after, and watches the time for the
arrival and departure of the mails

said: "It is my greatest pleasure To-Day

# is never easy to preserve such harmo-
nv of purpose as has been shown during

the eayel and wished them happy and

matte, well established lines, that will
eventually result in an adequate system.
SIDEWALKS.
Good sidewalks add greatly to the an
pearance of the city, and are more COM
monty used than any other ways of ira
vel For these reasons, they should re-
ceive our careful attention. AS in our
bodybuilding. there should be a policy or
plan of original construction that assures
permanency and maintenance at small ex-
pense. Granolthic walks meet these re.
quirements. and their building should be
encouraged. for they contribute to the
beauty or the city. and make a street
more attractive. Under the present ar
rangement, the city bears the expense of
this type Of walk equally with the abut-
tiers, making the cost to the latter about
70 cents per square yard. Our citizens
can make no small investment which WILL
add more to the appearance and value
OF their property, than to join with the
city In building sidewalks of this class.
PARKS AND PUBLIC GROUNDS.
Augusta Is unfortunate in having no
parks or Fairgrounds. suitable for out
door sports and gatherings The mort
gage has already commenced fore
closure proceedings upon the property of
the Capital Park Association, which, I
am informed. may be secured for the
benefit OF the city, for a little less than
$1,000. Including the gravel deposit, the
property undoubtedly has a commercial
value OF more than this amount. If the
quality Of this gravel is suitable for road
building, it would be of great value to the
city as the present supply is limited. The
question of acquiring control of this
property will probably come before us
and should receive most careful consid-

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.
AS our charter requires that our high
way department shall be in charge Of an
engineer and trained road-builder, am
convinced after careful investigation, that
the work of the city engineer can be per-
formed by the commissioner of streets,
in connection with his regular duties.
without impairing the efficiency Of the
department, thereby saving the city
substantial amount each year.With this
In view. 1 shall appoint the same man
to both positions with the understanding
that his salary as commissioner of streets
shall include all work performed by him
as engineer The question of highways Is
one of the most important before us.
The city has about 80 miles of country
highways and about 80 miles of city
streets. a large portion of which is clay
and hilly, making construction and main
tenance expensive. A large amount or
money has been expended in the construc-
ton of our highways In the past, and but
little attention given to their mainte-
nance. The building of new highways is
important, but it is equally important
that they receive proper care after they
are built The question Of maintenance
is of growing Importance, as our high
ways are subjected to harder usage each
year, owing to constantly increasing
traffic. AS much permanent work should
be done each year as possible without
neglecting the maintenance of roads az
ready built.
SEWERS.
The outgoing administration has done a
large amount of work upon our sewers,
improving and extending the system,
which is to be commended. for good sew
ers are not only a public necessity, but
add to the value of property. To install
a proper sewer system, would require
the expenditure of large amount of
money, which is not available for the
purpose, and would necessitate issuing
bonds. AS this does not seem advisable
we should take care Of our immediate
needs. as they arise, doing as much new
work each year as possible along syste-

FINANCE.
AS the financial year does not commence
until March 1st, there will be ample op-
portunty to get good grasp of affairs
before taking UP the real work of the
year. In making up the appropriations
the fixed expenses are easily determined
but the appropriations for improvements
must be carefully studied and the proper
relations between revenue and exnendi-
lures maintained. The policy Of retiring
bonds to the amount of $4,000 per year
should be continued, but can see no way
to make further reductions of the city
debt, without increasing the tax rate or
disseminating improvements or permanent
work.
