MAYORS ADDRESS

MAGOR > ADDhESS
Sauk Centre, Minn., April IL, 1905.
To the Honorable, the Common
Council of the city of Sauk Centre,
Gentlemen-For the second time it
becomes my privilege to present the
Mayor elects annual message to your
honorable body. First, | wish to
express my appreciation of the honor
conferred upon me at the hands of the
people, and to pledge myself to work
with you for the welfare and best
interests of our city. l wish to thank
the retiring council for the thoughtful
consideration accorded to all subjects
presented to them, and for the hearty
cooperation they have shown in all
work undertaken.
During the past year no serious
troubles have arisen and very few
complaints have been entered. While
for many reasons it had seemed best
that the past year should have been a
passive, rather than an aggressive
year, vet we have not been idle, and
work that had been already commenced
has been faithfully pushed toward
completion, and some new work taken
up.
The work of laying cement walks
and crossings has steadily gone on.
The Great Northern underground
crossing on Main street has been put
in, long looked for improvement,
The Sauk Centre herald., 1905-04-13

the approaches to which will be COM
pleted this spring. And the Great
Northern Railway Co. assure us that
an iron bridge shall be placed over
this crossing before winter.
Our sewers are completed and are
giving entire satisfaction. The health,
happiness, and prosperity of a people
depend greatly upon cleanliness and
sanitary conditions. Now that we
have very complete sewer and water
systems, call your attention to the
Urgent necessity of property owners
making sewer connections and advise
you to take such action as will bring
our sewer system in useful connection
with all occupied property over the
several sewer districts.
The need of stand pipe or tower
water tank for reserve fire protection
and economy in pumping expenses,
become more apparent each year and
is now being favorably talked of by
many of our business men. l would
recommend that you give attention to
this needed improvement and lay
plans that will lead to it's accomplish
ment in the near future.
A word of comendation is due the
members of our volunteer fire depart
ment for the exceptional. work they
have done in protecting property.
They may we'll be proud of their
record; in all the years since their
organization they have never allowed
fire to spread beyond the building
in which it originated. With the new
water mains laid the past season, new
hose, new chemical engine, and the
new stand pipe we hope to have soon,
we feel confident their services in the
future will not be found wanting.
There is call from the surrounding
country for monthly market where
everybody interested can meet to buy
and sell stock and farm produce. 1t
seems as if this might be held on the
Fair grounds here with good results
to the city as we'll as to the surround
ing country, and l would suggest that
you take this matter up with the
officers of the Fair Association and see
what can be done.
Once more would bring before you
the idea of combining the Offices of
street commissioner, sewer commits
sioner, Supt. of water works and fire
warden. | believe such an arrange
ment would not only save expense but
procure for us better service than we
now have.
One of orr reasons for not taking
up any extended work this past year
was the need of replenishing our
treasury, and I wish now to call to
your attention the Clerks annual
report. We find our floating out
standing Indebtedness is less than
So, 100000 after deducting the amounts
due for sewer Improvements, and the
cash at present IN the treasury is
$4 1862 belonging to the different
public funds. This shows that our
city is in excellent condition fnan-
cially.
In conclusion | would bid you
remember that the affairs of a |

The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1905-09-25

If Bemidji wants amy further
argument as to the advisability
of adopting a home rule charter,
it can find it in the experience of
other northern Minnesota cities.
The city of Moorhead adopted
home rule charter May 1900.
At that time the Indebtedness of
the city was $175,000. The total
indebtedness Of the city is now
$4,000, 80 that it has been re-
duced under the charter organ
ization the tremendous sum of
$l35, 900, and that without any
extra tax levy or increase in the
expense of maintaining the city.
Provision has been made for the
payment of the balance of the
indebtedness as fast as it falls
due. At the time of the adoption
of the charter the tax levy for
villages purposes was rs mills;
there is.now NO city tax levied
whatever except 81 mills for the
public library. The expense of
maintaining the city has not in
creased at all and the total tax
levy has decreased from about
80 mills to 80 for the next year.
Could there possibly be any
stronger argument for city in
corporation? '&'>i9
The great success of the Moor
head charter led to the adoption
of home rule charter by Fergus
Falls a couple Of years later, said
il. 4. McConkey, who was for
years a resident of Fergus Falls:
Fergus Falls under it's home
rule charter has paid off a large
portion of it's Indebtedness and
has provided for the payment of
the balance while there has been
no increase in the expense of
maintaining the city not with
standing the fact that an extern
sive system of public improve
ments has been inaugurated and
partially carried out. y
Detroit has had the same ex-
perience. Since the adoption of
his home rule charter the tax
rate has been lowered and at the
same time the bonded Indebted
ness of the city has been largely
reduced.
