Whereas,such highW~y has not been built,and the project in ref-

The street Corom! ttee made report as tollows:::
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Grand Is~and,NebraBka.
Gentlemen:
'f we,your Committee, on streets and Alleys,beg leave to
reportc that we have carefuJ-ly examined, and gone over the bids of
the Tyner Construction Company,and R.D.Kingsburyfor the paving of
District NO.20,west Division street.
we also carefully examined the two new petitions in refer-
ence to the materials: to be used on that'Job.
It develop,es tha t thtre are one hundred, and one <1itferent
property holders in that paving District,out of which 14-0 ha.ve pe-
tioned for brick and 60 hawe p,eti tioned for Sheet asphalt.
your Comrlli ttee is of the opinion that~ considering the
climatic conditions ot this part of the Country,it would be a:.
serious mistake to put down aspha:lt. If this matter were left
to the Choice of your Committee,it would decide for brick ,without',
a., dissenting vote . But since the Council has given the property
fwlders in this paving District, the assurance that t:ne Counc:!l
would cho'Se the material selectredby the property holders ,re-
gardless A of the time when SUCh selection would be made; ,we are
in fairness bound to abide by the selec,tion made by the tax
pa.yers in said district,and therefore recommend that t.ile pavement
be a Sheet Asphalt pavement ,laid upon a solid concrete base.
The Coromi t tee further reports tha:t they find the bid of
R.D.Ki~gSbury for $1.59 per square yard,for Natural Lake Sheet
AsphaltVthe lowest and best bid,and tl1refore rec:o:rrunendl, that the
to be
Contract for paving said District No.aO,be let to Mr.Kingsbury,
and that' said R.D.Kingsbury be awarde~ the Contract for the
necessary ourb and gutter in said District1at 4-5 oents per lineal
toot and that the Mayor be instructed to enter into a, Contraot
with Mr.Kingsbury,based,upon the plans and specifications on
file and the bid, just referred to .
we further recommend that the bidder be required to enter
into a Bond. in the sum of $lt5000.00,for the purpose of hOlding
the City harmless from all damages ,and to cover the labor and
material used in sa-id work,and that a: good and sufficient main-
tenanoe bond in the sum of f15.000.00 be req'llired. to cover sad-d Pa~
vement for a period of five years.
Respectfully submitted.

To the 01t y Councll:-
The organizatlon whlch you llaare just perfectedl., wl th
the Mayor,l. entrusted,for the ensulng yeau,w1th the management ot
the aftairs of the Clty ot Grand IsId'l
These affairs tn so tar as the oitizens are primarily
Interested can be dIvlded,lnto two classes:
1. Thosi that deal with the collection and e~enditure
ot publlC money, the management and control ot the city's oommercial
instltutlon~~the care and preservatlon ot the c1ty'& property ot all
kinds and the bu11ding of new and the extension of old public service
properties as:~the needs ot the Oity and the demands ot any part thereot
require.
22. Those that deal w1 th the ent.orcement of the law, the
elimination,in so tar as it is possible or all torms of vlce, the
regulatt10n ot sanItary eondltlcns~ and In1 general those that make tor
&'cleaner and better elty.
The Charter under whlch this 01ty Is operating makes 1t
ineumbent upon the mayor,from time to tIme,to communicate to the
Oouncll such Inrormatlon and make suoh recommendations as tn hIs..
opinlon seem pr oper; and whlle SUCh suggestIons and recommend.&1tIon&)
mIght best take on more aoncreta form when the mayor and couna~l,
at ma1j orl ty or whom are newly aleatect ,hake more tamlllarltsdl
themselves with the needs of the Oity,stIll, in the light or
recent discussion, , the tollow1ng subjects would appeal!" to be ot more
than paesing interestt to the td}>auers and w~rant the attention ot
the eouna1l..
Revenue.
,~
~~.~...-.
..
Conditions have a~1sen within the last yean'wh1oh make the
levying or taxes by this bo<l1 aa <westlon to be treatech with more
than ord1nary c~noern th1s yean. The SChool District ot Grand
ISland with territory praottca~ly co-extens1ve with the City ot
Grand Island and whiCh Lev1es taxes on praot1caaly the same people
and against practically the same property 1s met w1 th & substantIal
~lOSS in tne el1m1n&tion of 1lq~or license money. The C1ty 10lee
the occupalt1on tax levIed, against the same bUiiness.;
This Council made a levy la~t year tor all purposes pt 34-t
mills .The amount levied. tor schoo].:; purposes was 2lJ. millS.UndoU'bt-
3
~
edly tile levy tor so-hooX purposes will be raised this year.. It is
to be hoped that the add1t1ona~ needs of the Oity can be taken care
ot by the revenue acq~ired from addittonal taxable property and
that no ratse in the City's levy will be req1J.1red.
It would not be my suggest10n to save money at the expense ot
the effiCiency or proper management of any department ot the City;
I would mUCh preter that
outset and tha t a Ptl'oper
the requirementa
be roaue.::

