Mayors Address.

Gentlemen of the City Council
In one respect at least this is a
remarkable city government, Ter
every member was unanimously nomi-
mated and unanimously elected, some
thing that has never occurred before
to my knowledge. We can certainly
start out. upon the theory that the
people are with us. and now we must
show them that we are capable of
conducting the affairs of the munich
pality and thus retain their goodwill
and confidence.
| purpose telling my story today In
two chapters. the first treating of the
things which the past administration
has accomplished, and the second, of
the things the present administration
should accomplish.
. CHAPTER I.
Soon after our installation into Office
last spring. we took up the question OF
thetremoval of the electric light poles
from Water Street and we found the
company very willing to assist us in
making the change. When the work
had been carried out the improved APP
pearance of our main thorOughfare
could not hut be noticed and it is In
cumbent upon us to see that no new
poles are placed in Water Street this
year. have no doubt that the NUM-
cipal officers can make arrangements
with the electric road people to have
the wires attached to the buildings
through the business section and that

fhe decision of the electric road
owners to make Gardiner the start
ing point for connection with the
Androsceggin valley, was most
certainly a great thing for this city.
.Much pressure was brought upon them

OF Augusta, but with all the municipal
authorities and other good and inter-
ested citizens taking hold of the pro-
position in earnest, if quietly, we sue
'ceeded in obtaining the advantage. and
a. tremendously big advantage it will
be as the years roll by. The more
railroad and steamboat facilities we
can obtain. the more progress we shall
make.
The past administration was of
much assistance in obtaining the re-
lease OF the electric road location from
Depot Square to the Steamboat wharf
and after long struggle, it now seems
extremely probable. that no branch
