Mayors Message.
In compliance with precedent long

submit my communication to you en-
bodying in it such recommendations
and suggestions as to me seem proper
at this time. An administration that
is managed loosely cannot be finan-
cially successful; it should be our
aim to conduct the affairs of the
city in the future so as to continue
the confidence of the outside world in
the capability of Watertown to fur
nish adequate security to all invest
ors who may desire to come here and
invest their money. The treasurer's
report shows that Watertown is today
IN a position which reflects cerdit up
on it's citizens and which should as

Harmony and good feeling should
at all times PREVAIL this will accom-
plish the best results. The confidence
placed in us should not be misused
and all measures affecting the inter-
ests of the public should be carefully
considered and disposed of in a man
of all our citizens. Our aim should be
to transact all public matters in a
business like way, not for the benefit

After the AutOiStS

The following is copied from a recent
issue of the Eugene (Ore.) Daily Guard,
which shows that the officers of that
city are Oh the alert and after Smart
Alexis" who exceed the speed limit in
Eugene:
"Ten autoists will probably appear in
the police court tomorrow for exceeding
the speed limit. Yesterday Chief of Po-
lice Harrington stationed thre officers at
different places on East Eleventh street,
a favOrite speedway for autOists, each
autos passing the officers during the
afternoon was taken, with the result
that ten of them were found to be going
faster than fifteen miles per hour, which
is the limit placed by ordinance outside
the fire limits of the city, twelve miles
per hour being the limit inside the fire
district.
The officers took the time made by the
automobiles in travelling the distance of
block, and easily computed the rate OF
speed in that way. One man actually
drove his machine at rate of 55 miles
an hour for a short distance, according
to the figuring Of one of the officers.
No warrants have yet been sworn out
for those who are accused of speeding,
but the names are in the hands of the
officers, and they will probably be cited
to appear in court tomorrow or next day,
Judge Bryson being very busy with other
matters today"
