1947 Annual ReportIF I KNEW YOU AND YOU KNEW ME
If I knew you and you knew me,
'Tis seldom we would disagree;
But, unless we both clasp hands,
We often fail to understand
That each intends to do-what's right
And treat each other "Honor Bright."
How little to complain there'd be
If I knew you and you knew me.
Whenever we some error make,
Or in your bill make some mistake,
From irritation you'd be free
If I knew you and you knew me.
Or when the checks don't come on time,
Nor can we get from you a line,
We'd wait without anxiety
If I knew you and you knew me.
Or when you come to knock us "Flat"
And make a kick on this or that,
We'd take it in good part, you see,
If I knew you and you knew me.
With Citizen's twenty thousand strong,
Occasionally things do go wrong —
Sometimes our fault, sometimes theirs —
Forbearance would decrease our cares;
Kind friend, how pleasant things would be
If I knew you and you knew me.
Then let no doubting thoughts abide
Of Firm good Faith on either side;
Confidence to each other give.
Living ourselves, let others live;
But anytime you come this way,
That you will call we hope and pray;
Then face to face we each shall see,
And I'll know You and You'll know Me.

To the Board of City Commissioners
and Citizens of Salina, Kansas.
It is a pleasure to present herewith the Annual Report of the administra-
tive affairs of the City of Salina for the year 1947.
The process of recovery from the war years has been slow but definite
progress has been made. Some worn equipment has been replaced and many
of the services demanded by the public have been improved and new ones
added. Material, quipment and supplies continued execesssively high and
adjustments in salaries upward were necessary for the city employees.
The city experienced a heavy building and expansion program which
taxed the facilities of all the departments to keep up with the pace set by the
builders. The shortage of material and labor was pronounced throughout the
year.
The loyal cooperative spirit of the employees made it possible to render
service even though all departments were short handed.
The wholehearted support of the governing body and the fine cooperation
of the citizens of Salina is hereby acknowledged.
Respectfully submitted,
E. J. ALLISON, City Manager
City Commission
The city commission have conscientiously passed proper legislation and
translated their policy to the manager for the general welfare and well being
of the community. The informal noonday meetings each Monday were dis-
continued and each problem was discussed freely in the regular meetings open
to the public. In some instances where research was necessary, certain matters
had to be carried over to the next regular meeting to give the commission an
opportunity to give thorough study to the matter at hand before formal action
was taken.
All citizens appearing before the commission were given proper hearing,
due consideration and deliberation was given all matters presented. Full co-
operation was extended to all organizations presenting recommendations and
special requests to the commission. Every effort was exerted to establish
,ound policies for the general welfare of all citizens.
The governing body met in regular session each Monday at 7:30 and gave
willingly of their time. In the course of the year 62 resolutions and 101
ordinances were introduced and passed, 581 licenses were issued covering taxi-
cabs, taxicab drivers, beer parlors, pool halls, bowling alleys, etc. A few
deviations from the zoning ordinance were granted and some modifications
of the building code were made.
City Clerk:
The city clerk as official recorder of the city has processed, recorded and
filed all the documents of the city passing through his office. As clerk of the
Board of City Commissioners he or his deputy has attended and recorded all
meetings and actions of that body. He has recorded 1127 births and 350
deaths during the year.
Transcripts for all bond issues during the year were handled through his
office. There were 52 commission meetings recorded.
Department of Administration and Finance:
This department includes the salary and wages and office expense of the
City Commission, City Manager, City Clerk, City Treasurer, City Bookkeeper,
Building Inspector and assistants, Dump Ground Keeper, City Restroom
Matron, and the necessary secretarial and stenographic help to service the
above mentioned offices. This department is responsible for the bookkeep-
ing and accounting of all the other departments of the city. It handles time
sheets and payroll procedures along with the processing of purchasing
documents.
The fiscal policies of the city are carried out in this department. During
1947, $17,046.61 of special assessment bonds for street improvements and
$475,000.00 general obligation bonds for the sewage disposal plant were
issued. This, plus the $220,633.86 of bonds outstanding as of December 31,
1946, makes a total of $492,046.61, less $71,741.32 worth of bonds retired
during the year, leaves a bonded debt of $640,939.15 total bonded debt as of
December 31, 1947. Of this amount $110,439.15 is special assessments and
$530,500.00 general obligation bonds.
There were $346,317.13 worth of temporary notes outstanding at the
end of the year. $244,857.27 were for special assessments for which bonds
will be issued and $101,459.86 were for general obligation which will be paid
out of the In Lieu of Issuing Bond Fund and no bonds will be issued.
To properly service the bond and interest fund it will be necessary to
raise $53,250.00 per year, plus interest, by levy. The special assessment in-
cluding the temporary notes will require $34,875.62 plus interest. The special
assessments do not affect the general levy unless there is delinquency.
City Court Department:
The City Court is a court of original jurisdiction to finally determine
misdemeanors, to settle controversies involving property value up to $1000.
It holds preliminary hearings for alleged felonies. There were 141 civil cases
and 345 criminal cases filed in the City Court in 1947.
Police Department:
It was determined years ago that a police department, to be adequately
manned, should have an officer per each 1000 population. This determination
was made before the days of automobiles and heavy traffic congestion and
naturally does not include the traffic officers. The Salina police department
had 22 officers including the 4 -man traffic squad to take care of 23,291 people.
This leave a deficiency of 6 officers for adequate staffing. Even though the
department was inadequately staffed its affectiveness was outstanding.
The volume of business was greater than any year in the history of the
department. Following is a detailed report of the activities of the department.
Arrests: 5615 overparking, 325 speeding, 81 reckless driving, 1113 other

