Annual Reports Of Officers and Committees
City OF Brunswick for the Year 1913

highest state health officer we were
assured the system is a perfect sue
cess and in my opinion We should bv
al means continue to strictly enforce
this ordnance Our records show
practically on cases of malarial
fever reported during TIE year
and | attribute this to the sys-
tematic fight made on the mosquito
Each year where the fight is made
there develops very few cases and
think we should Dy ali means contin-
lie to keep up this fight The wisdom
of keeping an all time health officer
can be pIainly shown by the many
improvements made III health condi-
tons since the employment of the
present officer, and | strongly recon-
ment that the city strain a point and
continue the services OF some well
qualified person in TINS position To
do otherwise would be a step back
wards and | am sure this is not the
desire Of a single citizen.
While our public works department
has been run very economically dur
IN this department could be material
ly benefited by placing tie city engi-
neer IN direct charge and hold him
responsible to the committee in
charge CT this department. At pres
ent his time Is only partly occupied
and he could very easily take on this
additional work. The result being
that of having a paid employe in
time if necessary, instead of having
the chairman OF the public works de-
voting a portion Of his time. This
would be the means of relieving tne
chairman OF this committee of this
burden.
| wish in conclusion to say the spic
1t existing amongst you is most adj
mirable and great source Of graft
fication to me, while you may possibly
have differed in matters of little i'm
port there has been no strife AMONGST
you such as mas been known to have
existed in former councils. Your whole
aim has been to work for the benefit
Of the city and the SLOWING made
speaks for itself. | sincerely trust the
same spirit VIII continue to exist
amongst you and that we " ill be abb.
to make an even better showing for
the ensuing year.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE CON-
MITTEE
j. HUNTER HOPKINS.

Brunswick, Ga. Jan 1. 1914
Hon. Mayor and Council, Brunswick
Ga.
Gentlemen: Rour committee begs
to report that for the year ending
Dec 81, 1913, the net deficit has been
reduced $7,66040 and S25 5000 added
to the net surplus
We have been able % make this
decrease in the net deficit only by
strict economy and the cooperation
of the various committees in keepia !
their departments fairy close to the
estimate
There was no budget appropriations
for 1913, but an estimat., made of the
probable needs of the various depart
ments, for the guidance of the com
mittees, and this committee is pleas
ed to report that as a whole the ex-
penditures were $3,11I53 inside of
the estimate.
There is now in the sinking
fund $22,7S048 and accrued interest
approximately 1920 or a total of $23,-
700.4S. Every cent due the sinking
fund out of the tax levy for 1913, hay
ing been paid over to the commission
Iers as far as practicable at the MAX
ing UP of the financial statement, ST.
343.37, the amount due it on 1913 ex-
ecutions collected in december has
been paid over at this lca ding, jan s.,
1914, and the remaining 81 S053l out
of the uncollected executions will be
paid as soon as collected
The open account for vitritied brik
paving completed in the early part Of
the year and carried in our liabilities
at $1S,745.89 but which eventually to-
tailed S20,03664 was settled accord
ing to contract, part cash and the
balance $l6,916.45 in notes, $5,616.45
of them have been paid and including
the unpaid notes of 81 500, our total
notes ofloat are but 35,97275. Our
notes in the bank were reduced $1,000
in 1913.
The effort made before the legisla-
ture in 1913 to secure a charter amend
ment or bill enabling the city to re-
fund a part Of its bonded Indebtedness
was unsuccessful, and the necessity
is very pressing for other effort or
some plan other than by its sinking
fund, to retire these bonds at maturi-
ty. This is indeed a problem and I'M
til it is solved every penny that can
possibly be so used must be placed
in the sinking fund.
The details of receipts and expen-
ditures for 1913 are fully covered in
the reports to follow, 10 which your
attention is invited

Brunswick. Ga, Jan. |. 1914.
Hon. Mayor and Counc'', Brunswick
Ga.
Gentlemen: This department, com
prising public works, cemeteries,
parks and squares, and the sanitary
department, was operated during the
year at an expenditure of $25,719.16,
which included the cost of the SAM
tary surface closet install alton, of 81, ;
G14.53 Exclusive OF this item, the
cost of the department was $4195.37
les than the amount of its budget es-
innate of $2S,300. This saving was
effected by economy wherever pract:-
cable with substantial work.
The operations were practicable
with substantial work
The operations wer9 principally
confined to maintenance, the problem
of suitable paving material other than
brick being a hard one to solve.
Thirty-tWo cars of gravel and a few
shells We're used for pate hing. Sever
al carloads of sawdust from the tur-
pentine plant were used on sandy
streets, upwards of ten miles being 50
treated and it is not too much to say
that there Is scarcely a street in the
city, but what can be easily travelled
with any kind of n vehicle. We have
opened up bitches in the south end,
and done considerable embarrassing
with a view of getting rid of the mos
qultoes graded Second avenue, and
generally improved the appearance of
the lower end Of the cit The leaky
roof on the city stable was replaced
with C rrugated iron; drains cleaned
out, and bridges put in repair. The
equipment of the department is in
good condition, with the exception Of
of live stock, which can bear
replacing in some quarters. The
details OF the work done during
the year will be shown II the report

is Sl,014.50 less than the ct estimate
The equipment is in far condition
