Tuesday morning the death of an
other pioneer citizen was announced,
that of Mrs F. M. Mead, at the farm

own. She was stricken a second
time with paralysis, and soon passed
away surrounded by her family.
Mr. and Mrs Frank M. Mead and
their two children came to Miller
from New York in 1882, and were
among the pioneer citizens. Mr.
Mead engaged in the lumber busi-
ness, and quilt one of the first dwell
ings on west Third ST., where they
resided several years, taking prom
inent part in the early day affairs of
the community. Several years ago
they purchased ant moved on to the
farm SOuth OF town.
Some five years ago Mrs Mead
had a first stroke of paralysis, which
partly disabled her, followed by a
second stroke Tuesday, which ended
her life at the age of 65 years and
four months. She leaves an aged
husband and two children TO mourn
her loss. The children, Mrs Helen
Beasom and r. S. Mead, both reside
here.
Funeral services will be conducted

MAYOR THOMSON'S
ANNUAL MESSAGE
What il Takes to Run a City
Like Miller.
To The City Council.

To The City Council.
Gentlemen: Following the law, !
have the honor of submitting my
annual message.
The appropriations made by you
on the first day of September, 1907
totaled $4,000 No. OF this amount it
was estimated that $4,000 would come
form other sources than the regular
tax levy. Accordingly you levied
$7640. 90 of taxes. The collections
so far indicate that your estimates
were correct. Of the $9460.00 ap-
propriated, $2628.9 % were expended
during the first half of the official
year which began on September l,
1907, leaving a balance of $683l .02
to be expended during the current
six months.
The following statement shows
each appropriation, the amount ex-
pended and the balance left of each,
March |, 1908.
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1908-05-14

By comparing the expenses for the
corresponding six months of last
year, it is certain that the expenses
for the current six months will not
exceed $1,000. In this estimate an
allowance of S1450 is made for water
works. 1t will thus be seen that the
floating Indebtedness of the city will
be reduced fully 100000 At this
date the floating Indebtedness, in
GLIDING city drainage warrants,
amount to $11436. 90, so that it will
be seem that if the policy being pur-
sued this year is continued three
years longer, the entire floating in
dedtedness will be paid.
A small property tax of two mills and
one days labor tax, making about $3.50
in all, has been levied for expenditure
on the streets, most of which will be
required 10 grade the approaches to the
new bridge Oh Second street
During the pas, year more than $500
worth OF drain was placed at inter-sec
tons of streets and alleys.
This year it would seem that the
greater part of our effort in keeping up
the streets should be in the line of
smoothing them. ID.
Our waterwsrks system is being eX-
tended every year, and being made
more and more substantial. The roc
ent purchase of a car load of cast iron
pipe, and the determination to use this
kind of pipe, instead of iron Or steel
pipe is in my opinion commendabie.
The receipts from water rents for the
year ending April 1st, exceeded 81, 200,
the largest amount collected in any one
year.
During the past year the large east
side city drain was completed at a cost
of about So, 800 and a large number of
private drains were constructed, SO
that now we have i'm successful opera
ton an extensive sewerage system.
The light service has been much inn
proved and should il possible, be ex-
tended by putting three lights in north
Miller. and one at or near the corner
of First and - streets.
While steps have been recently taken
to insure better water service for fire
protection, the service for south Miller
must remain bad until new pipe can
be placed instead of the three hundred
feet Oh upwards of two inch pipe now
in use. / recommend hat a stringent
fire ordinance be passed creating the
office of fire warden and defining his
duties. He should be given power and
required TO make thorough inspection
of buildings al stated times:
In closing. | beg to acknowledge the
uniform courtesy shown me by the
members of the Council, and | wish to
congratulate them upon the faithful
manner in which they have discharged
their duties.
