To the Council:
The final reports Of the several COM
mittees for the year 1903 of file show
the present condition of the city and
what has been done by its government
toward its benefit within that period.
They show that among other things
much has been done in the reduction
of the public debt, the advancement
of public education and the improve
ment Of the public highways.
l trust that the present year will
show still greater progress and i'm
provement, not only in few out in all
matters material to the city and it's
people. Substantial improvements
cost more to create than to maintain
and it is cheaper and easier to keep
them in repair than to lose them by
neglect. Let us therefore take no step
backward of fail to take any possible
one forward. The continued improve
ment Of all the streets as especially
of Newcastle, Union and Bay and of
D. street from Magnolia park is great
ly to be desired. The extention OF
all possible aid to the public schools,
the prompt payment of th5 city's prom
ises to pay and the preservation of the
publis health are trusts of the high
est importance and l ervolze for them
your careful and liberal action.
