is due to Health officer
Gum and Sanitary Policeman Kemp
for the manner in which they have per-
formed their duties during my term,
they have made a study of the sani-
tary statistics of different cities and
have done excellent work. For a more
detailed account / would refer you to
the report of DIR. Gum, published a
few days ago.
And now. gentlemen, / fear / have
taken up too much OF your time in
reading this report, but before closing
wish to say a few words compliment
tary to the retiring officers. The pres
ant ~ V CnftaF made
a record that is a credit to any officer;
he has never lost a case during my
term, either in the United States or dis
| trict courts: he has always shown n
disposition to assist the council and
myself in any manner he POSSIBLY
could.
The police magistrate, Judge Naugh-
ten. has made an excellent officer. and
while he has incurred the enmity of
the hoboes and others of that class,
he has shown the better class of citi-
zens that his only desire has been to
administer the law fairly and impair
TALLY, yet firmly in all directions. The
officials in the clerks Office and the
Office of city treasurer. have always
been very prompt in furnishing me any
| reports required.
This concludes my report. gentlemen.
| and / say good bye TO all of you and
e. o. DUGAN. Mayor.
ad Afternoon council-Butte
The mayors report was received and
ordered filed.
The mayor stated that on account of
| the sudden death of City Treasurer
4 Jacobs there was no report from his
| office, and the clerk announced that
there was no more business on the ta-
| BILE.
| Major Dawson extended his thanks
1 to the mayor and aldermen for cour-
/ years service In the council. He urged
! the holdover aldermen to seriously con-
/ slider the question of paving and rec
/ commended that at least one block in
the heart of the city be paved this
year. After this was done he said the
petitions for paving would come in

Treasurer Jacobs Report.
City Treasurer Jacobs presented his
annual report to Mayor-elect Thomp-
son on Saturday night, but failed TO
sign Ii, and for this reason IL was not
presented to the council this afternoon.
According TO this report, Mr.. Jacobs
had a balance OF $50. 45775 on hand May
1. This is ss2.16 more than the city
clerks report shows him TO have had
on that day, but this difference is ac-
counted for by the fact that the treas
urer received some money after he had
given his figures to the city clerk OF
which he afterwards failed to notify
that official.
