Certain oonditions, the details of whioh we need not mention, have moved us to this oonolusion, Howevor, we shall state that we have been in- formed that some members of the Commission desire other attorneys, and other members ooneider the fee named by us as somewhat exorbitant. In view of this, we believe it is for the best interest of the City, and certainly more pleasant to us, that we withdraw from these oases, We have arrived at this oonolusion after mature deliberation, and the determination herein expressed is unalterable.

During the past holidays this department has been steadily ah the job; it has not only taken care of all matters necessary in the best way, but we believe that the good j•idgment and the earnest attention of all the members of this important branch of our government to things within their jurisdiction has greatly tended toward the minimum of dis- turbanes and breaches of the law during the time since our last report. This department is in good working order. Thcre are no other specific mr.tters which I think worth mentioning now. However, I beg your indulgence with a few comments on the past years service, and for specific matters as to this, I refer to my various monthly reports, which contain data and figures on the subjects therein dealt with• I feel that the city of Denton owes to you gentlemen anf to each of you their hearty thanks for your service rendered during the past year. I know that all the beads { of departmehte have enjoyed serving under you. I offer you I the united thanks of them. le are about to pass into another year; we are about to put Another year behind us. T+very day brings us the real- ization that we are passing: thro times not experienced by any of ue before. We know that we have adjusted oureel•,e8 to conditions hitherto unknown to us; we roali8e that wE, must continue to do so for sometime in she future. This applies to city affairs no well as to our personal matters. Taking stook of the past, we feel that we have' done as much as we could reasonably do with the funds at hand and the circumstances attending. Turning ourselves to the future 3. we are eomnelled to egnelude that some of our expectations for the future are not goin to be realized. This, tho, on account of conditions over which we and none of us have any control. Regardless of our inclinations, and our fervent desires we feel that vie cannot, under present circumstances and under the existing order of things, inaugurate some of the new enterprises which we had hopon to. "re are going to accomplish the most for the very least; having regard. to the most people and the most urgent needs. there are many things absolutely necessary to be done, in a city and in city matters. These we are going to do. There are other things which we would prefer to do rather than not to do, but which, on account of abnormal conditions, we must at present refrain fron doing. The City of Denton gladly takes its place among all the other bodies of people in this country, which are desirous of oo-operating actively in every way in the present great emergency. We place ourselves at the bidding of our country. 3o far as the National Administration desires anything done by us, and so long as we are called on, as a city, to do or forbear to do, anything, we are going to meet those requests to the letter. If there are any sao- rifioes neoessary to be made, in it municipal way, vi'iioh our oountry would profit by, we are going to make them. I believe that we should look to the future year, and its plans with these things in mind, and with a proper sense of their great importance. These sentiments do r firmly entertain, and with these feelings, gentlemen of the Commission, I approach the coming years It has been a souros of the very greatest satisfaction to me to know that I could come to you gentlemen, and to any of you, and ask and receive your whole hearted aesisten oe in sty matter that pertained to our city, or its affairs. I wish you to know that r einoerely appreoiate this--I am earnestly thankful for this harminious relation i 4. Your aorvino Imu boon ono wit?scout (A)INPrr+n!ition rrA tiny.

On this street we have built two boxes, concrete, we have paved two blocks down North Locust street, beginning at the public square. We have done some grading on South Looust street and' East Hickory street. zffe have played one block on South elm street. Also, we have played two blocks on West Sycamore street, I, Your teams are being used to haul dirt to the public square, for which the county pays us at the rate of forty dents per load. This was not undertaken as a business proposition in and of itself, but this is being done in conjunction with the cleaning of ditches and moving dirt , { from ditches that we are cleaning. 8c that while we are cleaning the ditches, and removing dirt from them, we are,;, _r at the same time, and with very little more energy, placing this dirt at the above figt:le. N In regard to resurfaoubg and repaving the square, we are going to abandon that for the present, owing,, to the laot that the kind and$ character of work that we are going to do it cannot be properly done in the wintertime, because of the inability to use the oil necessary, and because the oil j I cm not be used in a proper manner, getting the results that we want. We are going to do this at a futurA date, when climatic conditions justify. `i LIGHT AND 'vATER DEPARTIAMIT. SEnoe our last report, we have laid 800 feet of 4 inch main, connecting North Locust and Bolivar streets. We have laid 800 feet on Stroud street, East of the College of Industrial Arts, to the oorner -of the MoCullar i' estate. We have laid 360 of 2 inch pipe on Frame street to the South of Prof. Beaty's. We have also laid 350 feet ?9est of Frame street. We have laid 1200 feet of 6 inch to replace 4 inch on the C. I. A. Campuse Is have laid 525 feet for service, connecting Market square. We have 800 feet of 4 inch to replace 2 inch, on Frame street, starting at the corner of MeOullar property and extending South--about completed. We have strung a new line of electric xxt wire on Carrier street. Other minor jobs have been done in dif- ferent parts of town. Since our last report, we have cleaned out the cistern at the plant, which has not been oleaned in two years, and removed therefrom 6 feet of aooumulated sand. 3 We have on hand at the plant, 6WoarjL of lignite and oars of slaok, and-446voer of oil.

