It was stiggostcd that a number of copies of ox-Mayor Cushmg's message bo printed for distribution. Ex-President Lowry stated that ho wns willing to Incur the expense. Mr. Davis thought the matter should bo loft to the discretion of the new council , nnd it wns so left.

The sinking fund has been purposely kept down to n minimum and has been used tem porarily for the redemption of district pav ing nnd curbing bonds in cases where the districts themselves bavo not boon able to ioot tholr obligations promptly. Thcso dis tricts ewe the sinking fund at the present time about $223,000 , which , of course , will bo paid baclc long before there Is any need for it. An additional burden upon the sinking fund has been caused by the Injunction proven ting the city from collnctlng paving and curbing taxes "on streets which surround Hanscom park ; but I nm sure the taxpayers will eu- dorso the policy pursued by the department In thus prevontlnc largo accumulations to n fund , especially whan the money cannot bo used for other immediate purposes. I have made seycrnl ineffectual attempts to buy outstanding bonds before maturity. These holding the regular city bonds will not glvu them up under any condition ; while the aistrlct bonds can bo purchased only nt n prlco that would uot bo prolltablo to cither city or district. In 1890 , I sold $273,000 , twenty year 41 per cent bonds at a premium of fipor cent ; and with proper management , thcro Is no reason why wo should nay a higher rate of Interest on any future issues. In some districts Iho taxpayers have paid the ontlro amount of pav'lng and curbing taxes levied. With this mouoy or as mucn of it as could bo prudently used , I have bought short tlmo bonds amounting to $3,500. As may be scon nbovo , very few bonds wore sold In 1S01 , but during the voars of 1838 , 18S ! ) nnd 1SOO , there were sold , Including long and short time bonds $ ,53430 , upon whlr.h the city received u premium of $117- 890.72. Recent chances " In the method of levying and collecting taxes have operated dlsad- vantajroous'ly to the city. The most serious of these is the provisions authorizing the sale of property for delin quent taxes eighteen months after they be come duo ; nnd the levy of the annual taxes upon the previous year's valuation. Iu thu former case a tempting opportunity Is given the taxpayer to procrastinate ; and In the latter , personal taxes of business linn * , nnd Individuals who have gone out of oxntonco , or have sold their interests , oan never bo col lected. I draw your attention to these defects - focts , with the hope that your honor will urco future administrations to have it changed ns soon us practicable.

To Illustrate this it is only necessary to say that four years aao there were 811 accounts uiion the treasurer's lodger , and now there are nearly 1,500. , This implies that Omaha must soon adopt the sys tem pursued by other largo cities , namely , to bavo a tux collector and a treasurer whoso rospcctlvo departments must bo distinct and responsible to the comptroller.

Itmlimry Artlon J'uliitcil Out SiieKCrttliins us to the Future I'liiln Talk to City Olllcliili. Following is the full text , of the lnttURUr.il mc9iigo of Mayor Ooorgo P. Bomt.i as nit * dressed to the newly organized city council nt the moating lust night : To the Honorable the members of the ( Jlty Council : Ucntlomon In assuming the duties of the chief executive of Omaha , I largely rest the hope foe a successful admin istration on the Rood fooling and cordial ro- lutlon.s which exist between the mayor And city council. It will be my earnest endeavor during the next two years to work In harmony with you for Iho best Interests of the public and to fnllil In the utmoH doarao the wishes and expectations of tlioio who favor boncst municipal government and practical business methods In the administration of the nlTnlrs of the city. I feel sure that In my efforts in this direction I will have your cordial sup port. At n Crltlrul 1'nrloil. \V'o enter upon our duties at an important and somewhat critical period In the history of our city. At no oliior tlmo has Its pros perity and growth bcou moro dependent on thoao in ohnrgo of its municipal affairs. At no other tlmo have the citizens ami tax payers of Omaha been moro solicitous for an houest and economical administration. At no other limo coula they moro fully appreciate hone .t , tui thtu I and otlleifiit service. Lotus not dlsnppoini them , but provo by our record during the next two years that wo nro worthy of the trust and conlldenco reposed in us. us.Wo now have a rare opportunity both to restore conlidonco in Omaha and to give an impetus to private as well as ouulio en terprises which will make Itself plainly mani fest before the close of the present season. ' As the result of voting bonds 'for paving , sowcrnpo aud other Improvements , a largo sum will bo expanded In addition to the amount provided by the general levy and from special assessments. Wo must sea to It that the city secures a full equivalent for the money to bo thus expended. 