ever the city finances will permit of
such increase.
also recommend the adoption Of
an ordinance, limiting the speed OF
automobiles and carriage driving
upon the streets of the city, and also
an ordinance providing for all We
hicles to drive to the right at all
times, with the provision for penalty
or fine for violation of either of such
ordinances.
There have been but very few dis
astrous fires in the city during the
past year and the firemen have been
accredited with excellent work, except
when the water pressure has been
limited, and that was only on one or
two occasions However, fire insur-
ance companies still hold risks on
Cairo property at very high esti-
mate, and it is probable that it will
be a long time before any material
decrease in rates is obtained, but
steps looking to the ultimate lower
ing of insurance rates have been
taken and will be followed up until
reduction in the same is secured.
in the meantime, the owners of prop
erty in the city can rest assured that
while they are still paying the same
high insurance rates as formerly,
they are constantly getting better
protection from fires. The first step
| in this direction has been taken by
providing for an additional fire sta
| ton in the upper part of the city
! which will be ready for equipment
soon after the middle of the year.
Another most important improve
ment in this matter of better protec-
ton from fire is the rapid progress
in paving the streets of the city with
brick and | feel sure that the people
living on these paved streets an
precate the Improvement all the
more on account of the better protec-
ton from fire that the brick streets
| furnish.
The city jailer continues TO keep
| the expenses OF that necessary insti-
mticn at minimum cost to the tax
payers, and at the same time does a
large amount Of work cleaning up the
streets each month with his prisoners
which otherwise would have to be
paid out Of the city's revenue, if the
work was done at all
Sanitary.
No changes from our former meth
DDS OF handling the sanitary condition
of the city have so far been made
from those that have existed for
many years past excepting such as
have resulted from the improved
sewerage system but the necessity
for work Of this kind is more and
more apparent, and do not see how
the city can longer delay taking