RECOT,UTNDATI02TS AND REMARYS. I believe that we would be justified in having en r additional nightwatohman or night man. I have come to this i + conclusion after conferences with representative citizens :x and with reflection over the abnormal conditions that this 1 country is in now. i think that the outlay would be ~ entirely justified. The hazards and risks to property, z not to say to life, at this critical period of our time k warrants every precaution. I think that the citizens vy our city are entitled to have this added protection. I feel ~t really not necessary to enumerate reasons. Since my last report we have remodeled the office at the City Hall *in order to y get a little better facilities for working and a little more convenience. It has added to the looks of things, too. To have secured an option from Mr. Gus Faerber on 41 acres of land lying just South of &nd adjoining the present City Cemetery. This, in acoordanoe with the instructions of f this,body at its last meeting# ta?+ The Oity Attorney and myself made a trip tp Oklahoma to took into the gas supply situation, and our findings C %rere made upon our return, in a separat6 which we addressed to this body, and which we knew to be of interest to the general oitisenship, which caused its making thAn4 This trip was thought to be proper, and had the approval of members of this commission, and we have not regretted that we found the information that we got there, with refenoe to our gas supply.

STATE OF TEXAS " DENTON COUNTY CITY OF DENTON TO THE HONORABLE CITY CO]VISSION OF THE DITY OF DENTOH, TEXAS---GENTLEMEN: Herewith I beg to make this, my monthly report for the month of October A. D. 1917, covering that period of time between the 25tho day of September and the 23rds day e. October A. D. 1917, to-wit; STREETS: The greater part of the time of the street force has boon used in working on the Square. However, South Elm street to Mulberry and North Elm street as far as MoXinney street have ,k been paved. Oakland Avenue has been graded. Considarable ititoh wort- has been done on Sc,^.:th Locust street. Grading has also been done on the following streets To have built two foot bridges on South Elm street-..that is, bridges for pedeetrldnn. 100 feet of concrete zap street has been built on "arnard street, the width being 14 feet. This being a very 'wadly needed piece of work. One street crossing has been put inb iostruoti one She have carried out the tagPmt**rs of the Commission in cleaning ksk+mt around the Court House square, and also having weeds removed from the sidewalks on East Hickory street. WATER-10RX3 DEPARTMENT: ire are working on the water line on Tiorth Locust street and now are as far as the Emmet Lipsoomb nlaoe, being a distance of feet since my last report. ',Yo liave laid d~ to.4.leet on Oakland Avenue, beir.p on the North end of said Avenue i~ to connect wlth~the line that was already there. Some im;rovements have boen made around the plant, which have been needed for some timed The +r'aste-water from t',a boilers and the steam from the engines has been turned into a surer pipe instead out into the street and gutter as heretofore,- which is believed to be a very great improvement, from many C standpoints. 1 HEALTH JUID SANITATION: This department has the ueual report to make; nothing new being worthy of detai'_ed mention. The Health officer order shows that the sanitary conditions are in good nax mut, and I I may state that the Beptio tank is in good working condition. Under out ordinance recently passed in regard to connections with the sewer--many are connecting and others announce that they will as soon as financial arrangements can be made. i j POLIOE DSPARTMENT: I believe that this department handled. the crowd and the C people that were in our city for the Agricultural Fair and associated amusements as well as any set of officers could 44 have One. During that week, I am glad to state, there was a minimum of violations and the very least of trouble that could have been expected, LMAL DEPARTUNIT: °a On the recommendation and at the solicitation of the Ohief and members of the Dire department, the City Attorney has prepared m ordinance designed to minimize fire hazards, so far as burning grass and weede is concerned. This is reo- oavnendaA for immediate passage. GENERAL MARKS AND RM OldMIDATIONS: I oonsider it worth your time and attention to mention oonditions at the water worke. It is a foregone conclusion that we are going to have to increase or add to our present facilities theret our present machinery is not only overloaded, but is carrying a gradually increasing overload. A few Jaye ago a little breakdown oeourred, and this is a reminder that we are 1 in