the expenditure ot

un-
but reasonable and
1\
~Ub11c money are made
~
-..,
unnecessary demands tor
on all governing bodies and will be made on us; and we can do no
greater service to the 'taxpayers of tl11s Oi ty than to resist such
demands al1d reduce to a;c,minimum unnecessary expend~.ture ot money.
Water and Light Plant.
The City by the e>>pendtture of large SUIllS of money and the
uneelf 1sh a~tent1on ot City Otticiala;and employees WhO ha~e here-
tofore had, the management tlttlreof ,haa~' built up and acquired an electric.:
light and w&ter plant to WhiCh the taxp~yers are very much attache~.
This has been evidenced, by the people 8.tt every opportunity they
have had.! to e:>>:press themselves.It is my wish and I know the wiSh
of each member of the Council that these plants be operated, a&,
economically and. efticiently as: possible tl'lat the net results shown
at the end of the yeaD' will be an additional source of pride to
the taxpayers.
Unquestionably &.la~ge degree ot the success of these plant&
113 attributable to the constant efforts and efficient work of the
present Ollier Engineer ,Mr.Owens-:~who has been connected, wi th thE~Se:::
lnstl tutlons since the installation ot the Light Plant but who
leaves tomorrow to accept a better position.
I consider the 01 ty unfortunate in losing the services; of its
~ Chief Engineer and would ask the entire Council. and espeoially
,.., the Water &ld Light Committee to assist me in selecting a successor
to Mr.OWens.
The modern business man who is successful recomraends as one
of the Chief essentials to a successful business an accurate system
of accounting. The opponent of MUnicipally owne~ pUblic utilitiea
invariably a~tacks the method employed by oities generally in
keeping their accounts. I have no information that the present
method, employedi in the City Waiter and Light office 1s anything bu.t
the best but would recommend to the Con~1ttee hav1ng the matter in,
~
~
~
..,
lJ.
cn,arge that the method of accounting used be investigated aiIld
improved; if possible, that the tax"Pa~ers may at all t1.mes be
adv1sedi as~ to the e>>ls:tlng c:ond1 tion of these plants .,.
Sewers.
It seems to be unanimously agreed that our present sewer
system is inadequate. Several years ago, a.. pleblscl te was; held
on the ques~lon of voting t100,000.00 bonds for the improvement
and extension of the sewer system and the aft: lrmati va prErtZa1ilecl. by
at.. sub,stantlai ma~ority. Plans were secured , the estimate ot Whicll
would require the expenditure of more than .200,000.00.. Our
Charter Ijm1 ts ttle amount of bonds tlB t can be voted tor this
purpose to .100,000.00.
The LegislatUre now has> before it a b111 ,WhiCh I am advised..
had 1ta'orlgin in this Counc11author1~1ng the voting of #200,000.00
bcmds for sewer purposes,and wIlleh reports indicate will be passed.
It~is quite necess~y that the sewer QM6st1on be settle~
before other contempla:lted lmp"rovements are made.> Possibly & leaa
extensive plan would take care of present needs: and not embarrass
future plans.. I have no such plan in mind but would recommend to
the Coramittee on sewers that early action be taken on this question.
streets and Alleys.
In the conduct of the city'S affairs I believe no greater
comfort or enjoyment is procured for all the people than by
ma1lnta1n1ng the streets and alleys in as~ cleanly &1. candi tlon atS
possible" I appre~iate that the d eraands made on the City's Treasury
are at all times excessl.e and that the limited amount ava~la~le for
each form, at endeavor prevents the accompliShing of many things that
are desirable.Howeven, I believe at her forms~ of economy can be made~
with less annoyance and I would recommend to that Council that
retrenerooent be made in other places, if necessary, that clean
streets and alleys be at all times ma~ntalnedl..
Thia City has done considerable paYing in the past tew years..
It 1s ev1dent,that it normal condjt1ons prevail,&great deal more
pawing is to be accomplishem in the next tewcyeara. In the past tte
street
expense or paving all~intersea~ions has been borne, with one
exception, by a"leVjr tor that purpose. ThiS policy has resulted. in,

