If 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 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
Nor can we get from you a line,
We'd wait without anxiety
If I knew you and you knew me.
time,
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 friends, 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 again my pleasure to present herewith the Annual Report of
the financial affairs and the activities of the various departments and
officers in administering the affairs of the city for the year 1948.
It will be noted throughout the report that the growth and expan-
sion of the city as started in 1947 continued throughout 1948 at an in-
creased tempo. All of the departments were called upon for enlarged
and additional services.
EVery effort was exerted to respond to the request for better and
more service and the departments rendered the maximum consider-
ing the limited funds available.
I wish to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the
public for the fine cooperation, patience and understanding extended
the administrative officers of the city. I want to thank the city gov-
erning body for the concordant support given, and the loyal, willing
spirit of the city employees, which made this year's accomplishments
possible.
Respectfully submitted,
E. J. ALLISON, City Manager
CITY COMMISSION
The city commission as the legislative policy forming body of
the city meet in regular sessions 52 times during the year. 92 ordin-
ances and 58 resolutions were passed for the welfare and convenience
of the general public. 834 licenses were issued covering taxicahô,
taxicab drivers, beer parlors, pool halls, bowling alleys, fireworks.
plumbing, gas fitters, electricians and itinerant merchants.
All citizen groups appearing before the commission were given
a fair hearing and proper action taken relative to their request, com-
plaint or recommendation. All local organizations were treated with
a spirit of co-operation by the governing body. Each member of the
board gave freely of his time in considering the many problems fac-
ing the city.
In establishing the fiscal policies of the city the governing body
have realized that it is necessary for improvements to be carried on
within reason if the city is to make progress, and that it is also nec-
essary to keep a close watch on the bonded indebtedness of the city
so that there is not too heavy a mortgage on the future. An honest
effort has been made to carryon vital construction projects and
defer some that fall in the luxury class, which can be delayed with-
out seriously impairing the growth and development of the com-
munity.
City Cerk
The city clerk or his deputy was present and recorded the action
of the commission at all of their meetings. All city documents pass-
ing through his office have been recorded and filed. His records re-
veal that there were 1294 births and 372 deaths in 1948. There were
119 burials in the Gypsum Hill Cemetery.
Transcripts for all bond issues were handled by the city clerk.
T.here were several issues for special improvements and the municipal
aIrport.

There were 4 deaths during the year caused by fire. The depart-
ment made 9 runs with the resuscitator. The iron lung was used twice

