absolutely impartial manner, endeaVor

cause all property subject to taxation
IN he returned at its honest value. Every
progressive city has had in active opera
lion a similar board, and the work &C
conplished has been eminently satlsfact-
orv Heretofore, no systematic method
has been employed for the purpose OF
collecting revenue on personal property,
and | have every reason to believe that
the work of this board will be the means
Of enabling the city to reduce its TAX
rate at an early period. Every citizen
recognizes that the burden of taxation
should be equitably distributed In this
connection I would recommend a new as
sessment of real estate, which recon-
Yoandafion. 1 have no doubt, will be fa-
1-orahIv considered by the board of tax
sssessors and receivers during the pres
emf wear. The prosperity of our people
depends largely upon just and equitable
assessments"
In speaking of the condition of the ere
mallory the mayor says that it would be
we'll to consider the adVisability of remoV-
ing the plant further from the city before
anv extensive improvements are made.

great saving to the municipality and its
citizens has resulted"
The mayor urges the appointment of a
board of united charities in order that
the money expended for this purpose by
the city and county and by various organ
izations may be directed into proper chan
nels and the present lack of system In
this work, which is developing a large
class of professional mendicants super
seeded by organized work He would hear
tily recommend an appropriation by the
city to such a board, he says. IF this
does not appear Immediately practicable"
he says, then L would suggest that
special committee Of council be appointed
to take this matter in charge and that a
regular appropriation for charity be made.
1t is to be regretted that the county hav-
ing a large poor farm available for the
purpose, has made no provision whereby
it can be made of service in the work of
caring for the unfortunate. Some of those
now DEPENDENT on public charity for
subsistence would probably gladly avail
themselves of an opportunity to at least
partially support themselves by their own
labor. Steps should unquestionably be
an apparently increasing INDECENT class.
Every community, in justice to itself,
should see to it that the poor and unfor-
tunate are properly and humanely cared
for"
The mayor concludes his report in the
following language: I desire to return
thanks to the members of the aldermanic
board for the earnestness with which they
have discharged their duties, and for the
valuable and intelligent assistance rem
dered me by them. | also congratulate
them upon the harmony existing, and feel
satisfied that their labors are appreciated
by the public"
The following. resolution, offered by AL
derman Garrard, was adopted unanimous
ly by the council:
Resolved, by the mayor and aldermen
of the city of Savannah, in council as
nbled:
First That the report of his honor the
mayor, read tonight, be referred to the

Second. That authority be given to his
honor, the mayor, to have 1000 copies of
