 The first, and in my opinion, the most important matter is the health [ department While the general health { of the city is very good, we should take every precautionary and reason able means to keep it so. If there are yet in the city any cesspools and vaults which are deemed injurious to the health and cleanliness of the city, . it is your duty to order them abol- fshed, and the owner or owners of the property on which they may be To- cated, to make suitable and proper { connections with the public sewer; ] thereby, removing a nuisance, and a menace to the public health. Our city health officer receives an annual com pensation of $500, which l understand includes the ordinary expenses of the office such as stamps, printing, etc So I would recommend that the office be allowed all expenses incurred for materials used in the pursuance of his duties
 Milk Inspection Important.
 The duties of this office also in- cludes that of milk inspector, whicE duty should be performed in a thor ough and systematic manner. whicL l would pay a better return for the cos i than any other public expenditure, SC [ I think 1t would be well to have tht health officer give this matter specia attention, collecting samples for an alysis. etc.
 city's Financial Condition. Before we consider how the money of the people may be best employed during the present fiscal year, it seem! proper to call your attention to thu financial condition of the city Thel you will be in a better position tt judge what improvement may be be gun and completed without any ma ferial increase in the rate of taxation which later on might prove burden some.
