MAYOR wADDELL'S ANNOUNCE
MENT.
After the disposition of the liquor
license matter Mayor Waddell called
the attention of the board to the fact
that at the beginning of the present
fiscal year SIS, 900 was appropriated for
street improvements and practically
nothing has been done. He said he had
made a mistake as chief executive of
the city in delegating these important
features of business too largely to the
various committees of the board OF al
dermen and he proposed in future II
take the work more largely into mis-
own hands. He announced that =
some very decided toward the
purchase of the new rock cruSher,
street roller and the procuring and
operation of rock quarries as provided
for by the city authorities is not inau-
gurated at once he will proceed to
make the purchases and push the street
improvements himself.
The mayor also said that he proposed
that something shall very soon be don
regarding the new sewerage system
and that he now has an offer of all
the money needed for the work just
as soon as the policy of the city author
tiles is definitely settled He also said
that he desired to give notice that af-
ter January LIST he will be an active
member of every committed of the
board of aldermen.
Alderman Taylor explained in regard
to the street work that the streets and
wharves committee has done all that
they could under the circumstances and
now have their plans and preparations
at a stage where very considerable
work can very soon be accomplished
He explained how. that for b reason
that appropriations were tied up by the
board of audit and finance the purchase
