Reviews What Has Been Done During
Year--RecommendatIo
Gentlemen and Members of the City
Council.
In compliance with the laws of Illi-
nOis, which require the mayors of all
cit es within the state to annually make
d report to their respective city councils,
giving them information relative to the
financial and business affairs of the city,
and to recommend for their consideration
such measures as may be deemed, by
him, eXpedient and beneficial to the coun-
cl and the public in general, 1 submit my
annual report, calling your attention to
some of the important matters which will
require your attention. For the details
of our business and finances l will refer
You to the respective reports of our eff
ficient and Obliging City Clerk and City
Treasurer, which set out fully and com
pletely the statement OF the City's fl
nances during the past year; showing
you from what source the city derives
Its revenues and in what manner and to
whom the money is paid out.
Upon assuming our official duties, one
year ago, we found the city in a very
bad financial condition. \ great many
over drafts or due-biIls representing
money expended over and above the an
nual appropriation of the prvious year,
were outstanding ana the OWneTs were
seeking payment As you doubtless
know, this method of obtaining money
TO spend for any purpose whatever, is
unlawful, except perhaps. in cases of EN-
ergencies. and l think we should avoid
the giving of due-bills in the future
THE matter of appropriations and the
expenditure thereof, are matters of vi
tai Importance to the city at the present
time, Our power TO borrow money has
reached the limit prescribed by law, and
it will be great credit TO you, as coun-
ciImen, IL you will carefully scrutinize
the various expenditures of the city
and not allow the several appropriations
to be over-drawn The embarrassing con-
Ilition of our finances crippled our var
ious improvements last year, for you
all know it takes money to do work and
conduct improvements and carry on the
business of municipality the size and
progressiveness of ours.
To overcome the perplexing condition
in which we found the city year ago.
it was necessary for US to curtail the ex-
penses in every department. and | am
pleased to say we have had the hearty
cooperation OF the members of the coun-I
Gil and the city appointees, for which
am very grateful, and 1 hope and trust

Fire Department.

,rbe Rock Island Fire Department is
the best, or at least as good, as any de-

state and il needs but few words of
commendation from me. The people OF

They always respond promptly to alarms
and do very efficient work. Everything
in connection with this department is in
number one order and condition, with
the exception of the wagons, which are
now being repaired and painted. Great
credit should he given Chief Hastings
for the manner in which he conducts this
department, and for further details /