danger, almost any time, of having serious trouble. Likewise, I beg to oall your attention ti on-" fire depart. men+. and to its serious handicap in facilitiee. Our team is practically worth nothing as far as an asset in fighting fire# our fire hazards are greater now than ever before in the history of our city, in my judgment. Present conditions, on refleotionj f~ f Justify the statement Ji,st made. Fires may occur at any moment al of the greatest consequence; and this, either of intentioU„or accidental origin. Particularly should ,7A consider the state of our country; the fire hazard that each and every city is surrounded with at this time; the far-reaching effect of a fire of inoendiary origin on account of the place of svah fires, can and will be readily appreciated. I do not desire to appear a as underrating our present fire-department, as a matter of effectiveness. On the contrary we all know of its very high efficiency, with its limited paraphrenalia. Its personnel is not higher anywhere in Texas. But, its limitatione(so far ae its plant and its facilities are oonoernedt is what I feel myself called on to mention. In my judgment we can make no better investment than a proper investment enlarging our present fire department, in tho matter of fire apparatus and fire- lighting material. I beg to state that all departments and all employes E6re irsfcsa giving their earnest time and attention to their , respective duties, and, so far as I know, the service of each and all of them is satisfactory.

Detailed report, with items and exact costs, will follow shortly, as same are not now so that we can make such detailed report, owing to outstanding bills, etc. The street leading from East Hickory street to East Oak street, just East of the Laundry, has been re-paved. V7e will have cost on this a little later. 7e habe built one concrete box and one concrete crossing on East Oak street. We haVe nut in 106 feet of gutter on ;lest Hickory street. Vine street has been graded, as well as Frame and r.iyrtle streets. North Elm street has been graded. 11 10 unto street and Oakland avenu~ ,$,piao.~j eenoraded.. A l'Jttl street known as C. I. A. street has also been graded. We opened up Carrier street from Henn avenue to Sawyer avanue, and graded it. We also inaugurated a weed cutting campaign and aut the weeds in many places, Several minor repair jobs have been done, in one 1Sgoe and another, nov speolally worthy of In extended mention. DEPARTIMIT OF HEALTH bring under this department a report of seaierr;e matter as well. There has been laid 1640 Peet on Alide street ant Congress avenue. 1715 on 'Teel Congress and Ponder avenues. I consider the Septic tank in first class condition. nothing new toc report thereabout. The Health officer and I have -paid a visi*a to the Cit,7 Dtml)inC ground and we find it to be in first class condit'.on, I do not believe it could be in better shape, for a dumpin, !Srounde That official and myself have also loomed over the city, in a general as well as in a special gray, regarding sanitary and health conditions, and I belietvo that our city is to rood shape as re,,ards this important item. There are a few places Vnieh do not exactly come up to the kt*r mark that we wish for, but vve are taking steps looking to a correction thereof. City Seoretery's Department The tax rolls have been completed; valuations for this year are , P U as compared to (t G~ n - for last year, which shows an increase of c) n zap A block map has been made, for the benefit of assessing; being a part of the city that has not heretofore been blocked or mapped off. Routine matters, of course, largely shake up the work of this depart- ment, and as to these there is nothing, to report except a strict complilnoe with all necessary matters and prompt attention to all things. 1URSHAL' S DEPARTl2EN This department has carried out the instru.otions of the commission regarding the dummy policem n on the square, and these ir,;provements have greatly aided in the handling of traffic. It is believdd that the public aop- reoiate the efforts being made to insure safety in traffic conditions, and we have the hearty co-operation of almost the entire citizenship. General violations of law, in this 0.ty such as come under out ~urisdiotion, are(I am glad to say) Ereatly on th~ decrease, 3'y report will so show. I beg to report that it is my belief that this department is doing its very bust to suppress all things which should not exist. That ifs, they are earnestly en- deavoring to maintain a clean otty, and ono which w bollove t we ^.re enti `.led to, i.n vl.e-.+. e3aeci tI1;.', of tI,C fact that this citl is a school city, and tiv.s :?epartment is paying; specie). attention to this matter.