Park Department
The parks of Salina in 1948 continued to be very popular as was
indicated by the number of people who visited them and partook in
the various forms of recreation offered. As picnicking is enjoyed by
every member of a family, it is the universal pastime and it is esti-
mated that 425,000 used the picnic facilities in the various parks
sometime during the summer. The facilities are such that the parks
are becoming more and more the center for family reunions, the
families coming from many directions and in some instances great
distances and meeting in one of the parks for their reunion. The
parks are also the scene for many large picnics, such as lodges,
churches, and industrial organizations. This fall the park department
built 19 stone and concrete picnic tables to provide further facilities
for picnicking in the various parks.
The swimming pool continues to be a popular spot with a great
number of youngsters who enjoy the shallow water for wading and
playing, and for the older people who like to swim and dive in the
deeper area. In addition to the usual swimming pool business, the pool
was used for morning swimming classes during the summer by the
Girl Scouts, the Boy Scouts, the Playground groups, groups of young-
sters from smaller towns in this vicinity, and classes in life saving
were conducted. Before opening in the spring, the pool bottom and
sides was given a coat of paint which added materially to its at-
tractiveness. During the swimming season there were 37,527 paid
admissions to the pool and with the number of participants in the
morning activities, it is estimated that 50,000 persons used the muni-
cipal pool during the season.
The six shuffle boards in Oakdale park were again very well
used and enjoyed by an estimated 20,000 who engaged in this fine
game. Three ping pong tables are run in conjunction with the shuffle
11
boards and they were used by many ping pong players.
Tennis in Salina the past year saw a decided increase in the
number of participants, due wholly to the four fine new concrete
courts completed in the spring in Oakdale Park. During the season the
courts were used for tournament play by the High School, the Kansas
Wesleyan, and the local Tennis Club who sponsored two county and
one state tournaments. With the six asphalt courts in Sunset Park
and six concrete courts in Oakdale, it is estimated that 16,000 persons
used the courts.
While the game of roque is comparatively new to this section of
the country, the two courts in Oakdale were quite busy and play
showed a little increase over 1947, approximately 7000 persons par-
ticipating.
Horseshoe pitching is again coming to the front in popularity due
to the fact that since the war players can again buy horseshoes and
about 3000 pitchers used the horseshoe grounds. The courts in Oak-
dale the past summer were not adequate to take care of the increas-
ed play of this game, consequently four new courts have been con-
structed according to official specifications and each court will be
individually lighted. These courts will be ready for the 1949 season
and they should attract some out-of-town tournaments as well as the
increased local play.
Answering a demand for a croquet court, one was set up in Oak-
dale and it was well patronized. Occasionally the one court could not
accommodate all the players so it "overflowed" onto one of the roque
courts if it happened that both roque courts were not in use at that
particular time. About 3500 played croquet the past summer.
As usual, the playground equipment in all the parks is very
popular with the youngsters. Two new slides have been ordered and
will be set up, one in Sunset and the other in Oakdale parks as soon
as delivery is made.
The miniature train in Kenwood park was far more popular this
season than last due perhaps to better management and operation and
the relocation of the track.
Midget auto racing on the track in Thomas Park has an en-
thusiastic following both for the "hobbist" of the little cars and the
spectators who like to watch the midget cars run.
Facilities are provided in Sunset Park each summer for band
concerts by the Salina Municipal Band. Thousands of people attend
the concerts, sit in their cars to listen, or spread blankets on the
grass under the stars.
A very fine modern swimming pool was completed in the spring
at the Negro recreation center and put into use, it being well re-
ceived by the colored people. Four concrete picnic tables were built
at this center for use next summer and other facilities and landscap-
ing will be added as conditions arise.
The flower gardens and the lawns in the parks are maintained
to add to the beauty and attractiveness of the parks and to provide
interest to the lovers of flowers and a good lawn. The rock garden in
12
Sunset Park is attractive for its rockery with its flowers, rustic
bridges, winding path and for the three large lily pools with their
hundreds of gold fish.
Took 5 loads of dirt from street "island" on Country Club
Heights (soil killed by gas leak) and replaced same with good soil.
Built brick manhole on sewer line in Sunset to facilitate clean-outs.
Hauled in 18 loads of barnyard manure and fertilized the flower
beds in Oakdale. Started cutting down dirt ridge built up around
lower drive by floods in Oakdale, hauling 7 loads to replace dirt re-
moved by shuffle boards, 8 loads to build up grade at new horseshoe
location, two loads to widen shoulders around the south roque court,
and 6 loads to raise a grade on the by-pass. Brought in two loads of
red clay from the airport for use in the pitching boxes of the new
horseshoe courts.. Made a set of screens and installed same on the
toilet buildings in Sunset Park to protect window lights against
breakage. Tree trimming being done weather permitting and removal
of brush. Readied the tennis courts for skating by putting up tempor-
ary fences, putting up two flood-lights, flooded the area, brought in
load of fire wood, etc. Painting and repairing benches and tables
during inclement weather.
Water Works Deparf'ment
During the year of 1948, 1,582,010,000 gallons of water was pump-
ed which equals 64,358 gallons of water per capita per year or 176
gallons per day for each individual. This equals 1466 pounds.
The pumping facilities of the plant was greatly improved by the
installation of a new 3000 gallon per minute pump to operate against
70 pounds of pressure. This replaced the first electric motor driven
pump that was installed in the plant. The old pump was designed to
pump against 60 pounds pressure.
Due to the many main extensions it is necessary to carry 70
pounds of pressure at the plant during the summer months when the
demand is heavy. We now have two pumps capable of delivering-
7500 gallons of water per minute against 70 'pounds of pressure.
As revealed in' the engineers report, two new wells were con-
structed which increase our well capacity 2100 gallons per minute.
This now gives us 10 wells capable of delivering 10,000 gallons per
minute.
During the year we laid 502 ft. of 2", 1079 ft. of 4", 5625 ft. of 6",
3354 ft. of 8", 50 ft. of 10" and 5 ft. of 12" cast iron water lines. 34
new 6" hydrants and 2 4" hydrants were installed. The capital ac-
counts of the water department were increased by $59,575.63 by the
above enumerated improvements.
The two elevated storage tanks were repaired and painted at a
cost of $14,180.00.
We had an increase of 434 water accounts, having had 6836
active accounts at the beginning of the year and 7270 at the close.

ing he is otherwise legally qualified. As long as the voter continues to
reside at the same street and house number and votes at each general
election (this means the election in November), he or she is not requir-
ed to register again. If the voter so registered fails to vote at any gen-
eral election, his or her name must be dropped from the list of regis-
tered voters; or if the voter removes from the house or street number
from which he or she may have registered, he or she must personally
appear before the city clerk and be reregistered.-State Law.
The registration books are open at all times during the year at the
office of the City Clerk except the 10 days before each election, at
which time they will remain closed until after the ele,tion.

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 fore-
sight and economy which prompts us to provide insurance and to
make our wills. Urge your friends and relatives to avoid this distree-
ing experience by selecting the plot and family memorial in advance.
In the confusion and emotion which comes with sorrow it is impossi-
ble 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 conditions which made a careful study impossible, then the
cemetery will readily change the location, applying the cost of the or-
iginal site to the new lot.
GYPSUM HILL CEMETERY and HILLCREST MEMORIAL
MAUSOLEUM, 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 pos-
itive 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 who
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 of the other. Why not
decide now, calmly and carefully, giving due consideration to all of
the factors involved?
