main now being put in would increase
the capacity of the plant 30 per cent.
Attention was called to the fact that the
rents had been equalized during the past
year, and that there had been consid-
cradle increase in revenues from that
source Information was given the coun-
ell that that department of the city gov
eminent had paid all its running ex-
penses, interest on the water works
bonds, the bonds which came due, and
the improvements on the plant. He ia
vored the creation of a sinking fund in
that department for emergencies, and
suggested that the strict observance of
sections 10 and II on page 81 of the
city ordinances would improve matters
very much. Under this head he thought
that a regular plumber should be en-
ployed by the city, who could also be an
assistant to the commissioner of water
works.
In discussing saloons, he thought they
should be given proper protection, since
they had paid for the privilege to do
business, but he asked that the wholesale
trade be restricted and that a wholesale
dealer be not allowed to sell under five
gallons. He requested the council not
to grant licenses to restaurants to be
conducted in saloons or in connection
with them He expressed himself as OPP
posed to the granting of a greater num-
Der OF saloon licenses than there was
last year. He declared that selling con-
trary to law, both by the saloons and
the drug stores, must stop.
Under the head of public wrongs, he
deplorcd and denounced the unjust criti.
cism that had been made of the city of
ficials through personal and political mo-
tives.
The police We're praised by him and in
this connection he stated that each week
the past year one or two undesirable
characters had been quietly made to
quit the city with the admonition that
they must never return. He thought the
moral conditions of the city improved
considerably last year and he expressed
the hope and belief that they will con-
tinuc to improve this year.
In conclusion he assured the council
that his best efforts would be given for
all the people of Clarksburg.
