It has become the custom for the executive officer of the Corporation to submit to you a short report of the work that has been accomplished by the Council during their year of office, and also to include a synopsis of the various institu- tions under Municipal control. I congratulate you upon the unparalleled prosperity that has attended the city during the past year, the solid and substantial progress which has taken place, evidenced by j the erection of new buildings in all parts of the city, the I value of which, amounting in the aggregate to nearly 1800,- OOO, no previous year has ever witnessecl. This most grati- fying result of advancement and rapid improvement in the city, and the future outlook for making Victoria the great \qxUj of the ivest, is most encouraging. By the strict and impartial method adopted by you in I letting Corporation work by contract, you have succeeded in [accomplishing more work this year than any Council that lever preceded you, and you have not left any contract out- Istanding to be completed by your successors; an iniquitous [practice, (contrary to the Municipal Act), which has pre- vailed in previous Municipal bodies, and which cannot be |too strongly condemned. If previous Councils could over- ran the revenue, without consulting the rate-payers, and this Council was liable for the debts, there is nothing to prevent any succeeding Council from incurring liabilities to [tny extent, and so swamp the city finances years in advance p receiving them . This question has now become a serious matter for the fate-payers to consider, and ought to be thoroughly ventilat- ed and a final decision obtained to settle this point. liiiiiiiita ■Mil u ¥-^ Ih' A fair rtivision of the voal estato assessment roll by the incoming Council will contribute to some extent to increase the city revenue, but not so as to encourage or warrant wild and extravagant expenditure in undertakings long in advance of the requirements of the city. AVith respect to a system of sewerage, suitable for this city, 1 am not required to instruct the citizens by a treatise on sanitary engineering. Any one who has spent the last six months in this city cannot have failed to have heard enough about sewerage and sewer gas, malaria, etc., but the difficulty in the way of a perfect system of sewers for Vic- toria is of another character. It cannot be had without paying the cost, and the limited capacity of the city treasury, considered with the magnitude of the undertaking to con- struct a complete work, will, I fear, bo a serious barrier. The incapacity of our population, at present, to bear heavy taxation, will no doubt deter the city government for some time to come from commencing this enterprise, however pressing the necessity may be. Therefore it would seem that other sanitary measures must be resorted to for the present, and rigidly enforced. But, notwithstanding the as- sertions to the contrary, and taking into consideration the many invalids from the various parts of the Province and Puget Sound, who come here for medical aid, and the vast increase in the population during the past year, the Burial Record establishes the fact that the mortality in the year 1883 was greater by 57 than during the past year; this re- sult would seem to point to the fact that no reliance what- ever can be placed upon unofficial reports, or upon the opinions of men who may be desirous of, or interested in involving the city in a large debt. I have also to congratulate you upon the suppression of public gambling within the city, a practice which has con- tinued in our midst for over a quarter of a century, bringing,' disgrace, misery and ruin upon young and old, who visited the haunts of games of chance. Previous Mayors and Coun- cillors consulted only their own popularity, but you consid- ered the welfare of your fellow citizens and the risinj,' generation in preference to popularity, and lent your aid to crush the monster evil out of existence. POLICE MAGISTRATE. You have also, during your year of office, and in the] exercise of your judgment, made a change in the office of Police Magistrate, and appointed a gentleman learned in the law to that position; one who is not likely by his decisions to infringe on the liberty of Her Majesty's subjects, and, so viii M»iiiii^wnw'>iiiMiiiiiii[)' ; Wi 111 nil ; roll by the to increase i'iirrant wild 5 in advance ible for this a treatise jent the last have heard ,'tc., but the ors for Vic- lad witiiout tv treasury, king to con- ous barrier. bear heavy ent for some se, however would seem to for the iding the as- ideration the Province and and the vast ,r, the Burial y in the year L-ear; this re- eliance what- or upon the interested in ippression of hich has con- iiry, bringing,' , who visited rs and Coun- t you consid- d the rising it vour aid to !e, and in the I 1 the office of earned in the his decisions jects, and, so ar as 1 know, the appointment has given general satisfac- tion to all classes of the communitv. His advice on matters connected with the Corporation will at all times be available, and no doubt will prove beneficial to the pockets of the mte-payers. ELECTRIC LIGHT. The electric light, as at present supplied, I believe to be a failuie, so far as the demands of the city require, and demonstrates without doubt the necessity of providing other or additional means for the satisfactory lighting of the city. The present contract can, I believe, at any time be annulled if the light produced is not equal to an illuminating power of 50,001) candles, (which the Corporation have no means of testing.) At no time during the reading test this year did the reading test come up the contract. ROCK CRUSHER AND STEAM DRILL. Both these machines were tested to the full extent of their capacity during the year, and the result proves beyond a doubt that neither in blasting or crushing rock has any saving been made compared with hand labor. EXTENSION OF RUPERT STREET. Lots 1246 and 1194 on McClure and CoUinson streets have been purchased for the sum of $900 for this purpose. EXTENSION OF CHATHAM STREET. A portion of lot 60, Spring Kidge, has been purchased [for the purpose of widening this street; the sum paid was 11200. EXTENSION OF YATES STREET. In order to carry Yates street through to Fort the sum [of $652 50 was paid B. W. Pearse for purchase of portion f his property. CITY surveyor's REPORT. Statement of work performed during the year 1884: Bridges, etc. — James Bay Bridge was re-planked and trengthened at a cost of $835. Two additional stone piers have been built at a cost of 1,600.
