ic.Mr.
Mr. O'Koofo nominated Mr. J. J.
L0. . Jowott to bo city cloak for the

n great dual of work in the past year
nnd it was all straight ; it woa very
oroditablo to the judgment of the
old council and his services'would bo
equally valuable to the now.
On motion of Mr. KaulLuan , Mr.
Jowott was elected by acclamation ,
md expressed his ackno ffltdgomonts
n a few words , well chosen.
Th'j mayor was then introduced and

ANNUAL ADDUKSS.
Gentlemen of the Oity Council :
At the end of the first year of ray
official term it becomes my duty to
ransmit to you a statement of the
conditions of the various departments
> f the city governmoni.
FINANCES.
Our financial standing both at homo
ind abroad is one of the very highest
rder. The uffaira of the city are now
> oinj ; managed on a cash basis , and
hero is no reason why the city can
not have work done as economically
ind cheaply as an individual. The
oport of the city treasurer is a very
omprohensivo ono , und givesaconciso
tatetnont of the city's finances , From
hia statement it will bo soon that at
ho end of the year and before but
ittle , if any tax for the year 1881 has
> oen paid , there remains in the hands
of the treasurer * ho sum of $10-1,070-
70. After the first of May this
amount will bo largely increased , and
: would suggest to the council that it
s doairabla that the city aho'uld de
rive some benefit therefrom.
I'rom the clerks report it will bb
seen that while showing a small in
crease in the expenses for salaries of
city ofllcers and other departments ,
the total is far below the amount re
quired by other western cities of ev6n
ess popular. The increase in salaries
s mostly duo to the largo expense of
the engineer s onico , part ot which
should properly have been charged to
the sewer fund.
UTIOATION.
From the report of the city attorney
which is herewith submitted , you will
find that there are thirty-eisht suits
now pending at-ainst the city , many
of which are for personal injuries
Huslainud , and that there were throe
judgments rendered against the oily
duripg the year past , on account of
injury to ponons. Ono in favor of
Miss McGowun for $4,000 , ono in
favor of a young woman or the sum
of § 1OUO and ono for $750 by the
next of kin of Win. Coploy , Jr , , who
was killed on 14th Htreot by reason of
a sidewalk falling upon him. In the
ciso of Miss McGowan the city has in
its possession the sum of $2,089 12
duo Duffy Bros , for grading , which 1
have no doubt c n bo used as part
pa > mcnt of the judgment. Their
bpndsuion are also hold for 8700.
FIllK DKl'AllTMKNT.
The fire department of the city ,
which in times past so justly deserved
the commendation of our citizens , has
sustained its reputation. Mistakes
hiv6 been made , it is true , but per-
hays they were unavoidable. Our
city has been fortunate in escaping the
ravages of fires of uny great maijni.
tudo during the year.
Now that wo have a complete sya
temof water works in succosafulopora.
,1011 , with pressure equal or creator
than our fire engines , the fire depart-
nent will need to bo reorganized. My
own opinion is that the service of two
of the lire engines bo dispensed with
aud that ono bo kept ready and
equipped for constant usu. The sug.
gallon of the chief engineer that a
lose cart bo placed in the southern
wt of the city aud ono iu the west-
m part , meets my approval.
The city is growing with great
rapidity , already covering a largo tor-
ritory , and it is our duty to provide
proper protection to our citizens , All
are in favor of obedience- law nnd
the preservation of order , bnt differ
as to the moftfluro and manner of en
forcement , Some want the laws
enforced strictly to the letter , while
others believe in n liberal hnd conservative
vative construction. Recognizing , as
I do , thnt ccrlain evils have existed
since the beginning and will continue
to exist for all timu to come , I am f red
to cay that I am n firm advocate of
the latter mode , believing that the
only way is to regulate , so that the
laws shall neither bo over-obnoxious
to the individual nor offensive to the
public.
The present police force is inade
quate , and the recommendation of tha
city marshal that the force bo in
creased meets my hearty approval ,
though for the present I think it un
necessary to increase the number to
moro than twenty.
Tito board of health consists , of the
president of the council , the city
marshal and the mayor. The city
physician is secretary of the board.
The health of the city the past year
was uncxceptionally good , and it has
only been since the month of Janu
ary , when the first case of small
pox made its appearance , that the
board was called upon to perform any
duty whatever. Arrangements were
made with the county commissioners
and a suitable building for a post
house was erected on the county farm ,
and all patients that could with safety
bo removed , were sent to the house
at once. Every measure was taken
by the board to prevent the spread of
the disease , and wo huvo great cause
for congratulation in the fact that in
the three months just passed there
has been in nil thirty-one cases , nnd
there is not n single case in the cily at
the present timo.
There are many suggestions in the
report of the city physician that are
worthy of your careful consideration.
