Report of the Mayor


To the Citizens of the City of Rutland :


I submit for your consideration my report for the year end- ing December 31, 1917.


It will be gratifying to every taxpayer to know that the financial condition of the city has never been more satisfactory than at the present time, and that the past year shows the largest reduction of the bonded debt of any year during the quarter of a century that Rutland has been a city. The treas- urer's report shows the reduction to be $72,434.40, made up as follows :


General appropriation to the sinking fund $8,000 00


School bonds Nos. 573 and 574, paid from the gen- eral fund 2,000 00


Water bonds due in 1924, paid from water funds 50,000 00 Net amount earned by the sinking fund 12,434 40


This leaves the net bonded debt only $280,244.99. $97,000 of this is water debt, $66,000 of which is held in the sinking fund. Very few, if any, cities of the size of Rutland can make a better financial showing. While the present administration claims no special credit for the reduction of the water debt because the funds used for the purpose were on hand at the beginning of the year, it is a personal satisfaction to be able to report the retirement of these bonds during the year 1917.


21


CITY OF RUTLAND


I am pleased to state that there is no outstanding tempo- rary indebtedness and that the year closed with $58,925.59 cash in the treasury (exclusive of school funds), $38,862.91 of this amount being in the water account; also that the city received nearly $3,200 00 interest on current funds during the year.


It was necessary to increase the tax rate from $1.80 to $2.00 to meet the state tax of twenty per cent, assessed for war purposes, and a like amount will have to be provided for the year 1918.


I call attention to two statements which will be appended to the city treasurer's report: one showing the grand list and tax rate for each of the past twenty-five years, and the other the expenditures in each account for the same period.


DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.


The unusual amount of work accomplished in this depart- ment during the past year could not have been done without what is practically a gratuitous service by our Commissioner of Public Works, who gave of his time, ability and experience in self-sacrificing devotion to public welfare.


Efficiency has been the watch word of the hour, and I am positive that every hundred cents expended has produced a dollar's worth in return.


Most of the equipment in this department is worn out, and while effort will be made to repair where possible, abso- lute necessity may compel the purchase of at least two pieces of road machinery. I hesitate, however, at this time in making any recommendations that would entail the expenditure of a considerable sum of money. Our policy during the present year will be, as in the past, to meet conditions as they present themselves, having in mind at all times the state of our finances.


22


ANNUAL REPORT


The public welfare has received first consideration when street improvements were contemplated; the natural conse- quence has been that the twenty per cent of the Grand List appropriated by law for highway purposes has given gratify- ing results.


I respectfully refer you to the report of our Commissioner of Public Works for a detailed account of the work of this Department.


DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY.


Fire.


Our Fire Department, while lacking in modern equipment necessary to attain the best results, has nevertheless on more than one occasion proven its efficiency by the service per- formed.


Police.


It is remarkable that a city the size of Rutland could be safe-guarded by such a small police force; this in itself is ample guarantee of the high quality of the work rendered by these men.


The recommendations of the Commissioner of Public Safe- ty are the result of a close association with and a careful study of the needs of both departments, and are worthy of your most earnest consideration.


DEPARTMENT OF CHARITIES AND CORRECTIONS


The successful management of the poor calls for a particular kind of knowledge and capacity. The solution has been found in the appointment by my predecessor of the present Overseer


23


CITY OF RUTLAND


and his worthy wife who have successfully conducted both kinds of work. A closer alliance of all charitable associations with the city's poor department would contribute to clearer knowledge and understanding of the needs of the city's poor, avoiding excessive help for some, perhaps, and little help for others who are worthy. Under the guidance of the Overseer of Poor for the purpose of unity of action greater efficiency will result in achieving the end sought.


HOSPITAL AND LIBRARY.


The Rutland City Hospital and Rutland Free Library are worthy of our every effort; their value has been well proven and their continued maintenance is an absolute necessity.


In conclusion I desire to express my appreciation to the heads of the various departments and thank them and all who assisted me in the performance of my duties during the past year.


Respectfully submitted,


HENRY C. BRISLIN, Mayor.
