At all times the heads of tho various city departments should be vigilant and every worker should understand that in doing his work to the utmost of his ability, he Is contributing to tho efficiency of the cltv government "In your policy the promises contained con-tained In our platform should have a prominent part. Such measures as can be carried out under the provision of our oroscnt charter should be taken tak-en up at once.

The admtnlstrv tlon should canstontly watch over tho (Continued on pti jSeveD:) by the city, the specifications should provide for hours of labor that are not cxhaustlDg, that leave a margin of time for rest and development. Such specifications sboidd alaj pro- v'de for sutflclency of llgbt and ventilation; ven-tilation; they should prohibit child labor and properly protect womaii labor and prevent the Imposition upon workers of degrading cndltlnns " The city ordinances which makes the carrying of concealed weapons uu-lawful, uu-lawful, the may said, should be strictly strict-ly enforced and the practices of bringing bring-ing armed "hirelings" into the city to mingle with a population that i: peace-loving, has cost los3 of Hie and should be stopped. Under the subject of "sound economics," econ-omics," the mayor said: "Proper action looking toward the establishment of a bureau of municipal research should Immediately be takea. An expert should bo called in to advise ad-vise with you on this subject. Tho ' first object of this burenu should bo I to make a municipal survey, to s- cure adequate knowledge and practicable practi-cable plans for city betterment. "Thus a complete cost-keeping sys-. sys-. tern for every municipal department ; should be established, distinct from an accounting system. Such a system sys-tem would enable any one to discover discov-er the losses whenever such existed. "The survey should extend to other subjects. Your action beinj? directed to such, are of immediate Importance and calling for first attention. This will enable you In a short time to place the finance of our city on a snund and sano basis, fix a more near-. near-. ly equitable basis of taxation and arrive ar-rive at tho basic cost units that will be of treat service." He then pointed to the "Incompetency "Incompe-tency with which public work has hc-cn done In the city," and said tht stes Bhould be taken to re-organlze tha 1 board of public works on the bails of "efficiency and competency." j Cleaning of streets curs to prevent Hie spread ox contagious disease was suggested and he urged that the stave railroad commission Ue appealed to to compel the Installation of air-brakes lifting jacka and other apparatus essential es-sential to life saving, and an Increased Increas-ed number of cars during busy hours.

The saloonkeeper who conducts a clean j and respectable place should be pr--I tected. No trickery to entice him lr.-to lr.-to traps should bo condoned. While , tho law prohibits the sale of intoxicating intoxicat-ing drinks to minors, and this law-should law-should be enforced, at the same time it should be made a mlsdomeanor for aoyono to Induce a minor to obtain I liquor under false 'pretenses. "On tho other hand, tbe Issuance of ( a license to sell liquor cannot carry j with It the permission to maintain a I house of Ill-fame, or In any way .- sbel licentiousness. I have been Informed In-formed that In many Instances in which licenses to sell liquor have been refused to keepers of houses of ill-fame, ill-fame, Jntoxlcants are. nevertheless, j dispensed. This Information also ' stales that tho practice prevails In I assignation houses to include In ex-change ex-change for the price of a room a sup-(ply sup-(ply of liquor.
