can soon be made for the erection of
a joint count yand city office build
ing is commended in the staten ent,
and the selection of place and con-
struction of a public comfort station
also is urged.
Referring to the survey of the
Mulberry street bridge, Mayor Keis-
ter voiced his opinion again that a
low curb or a strong iron railing
should be constructed along the side
walk to safeguard pedestrians.
Because of the popular demand
for bathing facilities q prediction is
made that this question has now
reached the stage where it would be
wise for Council to consider 1t. 1t Is
interesting to note that while Mayor
Keister now advocates early provi-
sion of these much-needed facilities,
a request for $1,000 for such a pur-
pose was refused and cut from the
1919 appropriation ordinance.
Survey Is Urged
A joint housing survey by the po-
lice and health bureaus is recon-
mended, the statement being made
that the city solicitor said such a
departments.
Drastic action should be taken
after the survey to compel property
owners to make the houses sanitary
and fit for tenants, the chief execu-
tive advised. The authorities should
be given power to close the houses
and placard them if the owners do
not keep them in good condition.
Before concluding the lengthy re-
port, brief mention is made of the
need for money for the Police Quick
Charity Fund, which was almost de-
pleted last winter in furnishing aid
during the extremely cold weather.
Ordinances Introduced
After the annual message of May
or Keister and the annual report of
Chief of Police Wetzel had been read
in Council session, Commissioner G..
w. Burtnett introduced an ordinance
creating the position of assistant city
assessor, as provided in the 1919
budget ordinance. The annual sal
ary will be $1.S00. When the meas
ure passes finally it is understood that
Harry w. Keeny is to be appointed
to the position.
Commissioner w. II. Lynch intro
duced a measure which when passed
will give him authority to sell an
old sweeper now owned by the city
highway department. to Lebanon, for
$780,. Commissioner S. F. Hassle-
read two measures one directing the
purchase of horse, wagon and har-
ness for the water department for
$500 and the other authorizing the
purchase of two new fire alarm boxes
for 5000 and a police register for
1926.
The Commissioners passed finally
the ordinance increasing the salaries
of city employees. as provided in the
new appropriation ordinance.
