|SIORY OF YEARS
| WORK TOTO BY REPORT
Administrative Board Sends Results
of It's Iabors to Mayor Ainslie.
Water Departments Showing.

The annual report of the admins
trative board for 1916 has been pre-
scented to the mayor. and has been
sent to the public printer to be pre-
pared for distribution. The re-
port, which covers all the departments
of the city government under the con-
troll of the board. refers to the water
department as the most vital, and
gives the department lengthy treat
ment.
The report Is prefaced by a state
ment of the condition of general bust
ness and government throughout the
world. The beginning of the prepar-
alton Of this report finds the whole
of Europe in battle and the press OF
the country predicting within daV
or two the active participation OF this
country in the drama OF war it says.
Then follows a review Of the depart
ments the first being the electric de-
partment. Then comes the bureaus
and departments Of parks. cemeteries,
Fairgrounds. city dock. water. streets,
James river improvement, city en-
gineer's Office, gas. sewers. weights
and measures. building department,
city home and hospitals. and markets.
Total of appropriations for the wa
ter department is set out as $685.
$3.50 In 1916, with net receipts fig
uring s340.S00s3 The difference is
shown to be more than made up by
the amount OF water used by the va
rious city departments, and free to
churches and charitable institutions
This department, declared the most
vital" Is indicative Of the good show
ing made by the other departments
