MAYORS ADDRESS.

MAYORS ADDRESS.
Gentlemen OF the City Council:
On assuming the Office of Mayor, it
becomes my duty to call your atten-
tion to such municipal affairs as re-
quire your consideration and TO make
such recommendation in regard there
to as, in my judgment, are for the
best interest OF the city, and in per-
formance of that duty, / respectfully
request your consideration OF the fos-
lowing facts and recommendation ~-
During the past few years the city
has grown very rapidly both in popu.
lation and in wealth, and its future as
city Of considerable Importance is
assured. The citys needs have in
creased with its growth, and methods
and measures which In former years
we're sufficient have become ante
quated and inadequate. The time for
makeshifts and temporary expedients
has gone by. and whatever is under
taken should be undertaken with the
idea and intent of putting the affairs
Of the city upon a firm and enduring
basis.
CITY FINANCES.
First, and foremost OF the matters
to which / desire TO call your atten-
tion, is the necessity for a thorough
reform tion OF the finances of the
city and in the system Of keeping and
auditing its accounts. Heretofore the
accounts due the city have been kept
by the city engineer, but, owing TO
the pressure of other duties connected
with his position, he has been unable
TO keep up the accounts as they ought
to be kept Bills due the city for sup
plies, water and electric lights, during
the greater part Of the year, have
been running for months unpaid q,
simply because, in most cases, they
were not presented for payment, and
patrons were not able to ascertain the
amount due; while in the meantime
the city has been without funds with
which to pay Its debts, and has been
forced to meet its obligations by the
issuance OF interest bearing warrants.
This state OF affairs ought no longer
to exist, and IL becomes your duty TO
devise and apply remedy.
would recommend the adoption of
such system OF keeping the accounts
as will the most readily disclose the
exact status Of the financial affairs OF
the city and Of each branch of the
public service. The engineering de-
partment should be relieved OF all
bookkeeping, and the accounts should
be kept by the city clerk or by COM
petent accountant employed for that
purpose.
l would also recommend that the
city engineer be required to furnish
each month to the city clerk or ac-
countant all meter readings up to
about the 25th of such month, and
that the city clerk or accountant be
required to furnish to the city treas
urer, on the first day of each month,
correct, itemized bills of account
against all persons indebted TO the
city; and to make out duplicate list
of all such accounts, charging the city
treasurer with the full amount there
Of, which lists should show the names
Of the debtors, the total amounts due
from each debtor, and the amount

MCLEAN couNTv's CAPITAL.

Washburn One Of the Thriftiest Towns
in the State-Wonderful Increase In
Population.
For the past year Washburn has
been enjoying a genuine building
boom, the town having more that ire
bled in size during that time. Since
the beginning of the year more than
a half dozen buildings have been be-
gun and finished, and a dozen more
are now in course of construction,
many of them residences that will ia
vorably compare in design and finish
with any in the larger. cities of the
state, being of the latest style of archi-
lecture, and equipped with all modern
improvements. And the reason for all
this is not far to seek. for Mclean
county is one of the best agricultural
counties of the state, and is being rap
idly settled with a thrifty class OF
farmers. The fact that the personal
property assessment rolls show an in
crease of $50 per cent in numbers OF
taxpayers will to some extent reveal
the rapidity with which that county is
settling.

correspondence: Professor H. l.. Boil

college is regarded by the department
of agriculture a one of the leading au-
thorities in this country on the gen.
eral subject of fax, which explains
why he has been selected by the de-

II is known to the department OF
agriculture through Professor Bolley's
researches, that flax diseases similar
to those prevailing in this country,
abound in Europe, and yet that the
fax crops there are heavy and unfail-
ing. 1t is also known that Europe has
several varieties of immune flax. We
have immune fax in this country also.
1t will be Professor Bolley's special
mission to inquire into flax diseases
abroad and to secure samples of the
best immune fax in the countries he
will visit. These will be brought to
the United States, in the hope that by
crossing them with home varieties, OF
