DELHI COLONY, Calf, February
lS.-Californias second State land
settlement, the Delhi Colony, has re-
suited in band of disheartened far
mers who place their only hope in
remedial legislation affecting pay
ment on their places and an appro-
priation Of $250,000 to make neces-
sary improvements.
The colonists who settled from
Middle Western and Eastern States
under plan sponsored and indorsed
by the State through it's land settle
ment board, headed by DIR. Elwood
Mead, father of the land colonization
plan in the United States, yesterday
laid their story of hardship and
disaster before a legislative COM
mittee.
Make Plea for Help.
Already 4S settlers have aban-
doned their farms. Claiming to be
the victims of mismanagement and
of pyramided costs, settlers laid the
account of their years of effort be-
fore the committee and pleaded for
help to save their farms and homes.
The committee came here yester-
day, obtained a general impression
of the colony plan from Capt. }.
Winter Smith, it's superintendent,
and then left for a tour of the colony
by automobile.
On their tour the committee for
the first time came into direct touch
with the settlers and individuals
They met Charlie Stoop, a smiling,
hard working young man of "a, who
came to Delhi with $4,000 in cash
and invested it because he loved to

MAYOR MCLEANS INAUGURAL ADDRESS

mercial Street Some of the diff
fculties incident to The accomplish
ment of this work will be found in
the report of last year. Not only
has all the land owned by the City
and heretofore used by the Maine
Central Railroad Company been con-
verted to street uses, but there has
been leased from the Maine Central
Railroad and converted into street
uses a strip 16 feet wide between
Winthrop and Oak Streets and Il
strip ranging from 8 to IS feet be-
tween Oak and Bridge Streets, the
last named section of the street
Icing practically doubled in width as
n result of these changes.
AS condition precedent to the
construction of the street it was
necessary to remove the old stone
retaining wall and the large amount
of earth back of 1t and construct a
new cement retaining wall the entire
length of the street. 1t was also
necessary to move the building oc-
cupied for many years by Stone &
Cooper Us n coal office and located
nearly in the center of the new
street.
The widened street has been re-
graded and the greater part Of it
surfaced with bituminOus macadam.

Oliver W. Turner, alderman during
the past two years. has urged WIFI
i much force that oiiinG constitutes a
general improvement to the highway
rather than an individual service to
the abutter and hence that it should
be paid for out of the general tax levy.
. This has not been possible in the past
without an increase in the tax rate.
Z 1t is now possible. l suggest that we
give this matter prompt attentlon so
that when the oilng season opens
we shall have determined on DELI
mite policy in this particular.
Bonding Of Temporary Loan and
I Used Trust Funds
Since, and including the year 1921,
\ the City has ended its year with a
temporary loan of $4,000 or more.
That is the amount of the loan car
ried over into the present adminfstra-
ton, Temporary loans are designed
| to be used and should be used only
| in anticipation of taxes Tor the cur
rent year. They should not be used
/ to finance old obligations.
! For number of years it has been
the policy of the City 10 set apart all
trust funds entrusted to Its care.
/ Prior to that time however 1t used
ttese funds to the amount of S4S,-
! S17.19 to meet it's current expenses.
This was done without right and in
violation of the trust imposed on the
| City by the donors Of the funds.
These trust funds should he restored
! as a matter Of common honesty
| l recommend that bond issue be
created to take care of the foregoing
| obligations. This will put the City
on a sound business financial basis.
| feel sure that this recommendation
! will appeal to The business sense of
! this Council.
Civil Service for Police
| Respect for all laws is the test OF
, good citizenship. Fearless and i'm
partial enforcement of all laws is the
duty of all officials. It If the per
lection the good official sets for his
ideal. Anything that helps In its at
( tainment Is to be desired. To do his
best, an official should be free from
outside influence. He should receive
n living wage. He should answer to
no one higher up" except for miscon-
duct in office, and misconduct should
receive prompt and effective punish
ment.
Effort has been made during the
last two years to apply this principle
in connection with our police force
Political activity on the part of the
police has been discouraged, indeed
they have been requested not to par
! ticipate in election activities. This
has been done in the hope that 1t
might be the opening wedge In di-
vorcins the police force from political
control. I trust that we may now be
| prepared to take that step.
! [ suggest that committee consist
| ing of four members, two to be Sc
lected by the Mayor, (wfo now has
! the sole power Of naming the police),
and two by the City Council be APP
pointed for the purpose of drafting
! and submitting to the incoming legis-
lature an amendment to our charter
placing the police force under civil
service. This committee should. be
composed of men of recognized abil-
ity and standing whose motives no
one can question.

: hampered by even the inference that
there is an effort to perpetuate the

The full text OF Mayor McLean's
naugural address was as follows:
Gentlemen of the City Council:-
We are met 90 inaUgurate a new
city government. The exercises arc
something more than a form. They
are designed to start us out with n
deeper appreciation of the duties
confronting us and better under
standing of our several individual
res possibilities. There should be an
understanding of the work that has
preceded US so that there may be a
continuity of effort. This in part is
my reason for reviewing briefly the
work of the last year. The major
reason is, however, that ! feel that
the city reports from year to year
should set forth in concise and
readily accessible form what has
been accomplished as much for
future reference as for present in
formation.