ENaiNKKUINO DKPAllTMKNT.
The engineering department has
become of such vast importance that
only the very best talent should bo
employment. The salary paid the
city engineer will not procure procure
the services of a man fully competent
to perform the work that is demanded
of thatolllo. The present city engi
neer claims that ho cannot ulford to
again accept the position. ' unless the
salary in iucrcaecd. In my opinion it
would bo far better for the city to
pay twice or oven thrice the amount
iud employ the most skillful engineer
that could bo obtained. Ono year
ago at the beginning of my oilicial
: crm I urged upon the council the ne
cessity of letting contracts for the
curbing and guttering of all streets
; hat were to bo established grade.
The year passed , and but little has
boon accomplished. The curbing and
guttering on Tenth street is partly
inished , and that on Dodge street
only commenced. I again call the at-
icntion of the council to the great
necessity of this work being done
without delay. It can bo done with
out > coot to the city , the owners of
property paying therefor , and the
treot can therefore bo kept in repair
it mach less oxpenso. I would
ilso suggest the necessity of
tmploying a competent mechanic
o oversee nil work while go
ng on , so as to prevent poor material
rora being used. This work is all bo
ng done under the supervision of the
jity engineer , and as ho cannot always
> e present , material is sometimes used
.hat is wholly unfit , and it is impoasi-
) lo for himto know what kind of ma-
orial is in the work after it is finished.
It is a duty wo ewe the men who do
juainess that the streets in the buai-
less portion of the city should bo put
n good shape atonco. The heavy and
onstantly increasing traffic will admit
t no longer delay. Every dollar at
our command should bo spent on
ho so streets upon which the coin-
lorco of the city is being done. If
ur city charter should bo amended us
greed upon by the board of trade
nd our representatives , I would re
ommend that you lot contracts for
aving first whnro most needed. With
ur present facilities , no matter what
ind of paving you decide upsn , but
ttlo can bo done this year , and for
Ilia reason , if for no other , yon should
euvo selfish considerations entirely
ut of the question , and order the
rork done in the central part of the
ity. Many times during the past
inter our streets were in such a con-
itlon that it was almost impossible
or pooploito pass over thorn in order
o make nccessaty purchases. You
pill have a larger sum of money
his year for general purposes
han heretofore , the valuation will bo
ncrcasod and as the revenue from
nos and licenses will bo about oaough
0 support the public sdhools , you can
ovy the full limit of twelve mills.
HKWKHAUK.
Upon my recommendation the last
jouncil adopted what is known ns the
'Waring" system o. . sewerage. This
) lan of sowurago is being universally
udoptod , not only in this country but
n Europe. I believe it to bo the sya-
torn best adapted to our wants , the
only ono within our power to attain ,
md that will givopur people the bone-
it of aewornao within a reasonable
timo. Under this plan the main
sewer has been builtf torn n point north
of Dodge street south to Jackson
itroot , and thence to a conductor to
iho river. Lateral sewers have boon
built in the alloys between Jack on
andHamoy , Barney and Farnam ,
fcarnnm and Douglas nnd Dodge
streets. The total amount expended
for the main sewer is 810,123.79. In
addition to this there were 81,522 63
paid Messrs. Waring and Bogurt for
[ ) lans and oxponi es , and 82,141,11) )
spent for lo al engineering.
The city engineer reports that the
general demand for sewer connec
tions since the lateral sawora have
boon built is so great that ho would
advise the letting of contracts as
soon as possible for the pipe
and material neccsary to extend the
main sewer as far north as Cuminc
street. In this
I heartily concur , and
1 would fuither recommend tholottinc
) f contracts for all lateral eowera
from Dodge street north to Ouming
street. The ground underlying the
city ; is saturated with foul matter aud
alyiria deposits from cess pools and
> nvy vaults , the sanitary rcquiro-
nimts are constantly increasing and
omand the oxtonsicn of sewerage to
womoto hoalthfulnuss and present ep-
dmmcs. Our people cannot derive
nil benefit from the water supply un-
il aewors are constructed nud the
sing of water for mechanical and
ther purposes and allowing the waste
water to run into the streets , as is the
case in many instances , will keej
them in an impassible condition , The
bonds voted last year will be more
than ample to pay the construction o
all the main cowcra nnd no moro bonds
for this purpose will bo required for
many years ,
In this connection I irish particu
larly to call yout attention to thai
part of the engineer's report that re
fers to the sewers of South Omaha
creek. The storm water off Tenth
street must empty through the catch
basins into the sewer , and it is very
important that the contractors should
complete the work. It seems that
the council , contrary to the advice of
the city engineer , ordered the con
struction of about 3,000 feet of an
open ditch acrots the bottoms from
North Omaha creek to the river , with
numerous cross ditches , to drain the
low lands. The work , in my opinion ,
will bo practically useless , and 1
would suggest that the work bo done
only in accordance with the plan
recommended by the engineer.
