The Mayors Address.

Mayor Rcuel j. Noyes then read ms
inaugural address as follows:
We have once more been chosen by the
voice of the people to assume charge OF
the affairs of the CITY OF AUGUSTA d
duty which we cheerfully undertake. ~
our working together we can give 10 the
city an administration which VIII DC
beneficial to all. The exceptional marx
have just placed upon our last year :
work. should give US renewed COURAGE
and strength 10 give to the city the
best of our ability. g..
thing to be considered by us all, for We
all are part of one great family we
should all strive to make this one oil the
most prosperous and husiness-like, aa-
mnistrations. BY so doing We viii be
doing the greatest good for the cay.
Country Highways.
Great good was accomplished upon
our good roads and country highways
We paid particular attention to fXlnE
up the macadam road, and the work
should be continued this year. With a
normal amount expended each year,
the roads can be kept in good repair,
Departments.
All of our different departments are IN
good condition; but | want to caution
YOU to keep close watch. for all the way
to do good work and keep the expenses
down is by eternal vigilance in all de-
tails.
Lighting.
| should like very much, if possible
and if finances will permit, to work out
a new system of lighting Water. street
The system now in use is Inadequate.
y uniform system would be a great adj
vantage to the city, and appreciated by
ALL
Taxation.
The new system of taxation which was
recommended and started last year.
think will prove of great good to the
city. The method of separating land
values from improvements thereon will
have a tendency to equaliZe taxation foT
all of our citizens. In that way the
huroen of taxation will be more equally
divided.
Water Street.
The good work which was started lasi
year must be carried forward TINS year
and as much completed as is possible loI
the city to do with its limited means.
| think in this way in a few years we vii
have a nice street without having any
| extra burden placed upon the city. A
well-paved and well-lighted street is q
great advantage to city. especially
where a city has such large number oil
| tourists as we have
Sewers.
| shall repeat what / said last year il
regard to sewers. The practice of build.
| ing sewers for years in Augusta, / think
is wrong, resulting in abuse to the city
! iii the way of collecting assessments
The system has been for property hold
ers to sign petition for sewer ant
| when it is finished they go to the com.
mittee on highways and sewers and ash
| for an abatement of their assessment
until they build on a vacant lot, the city
| meanwhile losing the use of the money
| Lots are more valuable where sewers
| have been constructed. | would recon-
mend that hereafter all property holder.
when a sewer is completed pay their as
sessment; and no more ATTACHMENTS to bs
allowed.

SOS, i93.3S Paid IN years
The matter Of indebtedness Of the city
and paving bonds has caused moro or
less discussion OF late by our citizens
The $1,000 of bonds that falls due every
year for the next few years with the
coupons and fixed charges is more than
the city can pay with the present rate
of taxation | do not favor raising the
rate. / would suggest that Il sinking
fund be created which would amount APP
proximately to = per cent. year. In
this way, We could get along and pay
our bills and ii would not be such bur
den upon our people.
The school bonds and coupons that
come due every year and are paid by
the city, ] would recommend be charged
to the account of schools. 1t would not
make any difference In expense to the
CITY. excepting that it would give the
people chance to Sc Just what the
schools cost, as we all have the right do
know.

Lamentations.

The question of appropriations is one
of the most difficult that corfronts US
TO-DAY. sometimes large appropriation
Is economical, and a small one an eX-
traYagance.
If we all would conduct the citys bust
ness as We would do our own, we would
not go far wrong. Extra expenses viii
come up which none of us can foresee at
the time the appropriations are made up.
In that way. departments will over-ruu
with the best business management.
We shall be obliged to make quite
heavy additional appropriations this year
on account of brown-tail moths, which
has never been done before. but is very
essential for the city's welfare.

Former Representative Joseph H.
Gaines, OF Charleston, and ]. H.
Meek, of Huntington, representing
Congressman Hughes, are this after
noon arguing his side of the con-

resenting Mr.. Wiley, spoke an hour
and a half this morning. 1t was an

Factories Are Fewer But To-
tal Output Multiplies
Many Times.

BERLIN, Jan. 2T.-The trend to-
ward consolidation in industry ana
the displacement Of small factories
and establishments by large ones,
which nowhere has been more mark
ed than in Germany during the last
forty years, is brought out by Stats
tics just published.
These show an actual decrease in
the number of plants in some of the
leading industries in Germany, while
the aggregate product has been null
tiplied many times. The number Of
works producing crude iron has de-
creased since 1873, from 244 to 90,
and the number Of blast furnaces
from $40 to 800. yet the average an
Inual output of each establishment
has risen from 1882 tons to las, 4s8
tons, and the total production of pig
iron from 2,24OOOO tones to 1873, 900
tons.
In 1870 the amount of coal pro-
duced by the '22o mining companies
averaged only 1888 tons per COM
pany, but in 1910 the average was
4SO,59O tons for each of S1s COM
panies.
In the beet sugar industry, though
the nttrsEptodqcaon of Germany has
risen from 256,412 tons in 1875 to
I2,512,92s tons in 1910.
