THE CITY ADMINISTRATION.

THE CITY ADMINISTRATION.
While the Republican administra
ton has been assailed In almost ever!
ether direction, and without excep
ton, unjustly, even the Democratic
Imagination has failed to trump NJ
any charge against the city officer
and their chief executive, Mayor
Hugh Toole, and even II nothing
else could be said this fact alOn,
would constitute testimonial Of M
mean order to the business ability o
the present city council.
As matter OF fact the good wOrl
commenced by the Rossi adininistra
tion and the seed sown then has be
gun to bear fruit under Mayor Toolt
and his associates. The great Demo
cratic cry that Wallace was to be a
hotbed OF vice under the present Re-
publican administration has not only
been proved untrue, unfounded and
unwarranted, but rs matter Of fact
the city Of Wallace IL cleaner, more
l,soral and It's affairs, municipal and
private, arc better conducted than
cvci before In the history Of the COM
munity.
The efficiency of the police force,
which has never Mt any time been
called in question. has been improved
and increased TO such an extent tina.
the record OF crime In Wallace and
tts vicinity IL less today than ever
before. The town has been cleaned
Of bnms. hohoes ard parasites and
even In these times OF depression
there IL nm air OF healthy prosperity
which cRn be found in few towns In
tho United States.
The, building boom Of last spring
end summer threw new responsible
tiles and unlocked for obligations on
the executive ard these were dealt
with as they appeared. New STREETS
have been graded In Mob Hill and
Capitol HIN additions, the sewer sys.
tenn hes been extended, the city lights
have been increased mateMally In
number and reduced materially In
cost.
Two. new bridges have been con-
strlrted across Placer creek and nm.
other across the river at Sixth street.
The tyranny Of the railroads with re-
gard to the street crossings has been
cur,jcd and source or danger modi-
fed. The tailings question as far as
TINT RfYects the prosperity Of the city
has heer settled and III danger Of
future foods and accidents removed.
A water commission has been or.
Pani2ed IN conrlinncc with the law
and not less than 400 families In
have been benefited thereby.
"sis.ertsor has been questioned by q
few. Of the most Democratic spirits
hut when all Is said ard done, the
law rceuiress 1t ard 1t puts the water
question where 1t should be at all
fiines--on a business basis.
improvements have been made on
the city park and these will be con.
'inued us time and finance will per.
nit. i is the hope Of the present nd.
that this will be curbed
III around and that seats will be ,
'laced therein, making 1t one OF the
most pleasant resorts in the city. ,
The fire fighting facilities have I
'een Increased and the Gamewell
larm system installed under the v
'ossl administration has been ampli. l.
led BY the addition Of new alarm h
ell and gong to notify the water n
over company when higher pressure
required. The hose equipment has "
cen increased and new hydrants .
ave been placed where needed, with Il
re result that direct benefit has
pcn felt by the people. Confidence Il
DIV reigns where the fire department o
concerned and. better than all, the a
At Of, insurance has been materially e'
ducad. 81