1'ruinpt I'rullmhmr.v Artlon Nrcessury. It Is also Important that wo should promptly take all preliminary action noeos- sury for the performance of worlt In contem plation during the coming season , in order that such \vorlc can bo advertised and con tracts lot at the earliest time possible. The business of the city should bo conducted with the sumo foresight and on the same business principles as are applied to the successful management of the affairs of other corporations. The streets to bo graded or paved and the so wars to bo con structed can as well bo determined within the next sixty days as six months bonce. This Is much to bo.duslroj not only for the satisfactory completion of proposed Improve ments before tbo close of the summer sea son , but also to furnish early employment to graders , pavers und workincmen , who from necessity are compelled to remain idle a con siderable .portion of the win tor. For the purpose of enabling property owners to determine tbo kind of material desired for paving , the streets to bo paved during the coming season should bo designated without delay and bids secured from con tractors for the several kinds of pavement proposed to bo used. This is duo to the property owner In order to enable him to sat isfactorily designate the material to be used for paving , us ho has the right to do under the charter , aud It would also toad to facili tate the letting of contracts and hasten Ibo llnal completion of such work. VI'Ilnnt , Kiiforcnnicnt of the Laws , It Is not my purpose In this communication to make extended reference to the numerous Hubjects that mlzht with propriety bo re ferred to. In accordance with the provis ions of the charter I will from time to time avail myself of the richt conferred to com municate to you such information and recommend such measures as may tend to the improvement of the finances , police , health , security , ornament , comfort and gen eral prosperity of the city. I shall endeavor also , as required by the charter , to bo active and vigilant in enforcing all laws and ordi nances of the city and to cause all subordi nate onicers to bo dealt with promptly for any neglect or violation of duty. I nm fully determined , to tbo limit of my power , that every department of the city shall bo con ducted honestly and economically and with a view solely to the best interests of thopu bile , Kconomy Without While desiring economy on the part of every ofllcial and department of the city , I am not In favor of conducting the business or improvements of the city on a niggardly basis. I believe , however , that the .services of a number of oftlclals , numerous assistants and unnecessary clerks and inspectors might bo dispensed with. It is n question also worth considering whether some of the present existing departments could not bo consoli dated with others to advantage. It la cer tainly true that the only ovldenco of acilvo service rendered by some of the employes of the city is in the drawing of their pay and salaries , The taxpayer Justly de mands a reform. It is our duty as repre sentatives of the people and taxpayers to see that this is brought about. The private citizen nan economise sn far as household ex penditures and retrenchment of personal expenses are concerned , but ho cannot escape the burden of taxation. Wo should sco to It that this burden is not made unduly heavy. Id-form Xiuutail In Other Hoards , There are certain departments over which wo have no direct control. So fur as the Board of Fire and Police commissioners , the Board of Park commissioners and Board of Education are concerned wo have no direct control , but can only limit In a measure tha amount of taxes to bo levied for their expenditure. It would seem uoslrablo that tu.ro should bo some re trenchment and reduction of expenditures by the several boards referred to. An examination of the appropriation ordinances for the past year will satisfy anvono of the correctness of this statement. Wo can , per haps , in the administration of the affairs directly intrusted to us , sat an oxampla iu economy and cfllclont service that will bo worthy of emulation. So tar as the tire de partment la concerned , it U possible that tbo present force cannot safely bo reduced or the expenditures iu connection with the same bo made loss. Itccommi'iiilii u City Workhouse , It U a question , however , whether the great outlay present made for political pro tection might not bo materially lessoned by the establishment of a city workhouse. The charter expressly provides that , as a part of tun Judgment In all cases before the police Judge the party convicted may bo required to worlc out both the line and costs at such place us may DO provided for that purpose. The ordinances also seem to bo Huniuln.it to require this to ue done. The dltllculty iu carrying Into effect a Judgment of thU chur- acter has boon that no suitable work cr place for doing suoU work has been pro vided. It would seem to mo that this dlftl- culty might bu overcome bv routing a suita ble lot or plecn of ground In the vicinity ot the city jail , mid enclosing tbo dauio with a tight board fence , erecting shads within the enclosure and providing sonlo work for prisoners which would not necessarily coino In competition with honest labor. Tht > Immediate and diroot effect of doing thU would bo to rid the city of n lot of trump * and worthless characters who nro on the outlook for un opportunity for the commission -of crime , and whoso presence in our midst necessitates the maintenance of a largo police force. At the earliest lime posalbio I believe the city should obtain n suitable alto for the construc tion of u permanent wocUhouso bud work- yard for city prisoners. Desires lint Completion of llm City II. ill. Ouo of the mutters which should receive our Immediate attention la the completion of the city halt. For some" reason I ho worlc of Mulshing the interior soonn to bo unnecessarily delayed. 1 do not know us this , delay Is entirely the fault of the contractor. I nm not oven auvlsod nt the pro - out tlmo ropar Jlng the provisions of the con tract. I propose , howuvor , to atoncorofer iho contract to the city attorney with Instructions to ascertain the rights ot tbo city and to ACO If it Is not possible' To coratiol the con * tractor to proceed witll the completion of hu work. At the pronoun time , notwithstanding the fact that thcro nro n Inrso u timber of Idle moclrinlcs In the clty , ° tharo are only three or four nt wo.knbotit tiio'city hall bulKUiig. Thn city Is paying , a largo sum each month as rental for city ofllcos. In addition , n up6lTnUndcnt of the city hull sooinsv to bo regularly drawing his salary. Jn * tlio meantime the city ofilco.1 nro Inconveniently located and the records of thn city lire of necessity In confutlon and will soicontinue until the per manent location of the qfllcos In the now city hall building. Alt of those consideration. ' demand speedy nctlon'aiid that the contrac tor , If responsible , bo hold accountable for the damages refilling from thu present un necessary delay. Condition of tlin Cll.v'x I'hmnrrs. 