Burr, Whig and Courier Job Office. 1881. MAYOR'S ADDRESS. Gentlemen of the City Council; The voters of our city caU us together this morning for the purpose of clothing us with authority to enter upon our offi­ cial duties as their municipal officers. As your Mayor, it is required of me to be vigilant and ac­ tive in causing the laws and regulations of the city to be executed and enforced, to exercise a general supervision over the conduct of all subordinate officers, and cause any viola­ tion of law, or neglect of duty to be punished, and to be a co-worker with you, in our several duties as members of the city council. The responsibilities incumbent upon us therefore, are diffi­ cult and laborious, and to perform them well and wisely needs our careful and candid consideration. During the past year, our city, through the favor of a Divine Providence, has been unusually free from epidemics, and the general health of the people good. I suggest three methods for the promotion of temperance: First—Principles of temperance should be taught at home and in our schools. Second—The influence of moral suasion. Third—The removal of the temptation. Home and school impressions upon the minds of youth are usually lasting, aud often adhered to through life. Moral suasion is doing its work faithfully, and I trust will be continued until its mission is fulfilled. Our law makers for the present have done their part in helping to remove the temptation. 4 MAYOB'S ADDBESS. [1881. Our taxes are a burden to our people. It becomes us to make every reasonable effort to lighten this burden as much as a wise administration will allow. The improvements we demand in our schools, streets, sew­ ers, water, fire and police are unlimited, and that none of these are perfectly completed is evidenced each year in peti­ tions for extending and enlarging them. I earnestly recommend to your consideration some plan of permanent improvement on our streets, such as your good judgment may dictate, after a thorough investigation. Full reports of our several departments will be placed before you. I invite your attention to portions of each, and quote largely from the report of our treasurer, which must be grat­ ifying to every voter who expects to keep our financial depart­ ment sound, and our standard of credit maintained. From the report of City Treasurer, the following abstract has been made: Abstract of City Treasurer's Account, rendered March 9, 1881. 1880. March 9, Balance of cash on hand, , . $14 490 30 1881.
