tart what Mayor Mckee would have
said had he lived and been present a
this time.
Reopening of Rolling Mills.
The first thing of great importance
was the reopening of the rolling mills.
ogden made every effort possible u
have the railroad company locate t.
mill in that city, but by prompt acti-I
on the part of the citizens OF LaIami
and the mayor and city council in offer
ing proper protection and %exempting
the mill from taxation for a period OF
ten years, we were successful in tn
securing of the reopenlng of the mi
in this city.
Electric Light Problem.
Next came the electric light problem
Not being able to make a satisfactory
contract with the Laramie Electric
Gas Light and Fuel company, we turn
cd our attention to another source anu
succeeded in making a contract with
the Laramie Light and Power com
pany, whereby we made a saving t.
the city of over $1,000 per year and
have much better service.
Fire Department Improved.
We have made a great improvement
in the efficiency Of the fire department,
by installing a new alarm system an,
a chemical engine, and changing from
a volunteer to a paid department, We
now have the best fire protection o.
any city in the state.
Sewers and Sidewalks.
The city has constructed 1880 feet
II sewer, and has established a con
crete sidewalk district that will even
tually extend over the entire city.
Many hagstone approaches have been
constructed which have improved the
street crossings materially. We have
constructed two concrete street cross
ings as an experiment and so far they
have proved a success and We hope to
see every street crossing in the on
crete district similarly improved dur
ing the coming summer.
Water Main To Cemetery.
A three-inch water pipe from the
main on Grand avenue has been o
structed to the cemetery. This, in con
noction with the artesian well, will
,upply the cemetery with water for al.
time to come.
New Water Main.
We have also nearly completed a
contract with the Union Pacific Rail
road company whereby a new iron pipI
Inc will be laid from the springs tc
he city without cost to the city.
