Nays , none. • Mayor' s message Mayor Brooks presented the following message : "It is customary when a new administration takes over the duties of office that the mayor present to the council and through them to their constit- uency a program of the city's needs and submit recommendations for them to consider, and if found proper, to help in carrying them out. Inasmuch as the new administration, with the exception of one councilman, is a continuation of the old, many of the things I have to say are al- ready known to them. I trust they will bear with me , however, as this is an open letter and I hope that every citizen has the opportunity to read it . First I should like to review the work of the important departments. The street department has kept the streets in the best condition in the hist- ory of the city. This is due to better equipment. fewer streets to maintain a street committee that is always on the job and an efficient superintendent and force of men. r . 92 January 4th, 1927, continued. • Mayor' s message The fire department has steadily increased its efficiency. During the past continued year the department has answered 53 * calls with' a loss of $3,794. This gives a per capita loss of 51 cents, whioh is very low, 'compared t9 Otb.e ° cities., Our equipment is Al and the cost of maintenance has been small . The health department reports the city parricularly free from contagious dis- eases the past tow years. Our citizens have been particularly free from' sickness. During the past year there • have been 139 births and 79 deaths. This'may' seem like. a. good many deaths, ' but estimated on a basis of a population of 7,00Q, we are still one of the healthiest cities in the world. • The police department has ' at all times kept our city criminally clean. ' For ' a city of this size we have less crime and fewer criminals than the average. This is partially due to our geographical location and partially due to our efficient police department. ' During the past year our police have donned • uniforms' which add greatly to their efficiency and takes Anacortes out ' of the small town class. The engineering 'department has carried out considerable work, namely, the new highway 'o-onnefting Commercial avenue with the 'State Highway, making an all paved highway to' any 'part of the Pacific ' slope. The paving of Fourth street to. Cap Sante was completed the past summer, an 'important step- in the paving of our city. Probably the most impartant improvement completed is the south side sewer. , Thie gives sewarge connection to nearly half of the buildings in the city. The 'city water department has made an enviable record of service the past t-iw years. Our water supply has been increased aup roximately 50.0,000 ,000 ' gallons per year. A filtration plant capable of filtering 2,000,000 gallons per day installed, a 1,700,000 gallon reservoir completed, besides several hundred feet of new pipe - line. There has been an increase of 21s services, with an increase of $9,760 revenue : There have been 400.meters installed. The department has paid of ; 14,000 principal and $12 ,240.00 interest on the bonded indebtedness of the water department. The finances of the city have been very carefully managed by our finance committee , and I am pleased to find our finan cial condition very satisfactory. • All of the old indebtedness has been paid off . At the present time there are outstanding $153,500 general obligation bonds; 3101,000 of this is to be paid' by the water department and the interest is being taken care of by that depar- tment, All departments have been required to keep within their budget and by so doing, city taxes have been slightly lowered. The 'park board' has continued to keep up our parks in a creditable manner and has made several permanent improvements. Our library continues under the very successful management of Mrs. Ibward, and she tells me that business is improving every month. • Business throughout the city has been good. There are many new homes , approx- imately 100 in the past year. There have been several new industries located • in our city. The citizens generally have shown more aggressiveness and more civic pride, in fact everything the past tow years has shown that we are going ahead. It might be interest to learn that the building permits the past two years reached a total of $293 ,745. There is construction 'now going on, 'which 1 started before the first• of the year for which permits have not yet been ob- taied, totaling $125,000. • it is haw time for New' Year resolutions. Let the resolution of the city • administration be 19To do its part in making Anacortes even a better place, to . live, to keep it clean and moral, to 'carry out the will of the citizens . and always be ready to make this a bigger, better and more prosperous city. There are a few matters that are being carried over to the new council to complete. 1st. The grading and sidewalking of Seventh street. The work is. plannned for and it is the understanding that bids be called for the first meeting of February. 