ever work is done in that direction should be of
good substantial character and such parts and
portions of the system constructed, as our
people are willing to pay for, and when once
started, If the same conditions exist in this city
as in others, it will only be a short period OF
time before the system is extended over the en-
tire city. This is a matter that should be
studied by our citizens in general as we'll as by
the council. 1t is a matter in which our citi-
and suggestions would be appreciated by the
city administration. No action has been taken
toward the adoption Of the plans for sewerage
with the waterworks plans, such changes and
notifications should be made as may seem best
under the circumstances. OF course whatever
changes are made will have to be made in ac-
cordance with the scientific principles govern
ing those matters. With a sewerage system it
Is necessary to have a sufficient fall SO that a
flow to the outlet can be had from all parts of
the system, so it is plainly apparent that the
sewers must be constructed and discharged in
such directions as will give sufficient fall to
carry the sewerage to the place of disposal.
SALOONS
The regulation of the manufacture and sale of
Intoxicating liquors is one of the most difficult
problems with which a government has to con-
tend. 1t is quite generally agreed among think
ing and moral people that the Wellbelng and
happiness of our people would be promoted If
the manufacture of Intoxicating liquors could
be entirely prohibited. So long as it is manu-
featured it will be sold; and if it is to be sold
the next question is as to whether or not a
license system shall prevail authorizing such
sale under certain restrictions ana lln1tat1OnS,
or whether it should be sold by persons Ill
clandestine ways in violation of the law. With
ont entering into a discussion Of the merits or
dement's of each system it ia sufficient to say
that whenever the question has been voted
upon in recent years the majority OF our voters
have determined in favor of the license system
authorized under the laws of this state, and
license should be granted by the council until
voters DECIDE otherwise. The law requires the
saloons to close at eleven O'Clock in the evening,
and on Sundays and on election daya: to sell no
/ lIunOra TO minors or To DprG0nE in the hahlt OF
becoming intoxicated; to have no screens in
front of their windows; no chairs or tables
should be allowed; and other regulations and
restrictions of greater or less importance are
imposed by law. 1t is generally conceded that
the law is obeyed better in this than in any other
city in this part of the state, but the observance
and the enforcement of the law in other cities
Is not q matter of any great importance here.
1t is the duty OF the mayor and council as we'll as
that of every citizen to see to it that the law
is enforced and obeyed. We must uphold the
dignity of the law and take such a position that
no one will question our intentions as to the
enforcement of same, Citizens, too. instead of
standing on the street corners criticising the
city administration, should make complain. to
the proper authorities when they are aware that
the law is being violated. 1t is our further daty
to grant licenses to only those whom we believe
will obey the law.
CIGARRrTEs AND TOBACCO
The law prohibits the sale of cigarettes ard
tobacco to persons under the age of sixteen
years. Every effort within our power has been
made to enforce the law. Dealers have been
warned repeatedly in regard to it and requested
not to sell cigarettes and tobacco to boys. There
is nothing so injurious to the health and physical
development of the boys and young men of
today as the use of cigarettes, and we ought to
use every means within our power to make it
impossible for them to obtain same.
F,rnr,or .r
The greatest menace to our institutions is the
failure on the part of our citizens to uphold and
obey the election laws and the authorities
entrusted with the enforcement thereof. The
constitution of this state and the law 90 laid
down by our legislature guarantees to every
| elector the right to exercise the priyilepe OF
casting q secret ballot uninfuenced BY Others and
free from intimidation or fraud. It ie the duty
! of the city administration to see to it that the
laws are preserved 70 sill of our people. Men
| who stay about the polling places should not be
allowed to enter tho booths when others are
marking their ballots. Yoithnr should thew be
allowed to int.miIate oar citizens by asking or
