Under thews circumstances I feel we are commencing the new century on a ound financial basis, with all our departments working smoothly and efficiently. But the lessons we have learned during the ,rlo 1 oendlture of our funds demannj still more c-areftl consideration In order that there Khali be no extravagance, unnecessary ex pense or doubtful methods of mklnc monsy from the city treasury The taxpayers of Council Bluffs have borne heavy burdens many years with great patience recaose tney realized tne necessity ot extricating the city from the financial slouch Into which It had fallen. As the liquidation of the city's Indebtedness removes the neces sity for these extraordinary b irdcns they should be lightened. Our object should be to dispense witn an unneeoea taxation, rather than to find new ways of spending its proceeds. Ureal Improv einents eeded. We are confronted with n necessity or extensive special Improvements, sueh as pnvtng, grading, curbing, etc.. and it Is un just to expect these unlexi property own cm are. relieved, wherever possible, from excessive general taxation. Besides this, tbe reputation of our city abroad suffers from an unduly large tax rate. The reduc tion of tax levies to the lowest tolnt con sistent with efficient administration of the city's affairs will be one of the most forcible arguments with prospective settlers and Investors. I recommend that you give this subject special attention when the annual tax levy is made In September. The assessment now being made I am crnfldent will be larger than that upon which our revenues for this year are based and even with 'a reduced tax levy will afford sufficient Income, after this year, to war rant many general and special Improve ments which are nurely needed. In determining the city's financial condi tion we should take Into account. It seems to me. the property of various kinds owned by the city, such as the city hall, jail, patrol house, the four hose houses of the fire de partment, a large amount of personal prop, erty and several hundred acres of city parks. Such property. It Is true, brings no revenue. Nevertheless It represents in vested capital. It is necessary In conduct ing the cl'y's business and would require the outlay of considerable sums of the city did not already possess It. It should there fore be accounted a city asset. AdtUea Sale of l.ota. There btc about 1SS vacant lota aciulrcd by the city under proceedings to protect its liens for special taxes. They have cost the city the amount of unpaid special and gen eral taxes, court costs and other expenses and arq bringing no revenue. I strongly recommend mat immediate steps to laxen to dlsnose of this nronerty to the bent ad vantage. In this way the city can recover at least a considerable portion or its in vestment and the property will at once be come awerseble for city taxes and thus be made a source of revenue. One of the moxt Important matters en gaging thei attention of the city council during the last year was the iiuestlou of special improvement and particularly thn awarding of contractu for paving a number of streets, II linn Pecn apparent for sev eral yearn that the rubbish on many of our streets, ny courtesy caueu pavement, must be replaced with a more permanent and substantial materia!.

This franchise had pr-1oul been embodied In an ordlranec drawn b a representative of the company. It was In troduced, read three times and passed under a u' pension of the rules at one seaston of the council. August I? with only one 'in important amendment. This legislative haste and the unsatisfactory character of some of th pro.islon of the ordinance CflUMHl me to veto it at the next meeting. .September 1. My objections, as stated In J my message to the council, were, in unci, that the lnterets of the dty were not fully protected and. among other things, that the ordinance d'd not state definitely that the plant re,jiired t fumtsh the d-slred erv. Ice would be located In this dty and become a home Institution I was led to l?leve that th electric plant furnishing current to ui noun) be 1'K-atM airos the rter and our rjrrent cabled from an alien city. Thl condition seems about to be realized. Any such action on the part of the eectn. light company should be opposed. The manufac ture of ekctrif current to be paid for by the people of this city should be a Council Bluffs Industry, 'jrnlshlng employment to local labor and paving taxes here. The proposes arrangement wouia aesiroy an direct responsibility to the rtty or. the part 1 of the company manufacturing the electric , curient ana mignt involve embarrassing question of Interstate relation. The council, however, saw fit to pass the ordinance over my objections and when submitted tn the people the franchise was granted by their otn. Although I beliive the oeotile will in time take rav view tit tne matter ano realize mat tney nava on- dowed a corporation with privileges and 1 powers tnat can te useo to tneir jom ina ' detriment I accept their decision as rn-1 elusive and believe e should now make the best of existing conditions.

Declines to He a Party to Klilrnn'k tn Brewery ;irt or Mayor Jennings returned unsigned the ordinance vacating three feet of the side walk of the west side of Scott street for the benefit of the Omaha Brewing asso ciation, which desires to erect a three story building on the site of the old Non pareil structure, recently purchased by It. His reasons for refusing to attach bis sig nature to the measure were given In an accompanying communication, which In part was a follows. Although a motion was passed by the Clty council requesting me to withhold my slgna. lure until (erjaln papers were filed by the parties Interested In the passage of this ordinance tho ordinance Is, In my opinion, so detrimental to the public Interests that I return It unsigned, an otherwise II might become a law by lapse of time. The ducts of the city are dedicated to the use of the public and while the city council may the right to vacate a portion of a street for private purposes, as a matter of public policy I do not deem It advisable. The streets are held In trust by the city for the use and benefit of the pub lie anil for the council to give away imy portion of a street for private purposes would. In my Judgment, establish' a inn) precedent. Although cases have arien where streets crossed railroad yards and depot grounds, that the public Interests were best conserved by cloning or vacating some of them. It Is urged In support of the passage of this ordinance that It would bn no greater dertlment to the public use to have the building projvosod to be erected to cover the estra three feet than It would to have the building bjllt in the property lines and give an area way on tho sidewalk, but there Is very material difference between the two propositions, When permission 1m granted for the use of an areaway that permission and the. right to use tht areaway under men permission Is at all times sebject to revision and reclslon by the city council when the Interests of the public to demand and said area way could In xuch event be closed and the encroachment terminate, but If this ordinance becomes a law it forever prohibits the public to use said three-foot strip, These conditions establish a vast dif ference between the passage of thin ordi nance and the granting of an areaway Again, the granting of urea ways or per mits for private parties to use and monopo. llze any portion of any street r sidewalk should he granted only In extreme and ex traordinary cases. It creates dangerous places Ir 'he sidewalks and is likely ct un and alt tlmea to be the cause of serious damage suits against the city and as a mat- 1 1 II .. f-nr r- 1 .".-li'ged ir n c' the p.-r'e rtxht tn th street and sdewalk. j an-3 suoulo rnx hi f 'inr jn im public of their fre ard i.r trammeled ue.
