The Northfork river contains today a

yearling channel cat flali than it did
yesterday afternoon. This is duo to a
visit of Commissioner George L. Carter
to the city this morning with his fish
oar , from which ho drew the little
swimmers and chucked them into the
Northfork waters.
All of the new fish were put in above
the dam , abont in the locality of the
creamery. Now that the seins are
pretty well out of the channel , the
river is to bo filled with something
worth the catching and rare good sport
will be had from now on.

good work. It is probably a-fact that
8. H. Laymanwho is now at the Pacific ,
is ouo of the most reliable and practical
tuners who over came here. Ho is re
sponsible , both morally and financially.
Wo had a little experience with a
strange tuner about two months ago

the condition of the pianos now.

sponsible man to , do your work , so why

Message of Mayor Hazon.
To the Council of the City of Norfolk
Gentlemen : With the erection of
the postofllco building , reconstruction
of the iusauo hospital , the building of a
largo number of residences , and other
improvements , ivnd the establishing of a
free mail delivery system in our city
during the coming year , will undoubt
edly como growth iu population , busi-
UOHS interests and values to real estate ,
and our public sohool , railroad and com
mercial advantages will undoubtedly
Induce many to locate among us and to
establish permanent homos. I feel
then , that your responsibility and niluo
are great to see to it that the oily is
made attractive , the stioots well cared
for and lighted , tho. sidewalks repaired ,
the laws ouforced , our citizens protected
and our guests treated fairly and hon
estly. To thii end I iuviio the coopera
tion of the civio committee and all citi
zens.
I thko this opportunity to submit a
few suggestions and recommendations :
* STKKBT LIOHTINa.
Yon are now paying $03.00 per mouth
for nine are lights. There ore several
propositions before you whereby the
whole oity can bo fuirly well lighted by
adding 10 this bum , $2500 to $1000
monthly. 1 urge upon yqn an early de
cision in this matter.
STUEUTS AND BIOttWAUlB.
In Nebraska the question of drainage
in iho past has not boon considered son-
ously , but wo are up against
it in Noriolk. It has been sug
gested that first , the city should be
surveyed and a system of surface drain
age established by u competent civil
ougiueor , and then ditches dug wheru
needed and thereafter kept open. I
think tliis suggestion a good one. Of
course in the flat low places we must
expect bad streets in the spring time
until such a time as the streets can bo
paved , but their condition can bo im
proved , I think , by a systmatio and
properly cared lor ditching. Onr side
walks generally are in very bad repair.
In many places they should bo con
demned nnd new ones built , I believe
the city should do this where lot owners
refuse or neglect to do so , and that
speedily. I would also recommend the
passage of an ordinance requiring that
all now walks bo constructed of stone ,
cement or brick.
OVERFLOW WATER.
Serious overflow conditions west of
Thirteenth street confront you. I think
those conditions can bo much improved
even without the spending of a great
deal of money. We have had consider
able experience with this in the past ,
nnd experience yon know is the best
teacher. Then I would like to see the
dyke along the Northfork strengthened
and extended further down in order to
keep back water out of the oity. A
cut-oil should also bo , placed at the
mouth of the sewer to keep water from
backing up in-line of high water.
REVISION OF ORDINANCES.
I would recommend that the city
ordinances be revised' ' , compiled
and repnblished in book form. Many
are ignorant of our oity laws and access
to same can only be had from the oity
records at the clerk's ' office.
RE-DISTRICTING OF , WARDS.
Equal representation has been the
aim of the law makers of this country
from the beginning. In recognition of
this just principle the Nebraska legis
lature enacted that "Each city of the
second class shall bo divided into not
less than two nor moro than six wards ,
and each ward shall contain , as nearly
as piaoticable , an equal number of legal
voters. " At our last election in the
First ward 174 votes were cast , in the
Second ward 221 votes , in the Third
ward 255 votes , andin , the Fourth word
110 votes. In order to equalize this in
equality in representation I would sug
gest that the Third ward bo divided
into two wards and that Madison avenue -
nuo bo the dividing line and that the
two south tiers of blocks in the Second
word bo detached therefrom and added
to the Fourth. This would then give
each ward on equal number of votes.
PAVING.
I think the owners of business lots on
Norfolk avenue between the railroad
tracks and the river , with the present
nnd immediate past conditions of our
business thoroughfare not yet forgotten ,
are in a mood to favor paving. I am
informed that the street can bo paved
at a cost of $100 to eaoh 25-foot lot.
It would add many times this
sum to the value of eaoh lot. I
would suggest that the proper committee
or a special committee bo appointed to
take this matter up with the lot owners
immediately. If it is found impossible
to pave , gutters on eaoh side of the
street should bo built nnd kept clean.
ARTESIAN WELL PIPE.
I am informed that the city has over
$2000.00 worth of pipe in the ground
\vhero an attempt several years ngo was
made to put down a flowing well , Also
that the pipe is worth nearly double
what it was at the time it was purchaser
and that there are men who will under
take to and pull this pipe on commis
sion. I would suggest thai this matter
be referred to a committee to investi
gate.
PARK.
Many small towns around Norfolk
have set apart a block or twp of ground ,
easy , of access , and have cared for and
protected same for park , purposes. Npr-
folk greatly needs a place of this kjnd.
One or two blocks planted to trees conld
bo cared for at slight expense and iu a few
years would udd imiqh to the comfort
of our puojUu. I trum tluvt Ways mid
means may bo dovlH.'tl to thlx end ,

cates of indebtedness amounting to
$2,444,02 , which were paid with war
rants drawn on the receipts of last year
