They are leaving this their home Set of 'Uppers' Is Found on Riverfront Anybody lose fnise teeth? 8. L. Moore, former member of the City Council, found a set of uppers and advertises today in the Telegraph. They were found along the riverfront Sunday This Council meets tonight to organize for the task of conducting municipal government for the com- liiB year.

Ill doing so It assumes a srrious responsibility, on the manner of its execution depends the city's tlnanclal soundness, Its consequent development, and the respect and confidence of its citizens. We take In hand a situation practically In the middle of Its development. There are several spsciflc avenues through which this undertaking should be directed. City Planning and Zoning has been adopted and by it, many costly mistakes in development for the future may be averted, Intelligently correlated Improvements may be worked out, property values will be. conserved and enhanced, and the facilities of administration greatly bettered.

It Is a doctrine 1 which, had It been applied in curly days of the development of any city would of necessity have saved many hardships and expenses, and lias resolved itself into a practice for ivhich the cost must bo paid even in absence, and in this absence that Is levied in waste efforts, in duplicated expenditures and in needless loss of property value. Collecting Refuse The collection of refuse and waste materials has been undertaken and will be effective within a few days. 1'his effort Is recognised as a duty In every progressive City of our size, and its value and necessity from a sanitary standpoint arc unquestioned. An intelligent and well conceived program has been set up and by adherence to the principle thus established there should result for our community a betterment worth many times Its cost. Many detrimental spots and conditions may be eliminated and the entire undertaking should stand out, as a decisive forward step.

Local Improvements Our local improvement procedure 3 been placed on a sound basis, self sustaining as it should be, and new safeguards have been set up to prevent projects being placed in jeopardy by faulty methods aiid tactics. The business of local improvements presents a plain problem of values, and the answers to this problem may thus be sought justly and fairly with the thought in mind of eliminating hit and miss methods and returning to the property owner sound value for assessments levied. 7he accounts of these Improvements now are accurately kept so that the funds which for them are placed in trust with the City must be honestly handled. The dominating factor in Local Improvements should be a general appreciation of the fact that the City in its efforts acts entirely as an agent to bring about improvements which are needed, or demanded, and that the City as a Corporation should not, and cannot profit from carrying out of this trust. The department financially is entirely apart from government and this distinction should be preserved.

Naturally there are many problems which appear in this Department which have not a reasonable solution on account of the factors of property vflufi, difficult topography or impossibility of correlation. Many of these problems which appear impossible develop into the stage of belnc merely difficult, and while-it would often times be more comfortable to ignore these necessities, our duty confront these difficulties determinedly, paying perhaps the penalty of the displeasure of those who are not convinced of the value of an effort in order to prevent a greater hardship which may be postponed, Law Enforcement The Police Department has been given order for an increased stringency and attention to law enforcement. Their orders have been given to extend during my entire term of office. To those who are skeptical to the sincerity of this condition there is probably no action which would be completely convincing. Our national government has Indicated a new cooperation particularly with re- spect to the prohibition law, and this policy will have a decided moral effect.

President Hoover has presented the nation In its true light in point- Ing to the duty of our citizenship In observance of law along with requiring its enforcement, for the weakness or strength of any enactment must lie not so much In Its application as In the disposition of the public to violate or to aid and abet violations. On City Finances la regard to finances, a sound and solvent budget and appropriation have been drawn up. There Is every reason to believe that its anticipations will materialize, on which event our solvency as a corporation depends. However, until this materialization has become assured every precaution should be taken against the possibilities of disappointment, and by Judicious expenditure we may hold our City away from the threatening brink of financial chaos Into which many municipalities have allowed themselves to fall. This conservatism is one of the responsibilities which everyone of us assumes when he takes office, knowing that it is much more difficult to deny an expenditure in a demand which Is presented as being reasonable and justifiable but for which no finances can be arranged, Among the needs of the City as an operating corporation there are several very definite items which become apparent.

Within a very short time the necessity for a garbage incinerator will be quite evident. Fire Insurance under-writcrs have already pointed forcibly to the need of a Eire alarm system, and the effectiveness of the Police Department could be tremendously increased by a police alarm system. In addition there are the long standing necessities for street widening and park development. We are in need of street and sewer repair e-ulpment to facilitate the functioning of thse departments. Urges Bond Issue On the face it Is impossible to secure these adjuncts to municipal betterment except by bonding, and a proposition to finance these necessities should be submitted to the voters at the earliest opportune date.

Necessary to our general development are the establishment of a Park District and an intelligent annexation program, the avenues for which have been indicated in the City Plan, which has beeh approved by the Thus as we face a new year with our undertaking very definitely set before us it is reasonable to expect that much can and will, be done for the general advancement of our city and with deep appreciation of the sincerity which has marked the efforts of the douncil in the past I tender to you my earnest effort and thought for the year which is to come.
