To the Council of the Cdty of LaFayette, fod.:

Gentlemen :-The State of IndJana hy Legi·slative en actment in­srtructs th e Mayor of its municip·alitie1s- to report once each year to your honoorable body th e firna.ncial condition of the city, consequently I here­with submit to you a r eport of the differr ent funds of the city, sbawing the amount on hand today with all bills paid as follow s:

Tota l carried over in all fund s .. . .. ..... . .. . .............. $87,19l:L44

The a:bo·ve does not include the contractor•S' and bondholders' funds, which I omit for the reas·on that on them th e oity has no ownership ..

One year ago I r ecommended (!anid1 in which you heartily conC11.11rred) the buying of ground in the vicinity of Wabash avenue for a p.Jay ground for the children of that nei ghbo.rhoo d. Up to this time the Board of Public Works has n·ot been arble to obtain the consent of Ule owner of th e grounds to a p·urchase of the same, wbi'ch you, by ordinance, €'.elect­ed. After a careful coll'sideration of the 'P lans submitted for the beau­tifying of the river front, I am sati s•fi eCL that the consumation of such plans would be too expens~ve and believe we <>hould look to less expen­sive pfans. In thi s connection I would' ·sa.y th at the city bas r ecently obtained from the Government at Washington, D. 0 ., the rio-bt to erect . between th e Mla.in and Btt·own street bridges a stone wall a t low water mark so tha.t all obstacles so far as th e Washlington Government is concernecl. is removed . I fu•rtJhe1· requ est your ad·vice in the way oI ·beautifying th e river front .

Out of th e General fundl comes aill expenses for running the City Government, the others are special funds and can only be used for th e purposes levi ed.

During the year 1910, th e city paid $10,000.00 to complete the. Cen­tral F'ire Station, purchased a Motor Oy1ole for tbe Police Department at a cost of $225.·00 and built a n ew barn on th e city lot CO'srting $600.0-0. A tota.1 of $15,554.24 for unusual expenditures for the year 1910r.

sassed and oolliect ed, that of George P. Haywood, executor od' Anna. .·1:· M•ax, deceased, in the sum of $223.06, and th at o~ Thomas B. Gullefe.1, in the srum olf $123.12, have been 1adjusted and paid.

No fran chises have been grantedl ·during. th e year. Tlle pen.al O•rdin­ances olf the Clity ihave •been we·U 01bsffi"ved, alS a •1'1Ule, a.nd it has be u founcJI neces•sary to p1·01s•eot1te for 'blurt two violations.

Nmrly three year s ago the Oity olf '1iafayette took .the l e·~d in .a n ffort to ·p~·ote<:t prop.m·t y inte•rests from damag.e an:d dhiildren f rom m­

~uries resulting from the use od' fire craci{·ers a111d otbrer e!X1P1losi ves. The !xamp•le thus set has been followed by ma.ny cities since, aud the 1 e­sults ai·e extremely g·ratifyjng. In the enfor ement olf t;he loc·al ord1n­ance I belie-ve that the greatest effo1·t should be made to enrorce ~b at proviSliou wlhj'<;;h! forlbdds tJhie sale orf 1such arti~l·es•, 1~a1t~er t~an agam st t he userlS olf them. Very naturally, the d.ea~err· is th e pnme offender , and he is more readii.ly 1·eached becia;use he i.s less numerous. A furthm· rea­son for p1lrucing the •gireatm· rnsponsibUity upon th e cleaJ.er is in the facl that tJhe users of these rairtioles aJ'e mos tly chdldreu, mos1t or whom hav e not yet reached! the 1aJge olf rdliscrert:.ion and who a l"e n ot qu1alifiedl to jt~d.ge as to what is for their own good. As a rule, the merchants of Lafayette have been ready and willing to w-01pe11a1t e with the cit y officials in the enforcement orf thd·s ordinance, and clu11ing the fir st year orf 1tis o•p1ffi·ation the au1th-0irities, in order to permit .d•eale'l'S to di1svose orf s.toclrn of goods on handl at the time olf its enactment, were lenient, permitting them to seU in cruses w'h~·e too ai·ticles weil'e not to be used w1itbiu th ciity. Some of these merchants bla1Ve had susrp•iciioUtsly lai·ge stocl~s of goods on hand\ a s tbre san1e plea wrus urged again Jas.t y·eaJ'. lt :seems to me that all the me•rcbiants of Lafayette have had ample time to dispose of any reasonaibJte amorunt of fire works, and tha.t bereiafter tJhie selle[" oil'. a.11 such article•s as are by thi's m·diniance forbidd en to ·be sold in L,afayette should be deemedl the real offender and prnseciuted to the rullest extent. The freedom rfrom fu•es, aind the con:s·equent s•aivdn,g orE p1roiperty , in all Cli·ties where the sale od' fire woirks is forbidden is most encouraging and! i.s it

strong arg.ument in fa.vo.r of the enforcement oil'. al l •such ord1in1a111ces. Brut a still more fo1rctblle rul"gumeint in favo1· orf t'b e orid1nance is th a.t th e cbii1l­dren olf the community should be protected from th e acts of aduJt men wbio'.le aivaJiiOO and cupiid1ty ax·e :so gr eat th'a1t they a re will!lng to make orutlaws olf themsel'ves for the sake orf the piro·fi t they may make out of the poonies tib1e~ can coax from babes.

