McGuire was present, but did not speak due to a recent Illness from which he had hardly recovered. Addresses were made by Mayor Anderson. Commissioner Haws, and Commissioner Walter P. Whitehead, whose term expired as Jesse Haws succeeded him. Miss Francelle Christensen played a marimba solo at the opening of the meeting. Rounds of applause greeted Mayor Anderson as he stood to deliver hls report and to make hls survey of future affairs of the city, a special feature being the announcement brought to him by City Treasurer Almo B. Simmons that Provo City has $95,000 In cash In the bank to start the new year, without any tax anticipation certificates to redeem. A continuation of the same careful financial policy was promised by the mayor. The mayor then read hls report, a copy of which is given elsewhere in this issue of the Utah Valley News. Commissioner Whitehead's remarks were reminiscent of eight years of service to Provo city, and exhibited a must kindly feeling toward his successors, wishing them success, and happiness In their work. Referring to hls departments, Mr. Whitehead pointed with pride to the advances made in recreation, In city parks and cemeteries, and to Improved financial conditions In the city waterworks department. Regrets Salary Paid A feature of bis report which aroused Interest was his statement of salary schedules for the mayor and city commissioners. Less than $5,000 total pay is given to all three men for handling a business Involving more than $10,000,000 and serving nearly 80,000 people. The sum is a mere pittance, and Is far less to any one of the three business would offer for similar sermen than any Whitehead. Mr. vice, suggested Mr. Haws address was one of acknowledgment for responsiou-ltle- s placed upon him. He asked tliat cltlsena be free in offering constructive criticism, as he desired to make Provo a eity to be proud of, so far as it lay in his power to contribute to such an objective. He admired Its beauty, its Industry, and Us Institutions, but regretted the lack of loyalty and pride In Its own products as is sometimes shown In the readiness with which people here seek and buy outside products to the exclusion of home grown fruits, vegetables, and even manufactured goods. Following the ceremonies, crowds of dtiiens remained to shake hands with the newly Installed officers, and to wish them godspeed In their efforts for the coming year.