controling influence:: Tllat if property holders in a, given district
are willing to bear the e~pense of paving the public street betore
their properties , the City Should co-operate to the ex~ent ot paving
lntersect'1ona~,even though a- Donct issue is necessary for tllat purpose.,
We are all interested in the growth and development of Grand
Island. The conunon use of the automobile has oome upon us so
suddenly that I sometimes tear we minimize the part it is playing
in the development of this City.It has made good. Toads leadtng into
the city one of the essentials to our proper growth and I trust tha~;
this Council will co-operate in every reasonable and proper way with
other organlzatlona and bodaes having good roads for one of their
activities.
Law Enforcement$
The people of Nebraska,by anemphatlo~majority have decreed
tha t the manufacture and sale of liquor Should be pr 011. l1:U ted wi th1n:
the state.. The Congress of the Un! teet states has: passect lie law
prOhibiting the Shipment of liquor into states Whlch,11ke NebraSka,
have adopted a prOhibition law. This legislation should effectively
do away with the liquor taaffirr; in aill 1 ts different forma and the
peace officers of this City Should have no excuse tor a .:failure to
enforce the law.
-~
-.,
but
It cannot be den1ed~that to the excessive use of liquor
a,large per cent of crime has been due. Chief among these has been
the socia.l evil WhiCh has flourished, where Imtemperance wa.s most
prevalent. If our prOhib;1 tlon laws are effective the social evil
Should be reduced to a minimum.
public gambling haa long been tabooed. in all enllghtene~
communi ttl.es and will not be tolerated in Grand IalancL.
Any reference to law enforcement calla to tIle pub.llc;6 S
attention the above mentioned; as. those laws willen are IllOSt
frequently violated. This message should be al~ 1s tntended
as a notice to tllose WhO wiSh for: a la:x:> enfor(;ement of the law
that SUCfl will not 'be count,enanceG;. anti tIle peace cff1eers who are
to be ern.ployed Can only retain tllelr poSl t1om~ by enfcTc:ing the lB.l'!
and arrestir~ vlo1&tors the reof.
Under the present method of conducting the affaire of the C1ty
neither the ~or nor any Member of the Council can devote hia
entire time to MUnicipal affairs. It is not contemplaitedL
nor does the pUbll~;expeci it but by each doing ilis full Share the
business of the City can be expeddtlously and properly taken caTe
of w1thout serious incnnvenience to any.
It shall 'be my purpose to work in harmony with the Council in

allowedu be deposited in a different Bank from the onedepos-
its are made of the Light and Water Funds.
. we further recommend tIlat the practice of deducting 10;0
depreciation on the Light Plant and 5% depreciation on tIle
Water plant be discontinued and .55& on Light and 31& deprecia-
tion on Water plant be su'bsti tuted.. we have taken tIle matter

according to their opinion we have not given our !v1unicilJal
