The Park Commissioners were not able to complete the Bath House in Ward 2 in season for use during last year, but it is completed now and will be available to the citizens in the summer of 1901.
It was the intention of the Park Commissioners to equip it with suits, laundries, etc., and charge for service, but that plan has been given up, and the bath house will be free, all making use of it to provide their own suits.
It is not my desire to ask for any considerable sum for Merry Mount Park, but I do desire that an appropriation should be made for the improvement of Faxon, Park that the citizens may be able to enjoy this truly delightful section.
At the proper time I shall as !: an appropriation with state- ment of the improvement which it is desirable to make.
The Boulevard under the direction of the Metropolitan Park Commission is being advanced and in connection with our parks and reservations will greatly improve our city.
This Boulevard passes directly in front of the Willard schoolhouse and I believe that we should proceed this year to put an iron fence about that school yard, not only for the im- provement in the looks of the grounds, but also for the protec- tion of the building and the safety of the children who attend the school.

PLUMBING ORDINANCE AND BUILDING INSPECTION.
There is certain to be a great deal of building in the city in the near future and there is an imperative need of building in- spection and an ordinance regulating the building operations, requiring the obtaining of a permit and a penalty for violation.
The ordinance regulating Plumbing in the city should be amended at once as there are many things in it which need cor- recting.
PRECINCTS IN WARD ONE.
Ward 1 should be divided into two voting precincts before
. another election.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
This department continues to increase and requires quite a generous sum to maintain it.
While it is a department which demands a large sum to support it, still the citizens receive a substantial return in the reduced premiums on their insurance, not to speak of the de- rangement and loss to business and to their homes which would result if a large fire should sweep through our city for lack of a good Fire Department.
Under the able management of the present Chief, the fires which occur are intelligently handled and quickly extinguished with a small loss in the majority of cases.
The new Hose house in Ward 5 is nearly completed, and you will doubtless be asked to furnish it and place another piece of apparatus in it in the near future.
I should like to provide helmets for the entire force, and wished to do so last year, but accidents to the apparatus caused quite an outlay in repairs and the money could not be spared.
Improvements in the ventilation and in the toilet accom- modation of engine houses have been made the past year and
26
the comfort and health of the permanent men have been pro- moted.
An Inspector of Wires is demanded in our city, and it seems to me that he should be under the direction of the Chief of this department.
POLICE.
This department requires many things and demands our immediate attention.
During the year I have had many calls for officers which I could not answer satisfactorily for want of men.
The expense of this department like the Fire Department causes much unfavorable comment, and objections to it are constantly made, but for all that it is a necessary department and should receive every encouragement to make it effective.
The officers are men of flesh and blood and your fellow- citizens, and they should receive every good word of commenda- tion that you can give them.
Our accommodations for the Chief and his men are object- ionable in the highest degree, and it is our duty at the earliest day to make some arrangement for the improvement of the of- ficers quarters and for the humane care of prisoners, especially females.
The few officers which we have are scattered over long routes which they can only imperfectly protect, and in case of trouble have no means of getting help or signalling alarm; the need of a signal service and police patrol wagon is manifest and is continually asked for by the citizens.
This demands a station and I am of the opinion that the building on School street can be made very serviceable for these requirements.
SCHOOLS.
No department of municipal administration is causing so much discussion or requires such careful attention as the schools.
.
27
Aiming for the highest education possible for the youth of the land, presided over by men and women of high ideals and broad sympathies who desire the best that these progressive times afford, it is a hard and difficult task to so balance the am- bitions by the financial possibilities that there is almost con- stant friction.
The doubt which is in the mind of many people whether the best lines are being followed in the work of the schools and whether the results are commensurate with the cost, only adds to the difficulties of the situation, and adds to the burden when considering the questions connected with them and providing the needed revenue for their support.
With all the difficulties pertaining to the general subject of school provision, we have the added fact of a very large school population and the matter of providing the money and determ- ining the amount which we need and which we will spend, will require the most harmonious action of all interested when this matter shall come before you for action.
I ask that you will carefully consider the matter without prejudice or bias, and will in a spirit of fairness and friendli- ness come to an amicable decision on which the School Com- mittee can conduct the schools to the satisfaction of the citizens.
As the business of the city shall be presented for our action in the months before us, I ask your confidence and co-operation. I assure you we cannot faithfully serve the citizens who have trusted us unless we are in perfect harmony and with an eye single for the public good.
I earnestly hope that the cordial relations and good feeling of the Council of last year will not only be maintained, but will be increased and that besides being fellow servants working the peoples' will, we shall be friends and brothers bound together by strongest bonds of respect, esteem and love.