WATER W011K3.
There can bo but ono opinion in re
gard to our system of water works ,
and that U that when completed ac
cording to the plans wo will have n
supply of the purest water at reasona
ble rates and with force sufficient in
nearly nil parts of the city to t'ivo
ample protection from firo. The re
port ot the engineer on this subject is '
very full and complete , and I would'
recommend that before the works are
accepted you have every part of them
thoroughly tested , nnd satisfy your
selves that they are constructed in
accordance vrith the terms of the con
tract , nnd if modified in nny respect ,
that such modification does not mili
tate nxninst the best interests of the
city.
THE CITY SCHOOLS.
The public schools of the city are
entirely under the management of the
board of education , and the city Gov
ernment hat but little to do other
than to provide funds for their main
tenance.
_ [ The school buildings nro substan
tial and elegant ; they nro the pride of
our people and represent an invest
ment of $400,000.
The disbursements last year for all
purposes were $91,249 10 Of this
amount ta state contributed § 9-
28114 , From present indications
there will bo collected this year from
fines nnd licenses a sum sufficient to
pay their entire expense.
Fifteen thousand dollars per annum
is required for interest on the out
standing indebtedness , and ten thou
sand dollars is each year placed in the
sinking fund. There was $5,1)88.85 )
spent in the construction of buildings
the pist year , leaving $01,285.25 for
running expenses. As there were but
3,400 in n ttondanco in the public
schools , it cost a fraction over $18 per
per ye'ar to educate each scholar. It
is the intention of the board this year
to erect n now school house at the
corner of Eleventh and Center streets
and also to add four rooms to tha
school house in Hartman's addition.
From the foregoing it will bo seen
that the public schools are being con
ducted on a very munificent , if not to
say'a very extravagant scale , nnd ,
whild I am in favor of liberal appro
priations for educational purposes , '
believing that in our common schools
lie the foundation for tuturo greatness -
'
ness ; I would suggest to the council ,
if wilhin' their province , while having
every1 confidence in the board , that it
might bo well to inquire into the
management. It certainly is ques
tionable to my mind whether the
people of Omaha are in favor of the
expenditure of such n largo sum
annually.
CITY J.IIIUAIIY.
The public library contains over
seven thousand volumes , seven hun
dred of which have been added since
Juno 1st , 1881. It is good hands and is
being managed very satisfactorily.
Thirty-six thousand two hundred
volumes were issued to book borrow
ers during the year , showing the
great good that is being desired from
this institution.
The public records of the city nro
not safe from fire , and something
must bo done before long to provide
for the erection of a fitting building
for a city hall or rent a bettor ono
than the ono now used , The desire
of our citizens ns expressed at the
late election is that Jefferson square
bo leased Lo private parties for the
purpose of erecting tlioreou n market
house as well ns rooms suitable fca
city offices , My understanding is
that as ROOII as the county complete
and occupy their now court house ,
that the ground upon which the court
house standa will revert back to the
city. If this bo so , it might bo best
to rent until such time as poasetsion
uf the property is obtained. This being -
ing a central location , it would bo
much better , in my judgment , for the
city to pay for the erection of n good
building on that ground than to got
cilices on Jefferson square free of
charges , which would ulways bo unpleasant -
pleasant nnd disagreeable , on account
of their connection with a market
house.
CONCLUSION.
Thuro are many other matters of in
terest to which I might call your at-
tentityi. At present 1 have not the
time , but will take pleasure at your
future meetings to lay before you any
thing I deem worthy of your consid
eration ,
In conclusion I desire to say that
you will always have my hearty co
operation in everything pertaining to
the prosperity of the city. While wo
may , and no doubt will , differ upon
certain matters , ns well ns the manner
in which the businoasof the city should
bo managed , we should never forget
that wo are all * interested in its wel
fare and responsible to the people fax
a prudent and economical manage
ment of its affairs.
There is no city in the west that has
brighter prospects in store for it than
Omahai She is without doubt des
tined to be the future great city of the
Missouri valley ; but there are many
things claiming your attention , chief
of which is the impravoment of
street * , BO as to provide business men
with business conveniences , that will
have to be accomplished before aho
attains the point she ore long is so
certain to reach.
Her growth and prosperity depends
in a greit measure upon your action ,
you should foster ana encourage man-
nctorief , honor , protect and defend
loneat labor but discountenance ev-
Hy cndovor to inatp strikes and riots.
Labor and capital must go hand in
hand , Ono is ns necessary as tf
other nnd you should do nothing thai
will unsettle confidence or cause dis
trust and alarm , but on the contrary
do all in your power t > create a feel
ing of safety and security.
