The Annual Report OF Mayor Ihad.
|. Fulier


|. Fuller
TO our citizens and to the
honorable city council of the city
of Milbank:
Taxation and finance, at pres
ent is of especial consequence, IN
view of the pressing needs tor
many improvements such as have
been and are being made by 9TH
er cities, competitors of ours, with
whom we must keep pace. Money
well expended by city will
bring many returns upon the in
vestment for the freehoader and
the tax payer. improvements are
being made by our neighbor!ng
cities for their inhabitants, and
the electors of the county have
constructed fine court house at
their county seat; and it is up to
the voters of Milbank to do their
part by providing sufficient
funds to make this city an at
tractive place in which to reside
and entertain visitors, as we'll as
a means for the improvement of
business conditions.
The necessary funds should not
be raised by tax levy alone, but
rather by bond issue, whereby
money can be had for about five
percent per annum, plus the ex-
pense Of fiscal agent, and pay
ment distributed over period
of ten to fifteen years, thereby
making the annual requirements
much less, and requiring others
who will enjoy the results Of our
expenditures to help share the
cost.
Local improvements: Our clti-
zens are asking for better
streets, more walks and cross
ings. The streets approaching
the pavements should be cut
down to grade in such a way as
to protect the movement from
mud and water, and this can only
be done by grading and rolling,
with a small covering of gravel,
followed by proper use of the
oil, to aid the drainage and keep
down the dust. Especial atten-
ton should be given to the high
ways leading into the city as the
first sign OF welcome to the visit
ors. In this connection, however,
/ think it would be wise to have
the city engineer establish curb
lines and grades to bring about
uniformity and help provide
proper drainage Of streets, which
will thereby lessen the expense
of maintenance. Furthermore,
the surveyor should provide a
corporation plat, which can be
filed in the office Of the register
of deeds, showing all outlots and
boundaries.
The viaduct roadway should be
repaired and put in first class
condition to provide for the needs
of Hunter Granite Works and to
encourage travel that way, rath-
er than over the railway tracks,
in order to avoid possible injury.
During the past year floods and
unusually bad weather have in
terfered with our street work,
nevertheless, without a sufficient
appropriation to cover the cost OF
much needed work, Chas. Sut-
cliffe, street commissioner, has
managed to keep the streets 9
credit to the city, and has at all
times kept expenses at q mini
mum.
Waterworks: The Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul Railway Co,
will soon be repairing its pump

At tho close there was a partial recov-
