The city fathers congratulate the business men, for under taking the project it parking the spaces In front of their buildings, More of this, kind ' Df work should biy done. We wlsht recognize U phenominai building -4ro : li rokldantcg and hiislncM houses. Such progress Is an asset to the city. May this spirit continue In the future. The writer takes this opportunity to suinmonlze In a brief jeport, some of the things which have been ac. complished by the Council and Officers in 1926. ;''- -L: The present admlrislratlon adopted a new system of paying forlhe night watchman's salary,. The ordinance was arranged by the finance commit, tee,." formerly the city paid half his salary, the balance was presumably voluntary contribution, This method . of collection wat unsatisfactory, as . It was impossible to force collection - As a result, the city faced a deficit ia the half which was to be contributed ,by the business interests, This condition con-dition was remedied by;. changing the ordinance', pertaining to licenses, so that the amount nessary to cover the business mens' portion of the night watchman's salary was added to the . tkensea, in. an equitable : and .just manner.This system aisiriDuiea me burden to all who received benefits there from, j -'( ..- As a result of changing the license ordinance : the finance L committee headed by Councilman ftckerson, and aided by Recorder S. A. Kirk, collected collect-ed 11400.00 license money as against 781 in 1925, plus some $300 volun. lary contributions. Such a system is workable and will be in force next year. . ' . .. ;-- ' The streets, department has been following a constructive policy .. In . maintaining and .improving the roads. : Early last spring "when the "Troads were Just beginning to dry, the road committee had them leveled with drag, thus preventing somewhat, the existence of deep ruts thruout the en. tire summer. , Chairraaa Shoeli reports that' many roads were, graded and at a minimum cost The roads graded were as fol lows: ' From Ben Adam's east on the Battle Creek road to David Gour ley's; f from BJWlnter'a ; north.- loL, JB. Carlson s corner, thence west . one block; th road from the city gravel bed on Third Eaat and First North io JThlrd. JEastandThird Northstreet, also the road leading to Grove Creek - from econd East and Fifth North, "east to James H. Walker's. - - -; Graveling was done as far aa pos. aible. The following r streets were gravcleJr" Locust Avenue,- from-the ' corner of Third North east to the roller roll-er milts, from the - corner of Fifth North, and Second East north to the City-limits and-from the corner of Fourth North and Fourth West, west JtQ,tj!rj3 . . By way of permanent Improve. mentv culverts were installed in the Wain ditch, near Martin- Peterson's, one near the High Stho; 1, one in the eld Grove Creek bed at H. M. Niel.j Bon's, and one at the corner of Karl Smith's property. It Is to note Just what can be done with a smalt amount of money. - . . ; J Ho city property has In the pasi often been neglected. This year the city properly, committee began their work by first renovating the Jail, and OTpplyWrwlth a stove Trnd aomr new bedding. A new chemical has teen purchased for the fire depart, mont, thus enabling the firemen to now successfully combat small fires without being dependent upon water. Tlie .re Chief maintains that If they receive the call promptly, that more Urea can be .fought with! these chenu lcals, which are much less destructive destruc-tive to property. assessments amount to $120000, which Kiim will take care of the ays. tLiu for the season of 1927.-. From present indications the debit baladce can be further reduced next year. : In closing, the writer, feels that the City has made definite gains la tbo year 2928, and In behalf of the ttty council wishes to tak thla op. portunlty to thank the citizen ' or their cooperative loyal support, - and extends to all most heartily the sea. son's greetings.

' The waterworks committee of which Councilman JJm is chairman, has been strongly . supported by Niela Fugal and former chairman Fred C Shoell, also the other councllmen; with a view in mind to improving the culinary water system without bond. Ing or borrowing. During the year we have installed newxaat iron pipe in nine city blocks. at an approximate coBt of $5000.00. In addition to this 1000 feet of one inch pipe has been installed to con. nect residences with the system. Twelve new service lines have been put in and metered. The settling tank was cleaned and repaired to pre. vent leakage, of the water we so bad ly need. Last year a heavy anowslide covered up and damaged,; the. 'Blue Creek intake box on the mountain. This waa repaired and la again in use. It is needless to say that such a policy la practicable; "" The water works committee Intends ' to make future improvements In the system next year.- ; At the present time arrangement are being made to give the water owners, of the Irrigation system an opportunity to Incorporate their shares Into an irrigation company. The articles of incorporation will be circulated and water owners given ta pr ivelege of signing them, : POSTMAN GHllISTMAS MA RY GRAHAM BONNER During 1925-26 much has been done to try to interest our people in civic prido. la the Lindon ward the church grounds were cleaned, new walks made, and a new fence built, the church was . papered and painted inside in-side and outside.