S.o faJ· as II am a1ware, tlheire are no judg1Illents 01uts tanding against the Oilty of Lalf1ayette•, andr none in it•s ~avor.

FIRJJJ DEIP ARTMENT.

'I!he Central House was firuisbed d~Lring the last summer and the chemical ap1para tus from number two .and ladder trlllck from number one moved into it, we regret very much tb e cha nge of heart on the consolJ·­dation of number one and two in the Central Ho1U·s·e. We wi1S1h to call your attention to true ±'act that the busiue1s1:> PO•I"tlion o!f th e city ds as roo-rly prntootecl as ever oiwing to the lac k oal eqwipment rat th e Central House. We tru st that you will reconside r this ma.tter, we have been >ery fort unate dn ·the past , and we have the right to· expect t110 same in the futu1re?

very un SlalIJlitm·y as tJhe fine d·ust ns not removed andi fo:i a isom·c·e od' nuis­ance and great damage to stocks of merchandise, we suggest a chang~ from the present wh it e wings to the s lu•s1hing wagons•.

Durin•g the 11a1Srt summer vve tried sh1shing the streets with hose, bt1t found it ery ·s•low ancl e·xpensive and' very wastefu l of water. •With a s luSbing wia1gon 600 gall on wn1ll cleiau aibo'ut 750• f et of st1·eet and clean. dt perfectly.

'.f1he collection 01~ garbage the ·past yie•M' has been ve•ry S1L1ccessiful. We had a f'ew coimp1laints, which, upon inveSltiga.tion, p•roved to be ea.sdly remeidtied. The :fiurnace ha1s been thoro•ughly overhaiuled and too •build­ing gi.ven needed repadrs. \l\Te would agaJn recommend fo~· yo·m· con­s1cl'eration the collection of ashes on same p•lan as g·&rbage is coUected and tbereiby do away witbi th e unsightly pHe of ashes in ba k yaaid1s. It cou·lclJ be done by this detmrtment ia rt a moderate cost, a re r-eason fo·r again ca;l1!Iingi your attention to thi•SI matter, is the tlact tha.t the city, through its s t reet de partment 'hauls the greater paJ·t Otf it anyhow and it interfru·es very m&terilailly wdth the spring cleaning of su eets antl all eys as 1111any people do not get it o•ut un.Lll the clean1i1ng ga.!lJg hrus passed an.di it i•s nec1es1>1ary to go oveT much o·f the ground the second time.

IN1S1PECTORJ OF SCALES., WiE:IGHTS AND MIE:A.SURES.

In vie•w of the Riiver front imprm1ement the Horur'Cll has made S'atis-11actory iaaTangemeint for t:Jb.e removal of city scailes to a plot of .gi·ouncl betwee1J1 Co<h1mbia and Maju streets, Te1J1ness•ee and• Wa.ter streets. A new buil'd•ing has been ere tecl wtith a large and comfOQtabile office fo.r city s•ea,Jm· od' welig1h1ts and measiures. It will be uece1ss,a~·y to do a. little grading a.nd levelling a1s soon ais weather wi ll p•ermit to finish this, and it w rn b'e an lideaJ hay market.

BA!rtK DELPART~NT.

T:he attendaaice at Columbian P•ark the vast season wai the largest in the bLSrtolf'y o:f' iJhe park. The couc· rts by the :fa1 1l band of twenty pieces were attend'ed! by crowds thlat p1·ovecl the money for concerts was well s:peint.

The swimmdng, pool, th.oug'.h 1bui'lt in 190·6, d!rew crowds rn.rg•er than ever . It i1s the intention of th e Boiru·d to o•pe:rate tilt uncle[· the same rules as befo1·e, rese·rving 'l' ue day and Fridra'Y afternoons for ladies' da.y.

The Zoo dep.artment is growing n.icely, three more pHs h&ve been added to the be1at IJ•its ma1k•ing five pits in all. The y01nd in front of the bear 1plits have been ein•]arr·ged five feet.

A new monkey house twe•nty feet square and twelve feet high was erected! ancl a paliir 01C Ba'boous piut in. The Badg1ru· pen , Prairie clog pen and Armadill1a pen have been improved witlh modern an.cl ornamental roofs. The aillimals and fowl•s are in fine condntion.

The Zoo J;JaJrt od' the pru·k is in much need od' ·a wintet· house for ani­ma!1s and fowls that cannot •Sta111c1 this climate du rdng the winter. The means at the disposal olf the Board wou·lldi not pe1rmdt od' taking U'P· t'h1is
