CYR, Clerk. ci ^ ° l MAYOR’S ADDRESS MARCH 18, 1918 ■Gentlemen of the City Council. I wish to talk to you this morning as a plain man would talk to men, trying to interest you as I know you are willing to be, in the problems that confront us in this municipal year. To-day we should start upon the serious problem of adminis­ tering the business of the City of Lewiston, and we should start seriously, because it is serious business and these are serious times in which we live. We should apply ourselves to the work of the year in a spirit of study and of carefulness, attending to our tasks as business men and citizens, so that when another year shall have passed, those of us who are spared by the will of God to meet in this hall again to turn over the affairs of the city to our successors, shall have no regrets— shall have done all we could, in the best way that we know how, and if there are to be regrets they will be regrets that we have not had greater opportunity to serve the city in which we live. A year ago I stood upon this platform and told my simple message of the day to many of you who I am glad to see trusted with the city’s affairs again. Suffice to say concerning the year past that we hope to have learned from the mistakes, which we have sifted from experience what may be needful to us in the year to come, better to apply ourselves to the debt we owe the city and the people by whose vote of confidence we assemble here this day as guardians of the city’s welfare. There have been many changes since I stood here a year ago to-day. These changes are reaching out and beyond our country into the world, and accompanying them are changed conditions bringing new problems and new opportunities. Gone from our homes are more than 700 young men. Some have! said farewell forever to Lewiston. More will follow in their footsteps, that we may live in peace under our flag. We assemble to be sworn in as servants of a city that speaks for itself, that elects its own trustees, that inspires the young men of Lewiston to join ranks with the young men of our country, that the truths and principles Which Lave made America a land of new hope and ambition of equality and democracy may be maintained, and our country a safe abode for me and for you and for our families. 4 CITY OF LEWISTON Nothing is complete or in accord with the ideals of the country that does not touch upon and recognize the great world war that demands so much of the generation of to-day that the peoples of to-morrow may live. , The burden is not altogether upon the men who go to fight. There is a great burden upon the people at home— upon the people of every loyal and true city in the land, and upon the citizens and the tax-payers of our city of Lewiston. The burden is financial to a great degree, carrying with it sacrifice and self-denial. Those who cannot leave to enroll in service under the flag can at home enroll themselves to help, for it is said that “ he who helps the fighter fight also is a fighter.” RETRENCHMENTS This thought brings me to the theme of my message to-day, to what I consider the most important and command­ ing thought of the day— a retrenchment, a conservation, a sav­ ing. In other words, doing as little in way of expansion and new improvements as public safety and health will permit. I believe that every one of us should lay down to guide us and to influence our every act, our every expenditure of city’s money, a most rigid program of economy. Not economy in name for the sake of appearance and advertisement, but a searching, intelligent economy that recognizes just and profit­ able expenditure for future investment, believing all the while that it is better business to retrench and conserve than to leave someone a problem of re-construction in years to come; not driving a nail, nor wielding a brush, nor lifting a spade, nor running a line, except where common sense directs and prudence dictates. I made it my purpose when America entered this war in the early part of my administration to oppose attempts to merely ornament, or make improvements that could be delayed without injury to the city. We are entering upon the second year of the war, and those of you who have read the papers and are informed upon the questions of the day know the tremendous amount of money that is being required to conduct it. The figures have reached such limits that to the human mind they are almost incomprehensible. The vastness impresses us with the seriousness of the time. And there is more to follow. There are certain phases of the city administration in which we must not slacken. Our service to the people must not halt when it touches upon the public water supply, the sewerage systems, the public health, the' care of unfortunate people, the aid to soldiers’ wives and dependents, the mainte­ nance of our public schools and public charities. The future MAYOR’S ADDRESS 5 is so closely and undeniably linked with the living day that we must not become careless of our obligations to the generation that will take up our lives where we leave off. Soon there will be launched the third liberty loan, and it is our duty to take care that every dollar that can be freed to go into the loan from Lewiston should go. Our paramount duty is to win the war. REDUCE THE TAX RATE We must seek an honorable and business like method of reducing the tax rate. I do not know the exact financial con­ dition of the city. Thru no pleasure of my own this last year, I have not been permitted to participate in arranging and ap­ proving the financial matters that have come before the various committees, but I shall take steps immediately to inquire into the matter of unpaid bills and city obligations. When I, with your assistance, have arrived at a correct statement of where the city stands as regards its financial obligations, then we will know how we are to proceed. If the unpaid bills of the past year are not too great I be­ lieve firmly that the tax rate can be reduced, and that the city can pay its bills on a reduced revenue. There has been an ever- increasing cost of doing business, of living, and of running the city. That must be taken into account; but the greatest care must be exercised in the expenditure of the people’s money. Among the first measures that I will propose to you will be replacing upon the ordinances the requisition system. I believe that the expenditures can be reduced to a low point. No leaks can be too small to be stopped. No item of expense can be too small to be saved. Everything possible consistent with good judgment and public safety that can be postponed this year, should be laid over to normal times. In the matter of appropriations, where of course lies the great responsibility of the municipal year, I believe there is a fine chance to curtail. Large business corporations (the city is the biggest cor­ poration bounded only by its own limits) proceed upon sound business policy.

Up and down the Kennebec Valley: The Grange – Part 1 By Mary Grow The mother and father of all United States agricultural organization is the Grange, formally known as the Order of Patrons of Husbandry. The national Grange was organized in Washington, D. C., on Dec. 2, 1867, by a seven-person group headed by Oliver Hudson Kelley (1826 – 1913), a Bostonian who moved to Minnesota in 1849 to become a farmer. A Grange historian quoted in Ruby Crosby Wiggin’s Albion history wrote that the organization was a response to the “depressed condition” of agriculture after the Civil War. The 1873 financial panic hastened its growth. In 1864, Kelley, working for the national Bureau of Agriculture, inspected post-war farming conditions in the southern states. He realized the need to help farmers earn their living from their land, found like-minded friends and created the Grange.