diversions and the year 1947 was the banner year. As picnicking is the uni-
versal summer past time, it is estimated that 400,000 persons used the picnic
facilities in the various parks. This fall the park department built 20 stone
and concrete picnic tables in Kenwood Park to help provide tables for the large
group picnics that assemble at that popular picnic spot.
Attendance at the swimming pool held up unusually well in spite of the
fact that the soldier swimmer is not here as he was during the war years. In
addition to the usual swimming pool business, the pool was used without charge
during the summer by the Girl Scouts, the Boy Scouts, the Playground Group,
and two classes in life saving were conducted. These activities were carried on
in the mornings. There were 43,603 paid admissions to the pool during the
summer and with the number of participants in the morning activities, it is
estimated that 50,000 persons used the Municipal swi

Two new shuffle boards were added to the four already in Oakdale Park
and the game proved unusually popular. An estimated 14,000 persons en-
joyed this game during the summer.
Tennis has always been well taken and 1947 saw two very interesting
tournaments in Salina. With the courts in Sunset Park and those in Oakdale
Park, it is estimated that 10,000 persons used the courts. At the present time,
four new concrete courts are under construction in Oakdale, which will give
a total of six concrete courts in the city and these courts will stimulate the
interest of the better tennis players not only in Salina but of the surrounding
territory.
The game of toque has become quite popular in Salina in the past two
years. The city has two courts in Oakdale Park and approximately 6000 play-
ers used these facilities.
While horseshoe pitching went into a slump the past few years due to the
inability of the pitchers to secure shoes during the war years, the four courts
in Oakdale were busy at times and during the summer an estimated 1500
games of horseshoe were played. A nice horseshoe pitching contest
on these courts on the 4th of July. was held
ELI
There has been a demand for croquet and a croquet court is being con-
structed in Oakdale Park at the present time. It will be ready for use in the
spring.
The flower gardens and the lawns in the parks were maintained to add to
the attractiveness of the parks and to provide diversion to the lovers of flowers
and a good lawn.
The playground equipment has always been popular with the youngsters
and a new "Miracle Whirl" is being added to the equipment in Oakdale.

Water Works Department: year in the water
There was no disruption of service throughout the y
department. The plant was put to a terrific test during the dry hot period that
set in the latter part of July and continued into the first part of August. The
consumption averaged 8,500,000 gallons daily for 21 days. The excessive de-
mand came in the evenings from 5 o'clock P. M. and continued until 10
o'clock P. M. After the days water ers wassexperienced
tained during the peak p
during this peak period and the water took on a dark brownish color caused
by the iron and mangenese that has been deposited in the main and became
riled due to the velocity and volume of water drawn. However, all tests of the
water we found to be good bacteriologically.
The number of customers were increased from 6542 to 6836 or 294 ac-
counts. 7429 feet of 6" and 2750 feet of 4" new water mains were installed
at a cost of $23,750.31. 1,476.488,000 gallons of water was pumped from the
eight wells which is equal to 4489 acres of water allonse per t deep. cap is isT an
average of 4,045,172 gallons per day or 164 g P
daily average is 477,824 gallons more than it was in 1946, but due to increase
in population the daily per capita consumption was the same.
The water department closed the year with fixed assets of $1,070,023.34,
$27,060.20 cash, $301,500.55 invested in interest drawing securities fully
negotiable and $20,576.20 in accounts receivable and inventory.
No progress was made on the water softening plant. Due to inflation in
construction costs there is not eno was told at the time the opinion vote was ugh money in construct the softener. The public
taken that the softening plant would be constructed with surplus earnings and
no bonds would be necessary. If the improvement is made in the immediate
future bonds will be necessary.

Chapel View of Hillcrest Memorial Mausoleum
You have your choice of just two things: the grave,
or a snowy -white marble crypt. Which shall it be?
A fund for perpetual maintenance is provided, so that purchasers of
space may be sure that the building will always be well cared for, without
any additional expense to the purchasers.
GYPSUM HILL CEMETERY OF SALINA
It is unfortunate that the selection of a family plot is so generally ignored
until the hour of grief. The relatively simple task becomes a distressing
burden. Every family should be spared this ordeal by selecting the plot, and
a family memorial with the same sensible foresight and economy which
prompts us to provide insurance and to make our wills. Urge' your friends
and relatives to avoid this distressing experience by selecting the plot and
family memorial in advance. In the confusion and emotion which comes
with sorrow it is impossible to consider carefully the most desirable locations,
the probable number of interments eventually to be made, the type of memorial
to be placed on the plot, the planting that should beautify the setting and
other important factors. If your family plot has been selected under condi-
tions which made a careful study impossible, then the cemetery will readily
change the location, applying the cost of the original site to the new lot.
GYPSUM HILL CEMETERY and HILLCREST MEMORIAL MAUS-
OLEUM, are owned and under the control of the City of Salina. All receipts
collected from the sale of lots and from all sources are applied on the upkeep
and beautifying of the ground. If at any time the receipts are not sufficient,
the City must according to law, levy a tax for the support of the cemetery,
so there will always be a positive guarantee that the cemetery will be perpetual.
The lot owners have the privilege of placing any style of monument on lots
they may desire, or may build private mausoleums. The rules of the cemetery
are very liberal and are made for the benefit of the lot owners whok have a
voice in the management just the same as in any other part of the city
government.
Eventually you will want to decide on one or the other. Why not decide
now, calmly and carefully, giving due consideration to all of the factors
involved?
