Roll call , Ayes , Dwelley, Howe , McCallum, McCracken, Olson and Peters. Nays , none . Motion carried. Farewell remarks by The following farewell remarks were made by Mayor Brooks : • Mayor Brooks "Before retiring from office there are a few statements which I would like to make regarding the progress made in the city during my tenure in office . First , I wish to make plain that I am not looking for any credit , nor do I feel that I am re- sponsible for the progress made . The credit is due to the able assistance rendered by members of the City Council and depart- ment heads , whom I have been fortunate enough to have had during the past six years . "We have taken a swamp and a few miles of rotton pipe lines , which supplied the city with impure , dirty water at the rate of 28,000, 000 gallons per year, and built up a water system whereby we can pump , filter and furnish pure water at the rate of 3 , 500 , - 000 gallons per day. The past year we used over 700, 000,000 gallons of water. Services have increased from 1,000 to 1 , 654. The system has been metered , from 300 meters to 1,650. The in- come has increased from 028 ,000 to over c60,000. Our water in- debtedness has been increased to 0350,000. However, the income has been sufficient to at all times take care of the bonds and interest when due , and with proper management and economy, there has been enough surplus to take care of many improvements , exten- • tions, and replacements of mains . I wish at this time to publicly commend the water superintendent , Mr. Short, for his honesty, economy and untiring effort to make all this possible . The water superintendent naturally is the public officer who gets criticized for everything -- pulp mill rates , etc . but every move has been made with the sanction of the city mayor, council and attorney. "The city has been improved by many blocks of paving. Fourth street to Cap Sante ; Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, tom, N, and K avenues have either part or entirely been paved. The paving from Thirty-sixth to the City limits was comnleted after many months of effort , and although at the time there was much argument , I believe most every one is now satisfied that we have a fine high- way. The City Council has at all times aided the street depart- ment through the purchase of equipment , until now, with truck, graders , tractors and a crusher, the department is able to main • - tain the streets in the best condition of our City' s history. During the past year, Practically every street in the City has been graveled. Three miles of new highway was built to i3urrows Bay and Sunset beach, and has been kept in fine condition. "The fire department has functioned exceptionally well. The de- partment is well trained, and the per capita fire loss is small. "Practically half the City has been sewered with a modern, well constructed sewer. This has lessened the disease hazard in our City a great deal. "The police department under the• chief , Mr. Sellenthin , has won a reputation, not only at home , but over the state . The City has been almost entirely free from serious crime , and nearly so of petit affairs. The City has been kept clear of vagrants , and every suspicious character has had to account for his presence in the community. "Our City parks have been increased both in • acreage and accessi- bility. The park at Sunset beach is now used by hundreds of people annually. Conveniences have been placed there for the people. There is at present a road under construction , which, when finished, will allow the motorist to drive to the top of the hill and have a fine view of the Straits , islands , etc . The park board is to be commended for the time and effort it has used to give the City these recreation grounds . "financially, the City is in an enviable condition. The warrant debt on January 1 , 1916 was 056,220. 64. Sihce that date this has all been paid , plus interest . The present administration finished paying this debt off , having paid 013 , 591. 28 principal , and :) 7 ,815. 70 interest. "The city is on a cash basis in all its departments. Our credit with local and outside banking institutions has been put on a sound basis . "I wish to thank the City attorney and health officer for the able manner in which they have handled their jobs . Last , but not least , I wish to thank Mrs. Watkinson for her untiring effort in keeping the City affairs in such dondition that the state auditors have • always had a word of praise for her work. In past years she has been under paid, and her work increased enormously. I am glad that the. City Council saw fit to increase her salary, beginning January 1 this year. "Once more, in closing , I want to thank all the Council, depart- ment heads, members of all City boards and all City employes , for their loyalty to me during the past six years . I can assure you it has been a pleasure to work with so fine a lot of men and women. If, during this period, I have helped to make the City better, I feel well repaid for the time and effort put forth. " 22 January 2nd, 1929 , continued. Mayor' s remarks A motion was made by Councilman Dwelley, seconded by Howe , that the closing to be spread u,.on remarks made by Mayor Brooks be spread upon the minutes. Motion carried.

