Mayor 7 232 233 FIRST I&~ETING INAUGU.~ E~EETING Council Chamber January 3, 1938 Tn accordance with the provisions of The Municipal Act, the Council met at 11.00 o'clock with all members present.

MeAninch and Grimstar that a vote of thanks be tendered to l~agistrate Hopkins by His Worship Mayor ttanniwell. Carried After this, the Council for 1938 was duly organized and open for the transaction of general business. The meeting was opened with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Robert Hailo It was ordered by Ald. A.F.Donald and McAninch that a vote of thanks be tendered to the Bev. Mr. Hall. Carrioi His Worship ~ayor Hanniwell delivered his Inaugurul Address. On the motion of Ald. McAninch and A.F.Donald, the ~ayor'a Inaugural Address ~ms ordered spread on the minutes. MAYOR'S INAUGU;~ ADDRESS Before cnwwnencing his Inaugural Address, His Worship M~yor Hanniwall thanked the Department of Municipal Affairs for the co-operation .in the pest. His Worship stated that he knew from advice of telephone calls and by personal contact that Mr. Moore sad Mr. Herton will continue that co-operation in the futux~. His Worship had asked on behalf of the City Council for any sug~estione they may care to make, as he believes they are in a pos~ion to offer advice which the members of Council could affprd to take. His Worship then continued with his Inaugural Ad- dress, .as follows: CITIZEI~, 01vie Ex~LOTEES, COUNCIL: To the citizens of Niagara Falls I want to express my most sincere thanks for the enthusiastic support you gave me in my recent election. I hope that I will in soma roeaware be able to compensate your trust during the coming year. I am sure you will agree that no one is infallible, and undoubtedly we as a council will make some mistakes, but X implore you to practice dharity towards us in this regard. We will have a difficult year in many respects. Perhaps your wishes have exaggerated your expectations. That seems to be a rule in any large change in a political org- anization. I~t ms hasten to assure you whatever this council does in determiming various issues as they present themselves, I am sure will be done in the best int- erests of the city of Niagara Falls. We all realize certain ambitions will be our- bed, certain o~n~es will of necessity be made, certain appointments be made, not always wlth the support of 100% of the ctttznes, but ~e hope with the desires of the maJo~ity. If ta~diness in handltn~ cox. rain matters should happen to appear, I trust yoU will again bear with us, ans I personally would rather give a matter extra con- slde~atton an~ be right, than h~xTtedly decide and be wrong. I invite f~om you all oonstx~ao$1ve Orltiotmn in the interests of eta' City, but by the some token I do not intend to consider octplaints of a personal nature which eminate flora selfish desires. To the civic employees of our City, X ~ant to express my thanks to you for your loyalty during my three years as Aideminn. I hope I may continue to receive that loyalty and prove to you your trust in me has riot been misplaced. I want you all, regardless of position, to feel perfectly Justified and complete- ly at ease to consult me at any time. X appreciate the sacrifices that have been made on your part in the way of monetary contributions to the City, on the other hand your position as a civic employee should be secure so long as you fulfill your duties properly and I believe this has been done in the great majority of cases. This latter problem of security of position should have in some respects compensoted during the depression era, for the losses you received. I am, how- ever, lad to believe that security has not been as definite as it should have been. T therefore nmke this promise to you, and I make it after an election, that if serious difficulty arises involving an employee who has been in the service of the municipality for some time, cc~e to me, express your problem honestly, and I will endaavour myself, or if necessary with the. aid of the council, to set- tle your difficulty amicably. Mother point I would like to emphasize here is that I am sure this council will do their best with the limited resources in their cormhand to restore to you as much of your salary as it is b,..~nly possible to do expecially the smaller paid employees. To the Council I trust you will co-operate with one another, myself of course included, but at the smue time hasten to offer such constructive criticiota as you feel ~ight be in the interests of the City. We all appreciate the fact that certain changes will undoubtedly be made, in the last election the issues were quite clear and defined and the mandate from the electors extremely decisive. In such cases it is imperative that personal affiliations be subjected to munic- ipal interests and cognizance of the electors' desires be considered as quickly as possible. One the other hand I hope whatever changes are mode will be done only after serious contemplation on everyone' s part. Any ch~mges in personnel, nocording to my ideas, should be of a probationary n~ture. I deplore lintrenege. Municipal employees should be considered on a plane similar to that of the civil service. I.hope that in your future deulings you will agree to this in practice as well as theory. Further, I am of the opinion that if we are to hold depart- ment heads responsible for theiredepartments, their recommendations should bear pr~mnx~/consideration, both in respect to the personnel of their department as well as the functions and needs of the dep~rtment. It is my recommendation that department heads be so advised. I am of the opinion that if they are incapable of ranking satisfactory reoo~rn_~ndations they should not be trusted with the pos- ition they hold. X would like to suggest that in the future more considex~tion be given to the finances of the city in ccamnittse of the whole. By that I mean that we should have infomml finance meetings for the purpose of discussing ways and means of datereining our future course, and at the some time acquaint our- selves with the needs of the city and the problems confronting us. I am not say- ing it has not been the practice in the past, but X am suggesting that it be done in the futtu~. Because a certain expenditure is set up +in the budget it does not necessarily follow that the same must be bought or done and the money spent. It is with this object in mind that I suggest the above conferences and spend .more time On unexpended portions of the budget than considering expenditures already completed as is shovm by your quarterly revenue and expendittu~ statements. I do not desire to build up false hopes, but in this way it may be possible to build up a faycurable balance at the end of the year which to my way of-,thinking should either be returned to the taxpayers as a reduction in mill rate of the following year or be used to lay off mere of our bonded indebtedness. For such purposes, as these or any other matters, May I ex~cend to you all full right and use of the Mayor's of. floe. Such information as I receive will be open for your inspection at any time and X will at all times wleoome your suggestions pertaining to the administration of the Oity. ~mming up, may X once again thank you for your suppol~, ene and all, and let us all pull togathe r to make 19~8 a truly happy and prosperous ~ear.
