HARRISON OUTLINES
WORK FOR COUNCIL

AAyVH SsHs AAdIEASonI NS-eLeStct
mayor Of Mexico and president Of thu
city council which met for the frs
time under the new administration
Monday night, at that time made al
address which outlined explicitly man!
of the things which the present coun
ell should take as tasks upon itself.
The first subject he approached wa!
that of city streets, and he began b!
saying that past experience ha'
proved that dirt is not satisfactory al
building material and that hard sur
feed thoroughfares should be con,
structed all over the city. He advised
water-bound macadam with an oil fin
ish for Liberty street, E. Jackson, S
Clark, N. Wade and E. Monroe, and
stated that the first block south on
South jefferson Street should be re-
paved. Instead of oiling the streets,
as has been suggested by some as a
substitute for sprinkling, Mayor Har-
rison held the opinion that the streets
should be washed by means of a pres
sure tank, arrangements to be made
with the Power Company to obtain
water from the fire plugs.
A matter of extreme Importance
and one hat needs immediate atten-
ton, stated the speaker, is that of
grade crossings. Because the JeffAr-
son street crossing is getting more
dangerous with the continual increase
in the number Of trains passing and
because d viaduct would be impossible
there, the only remedy seems a via
duct over the Washington street cross
ing. It should be made Of concrete,
he explained, and amply wide enough
for both pedestrians and vehicles. 1t
is understood that under the rulings
of the Public Service Commission the
city will have to pay third Of the
cost and the railroads the other two
thirds. This would necessitate a bond
issue, which should be voted upon in
a liberal maner, without regard for
individual interests.
With the sewage disposal matter
in a fair way Of realization the sub
jcct Of garbage disposal arises. An
incinarator ear be bought for four or
five thousand dollars and could be
paid for Nv fees collected from the
individuals making use of it. When
the cost hqs been met the fees could
be reduced.
