City Hall: wish to call atten-
ton to the second annual report
of Mayor Phil c. Saunders, as tt
the location of a city auditorium,
as a memorial to the boys who
served in the world war. We
must 90 our part to carry out his
recommendations.
New industries: We wish to
thank the men who displayed
their confidence in Milbank by
establishing new stores with en-
larged and new stocks of trade,
and Mr.. Hunter and Mr.. Dewar
for launching the substantial
wholesale and retail of Mahogany
granite, which promises much to
our citizens. There are other in
dustries under way, which will, l
trust, do much to improve our
city. We are likewise indebted
to Rev. J. J. O'Neill for his per-
sistence in building under ad-
verse conditions, a most attrac-
tive and we'll equipped modern
hospital, nearing completion. We
congratulate the men who have
seen fit to launch home build
ing company within our city, and
wish to encourage all who can
afford to do SO, to build dwellings
to provide for those who are de-
manding homes within our midst.
Carnegie library: The work
done by the librarian, Miss Shan
non, has no equal in the state,
and this institution is of great
value to both young and Old.
Mr.. Sutcliffe, Mr.. Murray and
Mr.. Geissinger, have done much
for the security and comfort of
our citizens in many needed
ways, and there are few who
know the hard work and constant
care required to aid in providing
a sufficient water supply for the
city, as we'll as for the electric
light plant, which has been de-
pendent upon the city.
You will be we'll informed as
to our financial affairs by study
ing the reports Of the city treas
urer and auditor, both of whom
have been active to safe guard
the best welfare of the tax pay
er and electors. When the paw
ing account has been transferred
against the property owners, to
pay, the other expenditures will
appear virtually normal.
Alderman Schnabel has been a
most faithful public servant and
has made record we'll deserving
your consideration, in view Of his
constant attention to all matters
Of detail and efficiency, at all
times having in mind the welfare
of the taxpayer, in matters of fl
nance, as chairman of that COM
mittee. for about ten years. Prior
to that time he also served upon
the city council. for a number of
wears. and has had great deal to
do with the building of the city.
On behalf of the citizens and the
city officers, we are indeed deep
" indebted for his faithful serv-
ice, whose advise and assistance,
it will be we'll to still seek and
Obtain. for he is well posted upon
all subjects relating to our city
activities.
The ordinances of the city are
being revised, as the present re-
vision was adopted December q,
1898.
] All departments have met
tevery demand made upon them
in our growing city and the
recommendations of each should
be followed.
In closing. l wish to thank the
officers, the aldermen and the
Icitizens for their indulgence and
kindness at all times, realizing
that unforeseen floods have caused
great damage to our streets, and
traffic conditions have delayed
the paving, knowing that It will
require renewed courage to keep
up with the boosters, who stand
for greater progress thar has
heretofore been made. =
