slightest indication of an inclination

Mr.. Stohl reached the Dayton office
lust before the flood broke in the small
hours Of. Tuesday morning. The wa
ter came with such suddenness that
art bal.erieS and power were put out
of commission before any measures
could be taken to protect them. This
left the wires without current and eff
feetually cut off Dayton. Stohl rum
mayed around and found lineman's
test set" with this he made his way
to the roof of the building, cut in
on the Phoenten and reported to Will
ia ms whose batteries were Stiil in
condition. Over this meagre equip
ment messages were exchanged by
means of the underground wires of the
company. which held up until after
the noon hour Tuesday. when the
cable in which they We're encased gave
way.
The break. however. was south OF
Dayton and Phoenton was still in
touch with the food stricken city.
Since then Stohl has remained on the
roof of the building suffering the dis
comforts of pouring rain and low
temperature in order that the waiting
world might have some word from
Dayton.

in the semi final between the rising

The inaugural Address.

Gentlemen OF the city NoUneH.-
Under conditions perhaps without pre-
eedent in this city the people have laid
upon us a solemn duty of citizenship. In
answer to their mandate we are met
here tonight to formally inaugufate Il
city government for the ensuing year.
At the outset it is an inspiration to re-
call that we are the successors of long
line of men who not only thought it
privilege but deemed it an henor end q
duty to thus participate in the city's al
fairs. Called by our fellow citizens 10
assume the responsibility of public office,
we should enter unon our new duties
with an appreciation of the confidence
reposed i'm US nor fail to carefully weigh
the obligation inscparable from the trust
imposed.
You will bear with me. am sure,
while l outline the policies which, with
your cooperation, | hope to put in force,
and state my high hopes for the future
of Augusta as a city of homes and
s-rnwing center Tor business.

Any corporation doing the business OF
the magnitude of Augusta has system
of purchasing supplies. Lack of system
breeds carelessness resulting IN extraV-
aganee and loss. I recommend the pas
sage of an ordinance providing for the
purchase of supplies or articles of amy
description or the contracting of any IN
debtedness in the name of the city of
Augusta by written order on regular re-
QUESTION blank provided by the city. The
requisition should carry no power to pur-
chase or contract any Indebtedness I'M
less approved in writing by the Mayor.
The ordinance will further provide that
all bills presented for payment shall be
approved by the Auditor and shall be
signed by the person, firm or corporation
presenting the same Such person, firm
or corporation shall also state tate thereon ION
goods ordered comply with the itemized
equston that said goods have been S@T
and that the price charged is no more
than the regular. market price. That
this method. practiced by all large cor
porations, will result in a saving to the
city there can be no doubt.