1 have not yet been able to definitely ascer tain the present financial condition of the treasury ot tbo city or the amount to the crodlt of the general funds created bv the charter. ThU Information can probably bo obtained from the report of iho treasurer which ho is required to submit on the first Tuesday of January and which should show n full and detailed account of all receipts aud expenditures during the preceding lUcal year. It does not follow , even If it balance should stand to the credit of o.ich of said funds that an "overlap" umy not exist. If the liabilities created during the preceding llscal year , which will bo turned over as n legacy to the present administration , exceed the balance on hand for paying such liabilities , an "overlap'1 exists as much as If such fund was actually overdrawn. It Is therefore Important to ascertain and know xvlth accu racy all Inherited liabilities as well as the exact condition of each fund , in order to correctly ilotermino the limit , of expenditures for the coining year. It must bo constantly kept In mind that each and every fund should bo strictly dovotcd to the purpose for which it was cronted and cannot bo borrowed from or in any manner diverted or trans ferred. Will i ; ! limito Current ICxnciisns. In pursuance of the provisions of the charter , I will , on or before February Inoxt , secure from the heads of each department of the city an estimate of the probable cost of such department for the current year and submit the same to tbo council for'your con sideration and action. With the data thus furnished , together with the reports of the ofllclals and sev eral departments of the city , which nro required to bo mndo on or bofo'ro Febru ary 1 , you will bo able to provide lor and regulate the expenditures for the coming year so as to keep within the limit author ized by law. The best interests of the city and the proper management of its affairs requires not only a thorough and accurate knowledge of the details of every de partment but also requires a firmness of purpose to represent the city ind- pendent of all personal considerations. riiilu Talk to thu City Olllclals. Every officer of the city should guard against becoming In an any manner inter ested In any contract with the city. If n member of the city council or other ofllclals of the city wishes an interest in any contract with the city or dcslroi to furnish any ma terial to contractors or , others having diroot business dealings with , the city ho should first resign his office , that ho may lawfully and legitimately doi so. The practice of franchise * ? corporations supplying city ofll clals xvlth street ralivfay passes , free gas , water , cloctrlo lights'and telephones exert a pernicious influence upon our whole sys tem of city government. It is a species of bribing that cannot fall to have a demoralizing effect and creates a well founded impression that these who accept such gifts from franchiscd corporations can readily be > manipulated. I venture to express lioth the hope and con lldenco that no member of the present city council will give occasion for the suspicions and rumors which in the past have so frequently existed aud been circulated. I also venture the , hope that the friendly re lations which now exist between ouch mom- bar of the council and myself will continue to the close of my term of office. Assuring you of rojvporsonal regard , I will at all times bo roadv aud willing to confer with you individually or as an organized body with reference to the welfare and future prosperity ot the city.

County CommliHliinni-s 1'liul thn rieuur.il I'uiiil Hitluic ! H'ulnriily | Siniill. Just now thn countyi r commissioners are in a dcop study , trying to llgura out how to make ono hand wash the other , so to speak. ThU is caused by tha fact that the general fund Is in a depleted condition aud does not contain enough moncv"lp ( run the expenses of the county during thq nqvl thirty days. The county commissioners have Just discovered there 'bat r'JUU'J ' in covered that is $ , sight and it Is still six month * before ono dollar ot the 180J levy is available. Whan the Ib'Jl ' levy was made > the commissioners hud a spas.n of economy und cut the levy 2 tI > mills for general purposes. Notwithstanding the cut In the levy , owing to thu incmno in the number of Judges tbo oxnonses increased some $ . ' 5,000 until now the commissioners find tliomtelvci In n position whuro Douglas -county war rants must bo hawucd about the streets and sold to the highest blddor , The total levy for IS'Jl ' amounted to $103 , * 120. 'Iho statutes provide ! that only 85 par cent ot this amount can bo drawn ngalnst , which left but * lnSUU : nvallauto. Of that amount .155- CTI.I'J has been expended , leaving only $ rJ.ll > ,7U with which to run the county dur ing the next six months. County Tnmurcr Suydor said that It was a deplorable condition of affairs , but that It was Homothlni ; that could not bo helped. There were some llnancleri on l'io ' counlv board who thought the roa'l ' to economy could only he roieuad by ( tutting down tin ) levy without lulling tl eoxp.diturc- ron- slueratlon , TRYING ON THEIR NEW SHOES , Newly Elected Oity Officials AsJnmo the Duties of Their Offices.