2nd. The financing and making the needed improvements in our water system. ' This is being necessary to allow the pulp mill to increase its capacity. . The city council has already authorized your mayor.and city clerk to enter into a contract with the Fidalgo Pulp Manufacturing Company whereby the city is to give them a mamimum of 1,200,000 gallons of water per day at a rate which favorable to the city. This contract hinges on the result of a special election to be held in the near future to vote $50,000 water revenue bonds. which money will be used to make certain changes in our pipe lines , and a 1 , 000,000 gallon unit added to our filtration plant . The revenue derived • from fthe sale of water to the 'pulp mill will entirely pay off this bond issue , together with the interest over a period of ten years. I trust that each one of you will make an effort to inform the public 4f these facts and answer any questions regarding the same. There are several ordinances which have been in committee , but to date have not come before the council. 'I should like to call your attention to them and ask that action be taken in the near future. L • J 93141 , • January 4th, 1927. Mayor' s message 1st: a new fire ordinance. continued 2nd. A revision of the-traffic ordinance. 3rd A plumbing ordinance . Several years ago the question of opening a street from twenty-ninth and T avenue to thirty-fourth. and V avenue'was attempted. I believe the *question should agin be taken up. This' street is very much needed far fire protection of our industries and would make a Water level road for heavy-traffic along the waterfront. * To make this improvement it will be necessary to acquire some private property. There are several other streets which should be opened and graded. I will mention a few: 18th: and 19th from Commercial to L or.K avenue ; 14th street from 0 -avenue-to M avenue; llth street from M to H avenue ; 13th from L to J; K avenue from 17th to 22nd street; L avenue from 17th to 2gnd; H avenue from 9th to 12th or 13th. Most Of these streets are as well built as the average and should be improved by grading and placing of cement sidewalks . I ;could recommend 'that'a paving district be formed to include 9th street from Commercial to E Avenue; F avenue from 8th to 9th; Hand I avenues from 8th to 9th. K avenue from 7th to 12th; 7th, from K to M; L avenue from 7th to 9th N avenue from 8th to 9th; 0 avenue from 8th to 9th. • Also a district to include Q avenue from 8th to 2nd, and 2nd, 3rd, 4th 5th and 8th from Commercial to Q avenue. These districts may look rather large . however, are there any citizens who live in these district but who expect ., paving, or at least hopes for paving within the next ten years? Inasmuch. as the payment for these improvements are made over a ten year period, why not have the improvement and get the use of it. The past city administrations have been criticized for not building more sidewalks. I should like to call to the attention of the citizens the impossibility of selling bonds on sidewalk districts. One ting that makes these bonds unattractive to bond buyers is the unkempt condition of the property. The apparent lack of civiv pride. I would ask that you who have no sidewalks take steps to build them. Unless you do , it is only a matter of a short time when the post office department will cease to carry mail to your door. One of the serious problems that confronts the city is the garbage situation. For years the collection of garbage has been a troublesome proposition. I/ • The places that needed cleaning up the worst could least afford to pay the collector, in fact many didn' t, and natuarlly that garbage was left. There are now many people, who rather than pay to have their garbage hauled away will throw it into the nearest vacant lot or street. Take it all in all, the private collection of garbage is unsatisfactory. I would suggest that your honorable body study the garbage question with the idea that sooner or later this must be handled by the city and be paid for by taxation. Until this is done we will never have the clean, neat city we would like to see. I should like to call you attention to the present city hall. All ofyou who • have served the city in late years know the conditons. Our city clerk and treasurer have pAractically no space for records. The water department is crowded for room. Both these offices should be.. on the ground floor for the con- venience of the public. At present the engineer has no safe place for records and the data in his office is unreplacable, should a fire damage them. With, proper -- auchitectural design a building to suit the needs of the present business could be built and as future need requires, could be added to . The west end of Causland Park is adapted for .such abuilding. This would be an asset rather than. a liability to the park, would be sightly, give a ground . floor arrangement for the benefit of those who have business at various of- fices, make a safe place for records, etc. , and if at a future time it was thought advisable to change the location the building would be ideal for a community house , or could be put to other uses or purposes. I would recommend that your honorable body give this matter serious thought and consideration, and possibley submit a plan to remedy this condition. This covers in a small way what has been accomplished and what is yet to be done. Let us all work to make our city just a little bigger, better and more prosperous place to live in.
