Gentlemen of the City Council:--
On assuming the duties of Mayor for

OF thanking the people of Rock ISL
and for the honor conferred. / will
endeavor in the future, as | have in
the past, 20 perform those duties
faithfully, honestly and to the best of
my ability, guarding the cityS rights

future policy so far as public i'm

questions will be treated later in n
separate communication when we find
out what our financial resources are.
But all work now under contract will
be carried forward just the same as il
no change in the administration had

people can have the benefit of pure

In looking over the reservoir a few
days ago | saw that some repairs are
necessary in the finished portions but
l think and hope these are slight and
unimportant and may he reme,lied
with but small expense. In looking
over the city generally | find that
some repairs or the paving are also
necessary Some provisions should be
made to make these repairs as soon
is possible. We have had, as you are
all well aware. some heavy rain
storms lately, carrying down from the
hills tons of yellow clay and filling
the catch basins. These should be at

While do not believe a revision OF
the water rates is necessary at this

is getting fair compensation for the

years ago to correct mistakes and

Parks.
We have within the last two years
increased the real estate holdings of
the city some S62, OOO by the establish
ment of two parks. One is known as
Reservoir Park consisting of 261a acres
situate on the bluff between Twenty
second and Twenty-fourth streets
and Seventeenth and Eighteenth ave
nues. In this park is located the sys-
tom of reservoirs, which covers some
sIH acres. This land was purchased
or contracted for from the Robinson,
Weyerhaeuser. Deere & Roscntield
syndicate for which the city has
agreed to pay the sum of $4,000 at
the rate of $1,000 per year This park
contains more land than is at present
required for reservoir purposes. Ow-
ing in part to the cheapneSs of the
land, and ut the ins;igItion of the
City Council and many prominent cit
liens we concluded to purchase the
tract. The excess land admits of the
enlargement or the duplication of the
water improvement plant. as well as
TO secure to the city the control oil
lands surrounding the reservoirs. The
land extends north to the brow of the
bluff and commands Il magnificent
view of our city as well as Davenport
and the river. 1t is susceptible OF
great development and can be trans
formed into a beautiful park. The
city holds Il contract for Il deed from
Mr. j. L. Weyerhaeuser, in whom the
title is vested, and the deed is in
escrow in the hands of Col. Henry Cur
tbs of this city.
The other park is known as Long
view Park and is situated partly on
the bluff between Twelfth and Eigh
teenth avenues and Seventeenth
street and Fifteenth street extended,
about 40 acres. This land
was donated TO the city for park pur-
poses. For this magnificent gift we
are indebted to the late Capt. T. j.
I-s Rosenfield, Hon. c. ii. Deere and |
Mr.. Frederick Weyerhaeuser. The
memory of these generous donors |
should always be held in grateful re-
by an appreciative public. |
Noble acts like this is what causes |
he memories of men to be revered, |
ong after they have dissolved these |
,arthly ties. This BEAUTIFUL tract of |
and with it's many hills and dales is
llso susceptible of great development.
Its great sweeping view to the west
over the Fathers of Waters and across
he hills of Iowa renders it's name very |
appropriate.

DUE TO A POPULAR SONG.

When I first heard Meath the Trees
Where the Hammock Swung" I thought
if was a very nice song, and I tried to hum
It on the way home. 1 couldn't get any
thing that sounded right, but part of the
chorus, but I Went over and over that
with a great deal of satisfaction. The
next 5ay the boy who shined my snoes
whistled it as he worked. There were two
notes wrong, ard I gently corrected him,
humming it over once or twice. 1t an
noys me to have a beautiful thing IKE
that spoiled.
At the office Jones burst in with:
Say, boys, have you heard the latest?
meath the Trees Where the Hammock
Swung It's a corker. 1t goes like this:
- Rum te tum tumpty tum i tum.
Rum te tum the sha-ade among,
Rumpty tum tumpy tuum l tum
Meath the trees where the hammock
swung.
I haven't got it quite right, but it's a
peach!"
Well, it was. Jones is a miserable sing
er, but he couldn't quite hide the beauty
of that chorus.
There is a young lady in the fiat above
us who has a piano, and that might she
practiced on /" Meath THE Trees Where
the Hammock Swung till II o'clock, and
then didn't get it right. But she was at 1t
again while we were eating breakfast
next morning.
Inside of a week I heard that song at
every hour of the day and night until 1t
began to pail on me somewhat. By the
end of another week it was in the phpno-
graphs, in the concert halls. in the thea
ters, in the street pianos. There was no
escaping from it. Thin-chested young
men and fat young ladies sang it at other
wise orderly parlor gatherings, boys and
men whistled it over and over in varying
pitches and discords. and hand organs
ground it o ut with endless quavers, while
my poor jangling nerves kept time.
Last night l met a man in the lonely
street who stopped n asked me for a
match. l lit it for him.. and something in
his face prompted me to ask with a sud
den irresistible curiosity who he was.
Sir" aid he, drawing himself u p and
smiling complacently, 81 am the author
of Meath the Trees Where the HAM
mock swung
Then I killed him. This, gentlemen, is
my Observation-Disclosures Enquirer.
