Gentlemen of the Council:
"We are at the beginning of new
administration of the affairs of the viii
lage. You have been elected to the
council az trustees, and myself as pres
ident, for the handling of the property
of the village and the conduct of the
village government, simply because it
is impossible that all the people may do
this. We are charged, therefore, with
all the duty and peculiar responsibility
which surrounds the performance of
duty by those entrusted to duty by
others.
To say that we will run the affairs of
the village of L'Anse as we would our
own affairs is to my notion not enough,
because we must give td our work in
the care of the village property and the
village interests that scrupulous and
conscientious care which is not always
given to private interests.
Following the acceptance of this Of
flee by me, deem it my duty under the
law to make few suggestions as to
my notions concerning the affairs of the
village.
l. / believe that the village should
be put on firm, stable and businesslike
financial basis; that no order for money
should be issued unless there are funds
in the treasurer's hands to meet the
same; that the bills of the village
should be paid promptly, and that a
sinking fund should be established to
take care Of the village Indebtedness.
2. believe that every person hav-
ing bill against the village should be
obliged to submit the same promptly,
that is within the time when persons
business people) usually render bills;
that the same should be thoroughly and
carefully audited by this board before
payment, and then, if allowed, prompt
ly paid.
3. would suggest that this council
adopt rule that no contract will be
considered binding on the village un-
less it has the 20. X" of the appro-
pirate committee of the council before
hand.
A. When the village is placed on a
good, firm financial basis / believe that
as much money as is available, and no
more, should be utilized fer the repair
of our roadways and sidewalks.
5. favor the establishment and
maintenance Of public park some
thing which will call expressions of
