CYRILLE LABRANCHE, Jr., Clerk pro term. M A Y O R ’S ADDRESS MARCH 19, 1917 To the Members of the City Council: My message to you this morning is not long and it is not involved. I do not intend to cumber up the day with vain promises of deeds to be done and boasts, but would rather relate to you a few ambitions of my office and urge you to see their wisdom as it appeals to me. First, I would suggest we are all public servants of the city and that while the people may have been interested to a certain extent in the politics and side lights of the campaign which closed two weeks ago to-day they are now primarily interested in what we are going to do for them, not what political party elected us to office. The people of the City of Lewiston are more interested to know to-day to what avenues of expenditure we propose to turn the city’s moneys, in what way we propose to serve the city. So, I would commend to you, if I may, forgetfulness that a political party elected you to office, that for several weeks you were perhaps active and energetic in perfecting a political organization, and would have you work with me in an in- tellient and conscientious efford to make Lewiston a better * and busier city, recognizing its civic pride and the fact that we are the guardians of the 27,000 souls that lives within its limits. In no other way, can the tax payers secure results for their money. If a few democrats and a few republicans, but a mere handful of the people of this great city, fritter away their opportunities and duties in political squabbles and at cross purposes, the year would have been in vain and not one of us would desen e the esteem and respect of our fellow- citizens. So let us resolve on this inauguration day, to inaugurate a new era in the municipal life of our city, striving ever to do our best, eager to serve our city, and just as eager to stamp down an unrighteous proposition whether it originates in our own political circles or that of an opponent. I am sure that the city council represents the best men in our city and that we all desire to continue the prosperity of the City of Lewiston. There are a few things that I would speak to you about. The appeal to me as worthy objects of your attention and as of benefit to the tax-payers of the City of Lewiston. 4 CITY OF LEWISTON The finances of Lewiston have been the object of con­ siderable attack and speculation. It is my firm intention, and I ask your co-operation in the matter. Certain changes in the method of conducting business, notably the introduction of a requisition system last year, and the natural evolution that comes to any big institutions, cities or corporations make for changes in an old established system. It is very easy sometimes to follow a policy of destruction and disastrous criticism rather than one of construction and painstaking research. I hardly think the services of an ex­ pensive accountant is needed for such a matter. The con­ dition of our city is not such an involved matter that any one of you with any business ability could not step into the teas- urer’s or auditor’s offices and tell within a few hours the condition of the city. I make this as a suggestion for your consideration; instead of employing a firm of accountants who will charge the city from $1500.00 to $2000.00 for their work, that the city govern­ ment authorize two well known Lewiston gentlemen of un­ questioned integrity and skilled in the financial art and let us select one of each party so there will be no question of partner­ ship, and I would suggest for your consideration, Hon. George Pottle and Hon. T. F. Callahan as the two men to examine and report. From my understanding of the situation it is not necessary at all to spend a large sum of money to go over the situation when these two gentlemen can investigate and report to this city, and their report will be accepted by the citizens as the correct condition of our city. The new issue of serial bonds amounting to $200, 000 of which $5000 becomed due every year is a step in the right direction and in accord with a scientific and modern concep­ tion of city business. STREET SEWERS AND WATERWORKS In the great water and street departments that are the source of the very life of our city and by whose growth alone the actual growth of the city can be measured and on whose expansion and amplication, depends the extension of the city, I believe in a careful and warranted extension. Our city spreads out its fingers like the petals of an unfolding flower. A ride on the trolley cars in any direction out of the city show's the enormous strides that have been made in the last few years. These people are children of the city, they are the pioneers of the bigger Lewiston, the busier Lewiston and the 50,000 population Lewiston which I believe is destined to come. They must receive the fullest benefit possible for the money they pay in taxes, not, of