ELECTRIC DEPARMIE=1T 1UTTERS ,7e have been doing some extensions mnv~ street to the Terrell ?ioCornick place. 7e have placed seven street lights from the publio'square out to the C.I.A. There has also been placed four extra street lights near the Normal college, in r,..ost needed places. These needed extra lights will improve conditions at these places. LEGAL DEPARTIANIT. Under this department I will mention the disposition of the oases against the city. These cases ware continued by the plaintiff's until the next regular terra of the District Court. I do not deem it necessary or propitious to further mention this matter. There have not been sn; necessities for any new ordinances, and the City Attorney has not been requested to preparo any such. Preparation for collection of the street assessments has been made, and the City Attorney and City Secretary have prepared and gotten in shape, proper forms and certificates for this matter • The roof at the Ofty Hall has been repaired and re- painted, which was oertainly very much needed. Other minor and general repairs have been made around the Hall. I:1..l s I could make many su,~gestions -which I believe would be well to make, but at this partiailar time, and in vier. of the conditions of our finances and other natter, I care not to launch out on any new enterprises at this time. So, for this report, I shall not include any recommendations to the Commission. I desire to day before thin CorrA ssion a re.nort of every act done by this adminisrration; I desire to ask the full co-operation of the entire commission, which I have always had end enjoyed, and which is indispensible in the aanage- ►::ent of the affairs of this city. I appreciate more than you perhaps realize the value of a word of advise and counsel; I bespeak for myself and for all the of$ cers of this city government your earnest co-operation. Full and complete harmony will conduce to our mutual advantage in seeing after the of ire of the city, and I ask the suggestion of every member of the Commission, in relation to any matter or about any official or employe. It is the purpose of this administration to give lb ounces to the pound--to give the very most of service in return to the citizenship for what they pay and contribute.

L Dear Sir:- T. have ruade a careful audit of the accounts and expense in connection with the paving of Fast Hickory street i. during 1916 and 1917, and find an follows:- The City Secretary's books carry an account entitled "Hickory Street Paving" against which there are debits to the total amount of $6593.91; in addition I find that the `Hates Works department of the City has a claim against this account of $171.85, making a total of $6765076. All of the above debits are in regular form and supported by proper vouchers or authorization. I do not fins any debits in this account, covering any of the wages of the regular street force of thL city for such time as they may have put in upon this work, nor no charge for the expense (if any) of administraotion by the regular city offioialss The anolosed report of the City Engineer indicates that 1533 cubic yacdd of rock were crushed at a total cost of 42242.57. These figures as to coat of crushing are correct according to vouchers ©nd charges in the "Paving Account" above mentioned; 16 The engineer's report further indicates that 1344 yards of this rook was used in Hickory street construction; this would make the total cost for crushing r;ok used on Hickory street t1964.92p an4 the cost, charged into the above "Paving Account% for the rook crushed, but used (according to Unginser's report) on another streets $276.31, 0#000004 7007 4.094000 It would appear that this $276x31 should be credited to thA above mentioned "Paving Account" and charged Against the paving of the other street, This deduction leaves the total coat of Hickory Street as per above mentioned "Paving Account" DC489.45. , r The Engineer's report indicates that the total area paved was 8880 sgitare yards; this makes the total cost per square yard 73@24 cents, or 8,137 cents per square foot; if the paving be 48 feet wide the total cost per running foot was $3.9057. In making the foregoing calculations I have used the figures, as to area paved and width of street, as indicated by the report of the City Engineer, and the figures as to total cost from the audited paving account, less the cost of crushing the 189 cubic yards of rocg that the Engineer reports as having been for another street, Yours very respectfully, D~ ilenton, Texas, ~Apl. 9th, 1917.