Motion was made by Councilman Neely seconded by Olson that the bid of the Anacortes American be accepted. Motion carried. Councilman Burke , as chairman of the Committee on Fire , Water and Light presentdd Report of Committee to the city council a report on the .later Department as follows : on Fire , ater & * Light on water i°Since assuming the councilmanic duties of the City of Anacortes department and having made a careful study of the ',later Department which we have the honor of serving as Gommitteemen , we desire to make the following report: In the performance of the duties imposed tie are especially indebted to Mrs. •.latkinson and Miss Hartman, City Treasurer and City Clerk respectively, without whose cooperation and assistance the task would have been for more difficult. 7e are also indebted to Mr. Short for the assistance rendered by him and cannot commend him too highly for the economy and efficiency of his supervision and operation of the 'later Department. 1e do not wish the figures hereafter presented, or the comments made, to be construed in any way as a reflection upon the Super- intendent , but rather, if any, upon the laws and ordinances of the city. - If the city of Anacortes- is to attain its rightful place in the commercial and industrial life of the Northwest , steps must be • taken at an early date to add very materially to our present water supply. To do so is a problem of engineering and financing, and as the law will not permit cities of the third class to levy a general • tax for the support of a municipally owned utility, we must be pre- pared to fix rates that will enable the utility to pay from its earnings all charges pertaining to the construction , maintenance and operation. This is a problem that will not only require the most careful study on the part of the city council and the commercial and industrial interests , but the wholehearted cooperation of every individual citizen whu has the future welfare of Anacortes at heart . '.Ihile our present situation is not all that we might hope for, having thus far had the lightest rainfall in many years, and being situated as we are in a locality •.:here the average rainfall is , with perhaps one or two exception , less than at any point in the whole Puget Sound county, there is no irrnaediate danger but that we will get through the year without restriction of our present requirements. It may be necessary, however , to add to our pumping facilities. And again Providence may yet intervene in our favor. In presenting the following analysis we are compelled to resert to figures which we know are odious , but necessary, in order to draw comparisons : For the year ending December 31st, 1928 , the water department had a gross income of 066,379.40. This includes operating and non- operating income , together with interest on eposits . The operating • expense , including salaries , maintenance , depreciation and interest on Nbonded indebtedness , was 056 ,266. 35. The amount set up as Lepreciation reserve was 310 ,411.20. We are of the opinion that a higher percentage should be charged against depreciation although we are informed that this is the rate as adviaed by the State. From the above it will seen that the net rain for the year as shown by the records was 310 , 113 .05. The a7nroximate amount of water delivered into the filter was 760 million gallons. This would indicate a loss of 50 million gallons to be accounted for by leakage between filter and the tap and which would include the wash water at filter which, we are advised, is about 130 thousand gallons per day. For the 710 million gallons sold the department • received 3o6,379 .40 , or an average . price of 393 .50 per million gallons The cost of 710 million gallons was 356 ,206.35, an average cost of W9 .25 per million gallons , leaving a profit on operation of 314.25 per million gallons . Of the 710 million gallons for which water department received payment 332 million gallons , or 46%, was taken by a single in- dustry for which the department collected 314,372. 55, amounting to an average price of 343.25 per million gallons , as against an average cost • to the department of 479.25. The remaining 54 was supplied to all others , including domestic , industrial and comr,tercial and amounted to • about 378 million gallons , for , rich the department collected in round figures 352 ,000. 00 , equivalent to an average price of 3137.60 per million gallons . • It may be seen from the above that, while 46% of production is sold for 343 ,25, the remaining 542 are charged 3137 .60 per million gallons . Due consideration however, must be given to the fact that the 378 million gallons were delivered through more than 1600 services while the 332 million gallons were delivered through but one . It would appear to be bad business on the part of the department to dispose of 46% of 228 • February 5, 1929, continued. assigns a right of aay for such track or tracks was presented to the city council and referred to the City Attorney,aad Judiciary Committee . and City -Engineer.

Fire, dater and Light Report of Committee on Fire , 'later and Light to whom was referred the expense . on expense account of account of the ':later Superintendent , as follows , was read, Water Superintendent " It is the opinion of the your Committee that the compensation allowed the '~later Superintendent for use of car in the per- formance of his official duties should be based upon the cost of maintenance , operation and depreciation of a car suitable for the purpose for which it is used. This should be placed on a milage basis , which milage should be confined . to the actual milage travelled in the performance of his duties. Our investigation indicates that this cost would be from four cents per mile up according to the size of car and the amount of the original investment . It is the opinion of your co:amittee that a light cheap car :ou1d answer all the requirements of the situation and that the compensation should be based accordingly. We therefore recommend that an allowance of five cents for each mile travelled in the performance of his officail duties be allowed. The following is taken as a basis for arriving . at our conclusions : One and one half cents for gas One quarter cents for oil and grease One cent for tires and tubes , two cents for interest , maintenance udepreciation. " A motion was made by Councilman Kaune, seconded by Olson that the report be adopted with the exception that the sum for use of car be changed to seven ( 7). cents per mile instead of five (5) cents per mile ; also that the fire depart- ment be authorized to furnish the superintendent with gasoline from the city pump. in the usual manner.
