1915 Annual ReportANNUAL REPORT of the City of Salina, Kansas For the Year Ending June 30th, 1915 791M a a x H N U INTRODUCTION To the Honorable Mayor and Connci.lmcn, Salina, Kansas: GExTLFJtF1 : In presenting this report it has been the endeavor of the compiler to make it as simple as possible, and, at the same time comprehensive. A long introduction, I think, is unnecessary, whatever merit the report has, will show for itself. In compiling this, I have tried to make the report brief. Have made comparisons with previous years as far as possible. I have divided and classified the reports as follows: Receipts and Expenditures for the year. A statement showing the expenditures of the different de- partments for the year, with a comparative statement for pre- vious years. A statement of Fines collected by the Police Court, and a comparative statement for previous years. Also some valuable information, which I think will be appre- ciated by the public. A complete tabulated statement of, all pave- ment constructed in the City, giving all the information that could be possibly obtained, and also Water and Light Statistics, Tax Levy for the \-ear, and a complete list of City Officials from 11367 to the present date. In addition, the City 'Marshal and Fire Chief, submitted a report of the work done in their department for the year. In conclusion I wish to thank the Mayor and Council for all courtesies extended during the past, and hope that my efforts in preparing this report will be of some service to the City. Respectfully submitted, CHAS. E. BANKER, Cite Clerk.