The stretch on the acme street from the Square Nest to 'likliame etreet will be oompletod, in all probabibity, by Saturday.week. The codtdnuance of John Be Denton street has been graded and opened for traffic and is now being used. Several minor fobs have been done, in various parts of tosai. We had expected a viAit from We N. ,Worenskiold to-day, • but he was delayed and will be here within a few days. He will inspect the sewage disposal plant, and look over the completion t of hie plane relating thereto. I have been attending to conditions looking to cleanliness around the watbr works plant, and have expended quite a bit of time ,and word{ there, and believe that conditions have been made much better around the plant, and I invite an inspection by the Commission. It is my opinion that this piece of city property should be kept in the very best oondition, from a sanitary standpoint. The Health Officer and I have bear maing a good many in- speotions in regard to eanitaiy matters, and I do not find such in the city the very best, but have the assurance of various oitiaans affected that they will oo-operate with use I again urge the necessity of placing traffic poets or columns upon the four corners of the square, and at the inter- section of Went Hiokpry and itcx2traeksx Pry streets. Also j I recommend that the Bicycle ordinance prepared by the City Attorney be Ya seed. My opinion is that the oilq and city mat bore are, in a ~I general avay, aIanc~ in about as 9064 condition as could be expected. All departments of the city are working harmoniously; everything is well in hand which requires the attention of any officer of the city. No great undertakings have recently been began; but those ' small matters which are necessary to be looked after fbr the general welfare and benefit & all the people, are receiving • our earnest attention. Many large enterprises can be thought of which we would be delighted to undertake for the city, but these things must be gradually worked out and financial conditions always must receive first attention whet matters of that kind are approached; therefore, we must content out-selves with doiniC the very best that we know how, with what we have . to do with.-looking to the beat service to the moot people. Respectfully submitted. July 24th. 1917. 64ore I { i I r wi O 1 j . I 1 I l I, k. F~ i add dolumommar, Jane 26th. 1917. To the Honorable City Oommiosion of the Oity of Denton, Texas -=4EKTLMV Complying with Section 7 of Article S of the City Charter, as well as your request pursuant thereto, I beg leave to submit this report of ~ q } the doings and accomplishm9 ts~ for the month just ending. I have purchased the pile of rook known as the "Rook- efeller monument" for the sum specified with semen months y. s in which to move same from the premises. About one-third of that rook has been used in the Septic Tank matter. The work being done at the septic Tank is just about finished, and meets all our expeotational a • In regard to the Junk yard matter, I have the promise that it shall not be further used for that purpose and that the lot will be cleared as the junk now there is movede I present you, separately, matter in regard to the deepening of well, indicated at last meeting. j Several culverts and bridges have been placed, since the big rain. We have endeavored to do some general t pair work on several of the streets, where it was most needed. Such as filling up chug holes, low places left by parties digging rioross the streets, eta. We believe that the permanent work now being done on West Hickory will be completed by Saturday night. I have reference to the block in front of the North Texas state Normal. s As per previous arrangement and understanding, we expect to complete the Hickory street work, by taking in the section now unfinished adjoining the square and going West, as soon as we care get to it s There has been built three permanent concrete oulverts, as per instructions from the Street and Bridge Committee and its Chairman., I r, ( y I have been to Paris and Dallas, Texas, and both tripe, were made in referonoe to city matters. My trip to Dallas was to attend upon the City Ylanning 9ssooiation, at which 't= matters were discussed retarding city betterment and im- provement. I had the pleasure of hearing the famous landscape architect, Mr. George E. Kessler, while there. I feel, and so report, that I am having the hearty and • earnest co- pperation of all heads of departments and employes of this city, and I wish to thank the oity•oom- mission, and each member thereof, for advise and counsel ' given so freely from time to time. , Respectfully Submitted, rr. ?day or u 3. 1 i '.i "i t I A I "5. . Cyr day, i 9 IY i tllrY~ t I am informed by City Seor cry g; a ass- esement of property has been completed. Also, that the Board of Equalization is about three-fourths done with its work. The City secretary has prepared and completed a statement as to the financial condition of the city, for , the year ending May 31ste last. r" d3 Mr. Linden, of the Water works department, is prp- ` paring a statement as to the financial oondition of suoh "o department e for the year past. The City Attorney reports that he has indexed the Charter, and has revised,.indexed and codified the or- dinsnoes of the city, and has prepared these two matters for publication, at the pleasure of the Commission. I wish to say that I believe it essential that our charter, and its index and all the ordinances of a public nature, with any penalty, attached, together with their index, should be published or bound in some sort of permanent form, at once. i The City attorney and off ioiale in charge thereof, are taking steps, such as is necessary, looking to the collection of delinquent tax. Likewise oolleotion of back fines is being looked after by the Marshal and myself. I reoomaend that there be placed end established at the four oornere of the public square, some character of pillars, or guide paste, with appropriate signs or•writinge thereon, in aid of the proper enforcement of our traffio ordinances and regakations. For your oonsideration, also, I submit the suggestion of placing board signs, or something of like character, at the xtU points where every publio road reaches the city limits, stating thereon the speed limit for motor vehicles in this oity. The City attorney has prepared several ordinances I that he believe would do well to pass. They, cover matt erg which need attention.
