The new Council held its arst bus

Message From the Mayor.
A message from Mayor. Geo. Cameron,
Jr.. was read and appropriately re-
ferred. The Mayor makes many prac-
tical and Important recommendations
for the consideration OF the Council
OF which an abstract is here given
In his opinion the City Engineer
Office Is too vo!unlinous and great for
any one man. He recommends that an
assistant engineer should be appointed
TO aid in the work of the office, thereby
saving unnecessary delay and securing
better work. In his judgment the city
is very much in need of one or more
small reservoirs. The public is &C.
pendent upon one reservoir, admittedly
weak in construction. In the event of
the breakage OF this reservoir the city,
1t is true. may be saved from water
breaking of the water mains in the
lower part OF the city. 1t seems, there
fore. an urgent necessity that one or
more small reservoirs should be built.
Tho Mayor also recommends that the
city look to the necessity, while per-
haps not Immediately apparent. of a
greater supply of water for the public
Use.
Incrcnse of Police Force.
The Mayor strongly urges an in
crease in the force of the police de-
partment by at least ten men, and
the installation of such equipment az
