SANITATION
The expenses of this department
the present year are in excess of the
budget estimate and appropriation as
appears by the clerks report. is
$365.15. This is mainly accounted foI
by the expenses incident upon the en-
ployment of a plumbing inspector, ttn
officer elected after the departments
estimate had been prepared. We are
of the opinion that this Office should
DE continued during the coming year
and filled by competent, practical
nonresident plumber. This officer is
a necessary adjunct to the city en-
gineer office. The duties of the city
engineer, properly discharged. will not
permit the time necessary for Ter
sonal attention to all the details IN
the installation of sewerage
The general sanitary conditions o.
the city, from the reports Of III
health officer, are very good. Thc
sewerage. system is in good or,ier and
condition. A slight break caused BY
the railway, occurred under the track
of the A., B. & A. r. r. Co., near the
Georgia Sash, Door e Blind Co.'S fac
tory in February last. This has b@er
thoroughly repaired, and the bill 70!
the railroad companys proportion
amounting to $112.93, is now in pro
cess of settlement
LIGHT.
We adopted during the present yea
a plan to have our entire lightin&
system rearranged. The redistrictins
of the city for that purpose was done
after careful inspection by the cit.
engineer and the city electrician, an,
the redistribution of arcs and mean
descents, when carried into effect
abolishing the gas lamps, will, in GU
| judgment, give general satisfaction
We have provided as many new light
as our means will permit. 1t wa
| hoped and expected that the subst
tuition of incandescent lamps for tn
! gas lamps would have been complete
before the year expired. Doubles
| the construction Of the street railwa
has interfered with the company
plans, but we may reasonably hop
and expect, now that their line is i
! operation, that the substitution Wi
| be rapidly made, as the gas lamp
are wholly unsatisfactory.
WATER
Extension of the water mains il
! the northeastern section of the cit
, which is being rapidly built up, i
, an urgent necessity. Enlargement O
the present mains in certain local.
ties is desirable and it should be ha'
if it is possible.

Brunswick, Ga. Dec. 81, 1909.
-onorable Mayor and Council,

Brunswick, Ga, Dec. 81 1909
Honorable Mayor and Council,
Brunswick, Ga.
Gentlemen: This department has
exceeded it's budget appropriation for
the year by $911.84. This is account
ed for principally by repairs to bar
racks, and the purchase and addition
of three horses to the equipment OF
the department, it being, in the judg
ment of your committee, more salts
factory and more economical for the
department to own the stock for the
mounted men.
There is a perceptible increase in
the number OF arrests for the year
being 815 from January Is to Deem
Der 2S in 1909, as against 645 in 1908,
an increase of 26.35 per cent. There
is also an increase III the amount OF
police (see note) fines collected, be
ing $2,95775 for 1909, and $2,26795
for 1908, an increase of nearly 81
per cent.
The number serving sentence N
jail and on the streets is practically
the same, being "a for 1908 against 81
for 1909.
The proportion of discharged to the
number CT arrests shows an increase,
being 281 out of SIS, or 34.4S per cent.
in 1909 against 182 out Of CAS-. or 1921
per cent in 1908
The collections By the marshal dur
ing the year have exceeded the rec
ords of the office of any one year for
the past ten years. aggregating 70.

Gentlemen: The expenditures in this

Gentlemen:
FIRE DEPARTMENT

This department has exceeded its
appropriation by $1,S79.71, less credit
for electrical engineer fees and
sales of junk, $153,S9 or net $1,725.S2,
among the reasons being the addition
OF an extra man to the departments
force after the budget was prepared;
much needed repairs to the build
ing; the purchase of sufficient bed :
ding; the installation CT a water
guage, and the establishment of a
new fire alarm box. We have too long
delayed extension of the fire alarm
system: at least two boxes should be
installed each year.
This department is now well euuip-
ped; probably better than any other
department. One thousand feet of new
nose We're provided during the year,
and as at present equipped, the cost
of this department for maintenance
the coming year should be materially
less than for 1909.
Steps should be at once taken to-
wards the enlargement of the water
mains; in the outlying districts cspe-
cIally. In the business district, the
mains are barely sufficient in size with
the present pressure, but at any con-
siderable distance from the water sup
ply station the fire plugs, 70: which
we pay good round sum, owing TO the
small mains and the inability to put
on the proper pressure, are practically
useless
