DISCUSSES OTHER MATTERS
Tells Of Work at Washington Be-
fore Reading Of Message
at Council Meeting

In his annual message to the City
Council, read at last nights meet
ing, Mayor George Parsons urged ac-
tive cooperation on the part Of the
various committees and all iudivid-
uals concerned with view OF plac-
ing the leyees in condition that
will guard the city and the Drain
age District from a flood measuring
So feet on the Government gauge.
Another salient efature of his mes
sage was the recommendation OF n
maximum expenditure of $4,000 for
a new City Hall in the event OF the
successful passage of the Rivers and
Harbors bill, with the amendment
giving $4,000 to Cairo. II Tor any
reason. the amendment should fail
to become law, he declares that Y
would be useless to consider the erec-
tion of a new municipal building
this year
Other important matters concern
ing the city government, which the
mayor discussed in his message
were: Police, Jail and fire depart
ment; river improvements, public
and civic improvements, finances and
other matters in general.
Before reading his message Mayor
Parsons spoke eXtempOraneously
concerning his visit to Washington.
He declared that he had every con-
fdence in the successful passage of
the Rivers and Harbors measure,
with the Cairo amendment whicn
yet has to be passed upon by the
House conferees.

In referring to the City Hall bond

certain that the government is going
to assist the city authorities and the
Drainage District auhories in rails

will be paid out in labor to continue
the arrangements for the oonstruc-
tion of city hall without delay AMI
have such a building or buildings
constructed as will meet the needs OF
the city during the present year.
am not prepared to recommend un-
der the circumstances the expendi
ture OF the entire $4,000 that has
been voted for this purpose, but
do believe that it would be possible
to make arrangements for putting ur
a building with such improvement as
be necessary at an. expenditure OF
about $4,000 and have whatever
buildings that are so constructed
that they may be added to as neces
sity may require in the future. This
recommendation is based upon tn,
probability of the success OF the et
forts that are now being made II
Washington to secure the appropria
tion of $25O,000 to be used in rails
ing and strengthening the leyees.
for any reason, not in evidence a
this time, the city should fail to Sc
cure the appropriation for river pro
lection that now seems within 1t
reach, II would be useless to conside
the proposition to construct cit,
buildings this year. Otherwise
would strenuously urge the erection
OF a building that would meet tn
necessary demands of the city gov
ernment without delay"