course, at the expense of other sections MAYOR’S ADDRESS 5 of the city but as conditions warrant and when careful in­ vestigation demands it. They should have streets, and water works and sewers. The building of permanent streets and sidewalks is an­ other matter upon which I'am sure you will assist me. The meeting of our street problem is a big one and I have great confidence in the Public Works Department to carry on its work intelliently and with the greatest regard for economy and business. Too much importance can not be laid upon the road problem not only in the State of Maine but in the City of Lewiston. I believe one of our greatest and best in­ vestments is the better roads and streets. I believe in the extension of the park system and in beau­ tifying our city as we may and providing breathing places for its busy industry. COAL YARD I want to touch on the municipal proposition. I shall use all of my power to continue to run the yard and will ask the council to appoint a committee of one Alderman and one Councilman to work with me. I have been in conference with Mayor Brann several times this last week and have gone over his exhaustive report on the yard up to date and am convinced of the great value to the citizens of continuing this Municipal coal yard. There are several problems beginning to enter into the yard that must be confronted with calmness and forethought. It has been demonstrated without a doubt that the yard was run according to law and by that I mean at “no financial profit”. The report shows that there was no financial loss, some thing which the enemies of the yard have charged at various times. All over this State, coal yards similiar to ours are starting up. Reading a great Philadelphia newspaper the other day of work that cities were doing, I found our City of Lewiston, heading the list with mention of its municipal coal yard. Portland after investigation of our yard decided to go ahead This is one of the early matters that I would ask your assistance in. SCHOOLS The public school system is one that demands our at­ tention to some degree although we have a school committee.

  • The Story Behind the Garcelon Mansion by David C
    Published quarterly by the Lovell Historical Society Volume 17, Number 4 Fall 2010 The Garcelon Family in front of their home on Kezar Lake. Photo donated by David C. Gareelon The Story Behind the Garcelon Mansion By David C. Garcelon At the north end of Kezar Lake sits a magnificent neoclassical style home known as the "Garcelon Mansion". Built for Charles Augustus Garcelon and his family in 1908 and 1909, the house commands magnificent views ofthe White Mountains and is unequalled in the quality of its design. Constructed by Italian craftsmen, the house features maple floors, hand-carved paneling and an elaborate staircase framed by columns. This is the story ofhow this home came to be built. Charles Garcelon was born in Lewiston on November 14, 1842. He was the son of Dr. Alonzo and Ann Augusta (Waldron) Garce10n and the great-great-grandson ofJames and Deliverance (Annis) Garcelon, who were among the first settlers in 1776 of Lewiston Falls, an Indian garrison on the Androscoggin River. The family's imprint on the area exists to this day. The Garcelons were farmers. They were also very much involved in the development ofLewiston and its sUlTounding area. From the time Charles was born in 1842, until he left for the Civil War in 1862, he was at the center of a family which was not only known for having the finest horses, growing the largest cabbages and having the best orchards, but who also started the Lewiston Falls Journal. The family was instrumental in (continued on pagc 3) .'

  • Show It Or Cover
    SHOW IT OR COVER IT? …which is the way to the dwelling place of light, and 1 where is the abode of darkness… – Job 38:19 FRIDAY OCTOBER One day, I went to Mass, looked at the altar, and smiled. The priest was as bald as my son’s Job 38:1, 12-21; 40:3-5 marbles. Next to him was his sacristan. He, Psalm 139:1-3, 7-8, too, was bald but you won’t notice because 9-10, 13-14ab Luke 10:13-16 he wore a toupee. I whispered to my wife, “In front of you is a vision of my future. What do you want — option A or option B? Option A is show it off in all its glorious splendor. Or option B: cover it up.” She giggled and slapped me. “Shhh! Attend Mass!” But I really was attending Mass. The Eucharist is the center of our faith — but when you think about it, it’s a celebration of the greatest defeat — Jesus hanging dead on a REFLECTION: cross. Our faith doesn’t hide our blackest spot. Are you still trying Instead, it throws a party. to hide something? Life is always a choice between exposing Celebrate it and open yourself to our weakness or covering it up, going into healing. the light or remaining in darkness. And only those who have accepted their own humanness Lord, grant me the can expose it to others.
