In compliance with your request, I herewith hand you a summary of what the Fox administratiojn did for Fulton during tfae past two years. At the beginning of my; administra- tion I was confronted with a chaotic condition at the pump house, which necessitated the immediate purchase and installation of two new boilers and a new pump. The saving: to the city in coal alone in the year 1915 was $518.54, ^although the ^cost of coal in 1915 has been 8c a ton more than the cost of coal in 1913. We have also made extensive re-\ pairs in our water mains and service mains, which has saved thousands of gallons of water per month that waa formerly running away. We also completed the standpipe. We had the boiler and the grates in the boiler at the city hospital chang-ed, which saves approximately ! 5375 a year in fuel consumed over the old system. ADVICE TO MOTOR CAR SALES- MEN. Hugh Chalmers of the Chalmers Mo- tor Company frfves the following ad- vice to salesmen In a recent issue of the house nrg^n. Chflmers Monogram. as quoted by the Telephone Review. New York: \Everybody If alwnys at home to lonp dlstnnco. Ton nse the telephone for Jocnl calls every day, yes. every hour. Tna bny and sell over it. It's quick and chenp. Why not extend itfl UFefiilnws and profit? There Is a cir- cle of 100 miles around your office. In which you can deal just as easily over the telephone. \Even the best salesman doesn't al- ways pet an interview. People are ex- perts In 'dorlsinc' Competition is been. Methods of npproachinp people mast be carefully r-nnsMered. The malls are flooded with rirrulars and letters. \Thp telephone Is a means of ap- proach that Is not overdone. It mean* business of importance and it pets erpn belter attention than a.telejrram. You tnlk direct to your prospects, give and receive full explanations, get an answer on the spot. \Call your dealers and salesmen ev- ery day or two. Give them some ot yonr pinker. A telephone conversa- tion is almost equal to a personal con- ference, and you know what a stimu- lus that is to business. You have a lot of out-of-town prospects who an? jupt on the rcrpe of buying. You can't pot to them ripbt now: you may be too busy: the mmls may be bad. Tele- phone them.

Fo We completed the Oak Street school, the Erie Street School, the manual training department intro- duced in our public schools and an open air school was also established, Schenck street, which waa a source of annoyance for years to the travel- ing public, was paved with brick, making 1 an approach to the bridge which has been of more benefit to the city than any other street that was ever paved in the community. The following 1 streets were also paved with brick: Rochester street, be- tween First and Second; Second street, between Oneida and Erie; Second street,between Oneida and Caymga streets between the railroad tracks. Also a brick pavement at the east approach of the lower bridge in connection with the taking away of the oid canal bridge and filling this section 6f the abandoned canal, an improvement which cost approxi- mately S40.000, and of which the city paid no part. The amount of paving done upon the streets of the city dur- ing mv administration amounted to one raOe and four-tenths. The following streets were also macadamized : Third street .between Oneida and CayugB; Cayuga street, between Third and Fourth; Roches- ter street, between Second and Fourth: Buffalo street, between Third and Fourth; Third street, be- tween Academy street and Broad- way ; West Third street, between Phillips and Cedar. In connection with the paving- and grading of th< etreet-5 of the city during the pas two years, not EI lawsuit was brought agninst the city. I required an extra amount of as- phalt to be placed in this paving over and above what the engineer esti- mated a^ necesssr;-, and as a result of my opinion as to the proper amount of asphalt to be used in this kind of paving, I am informed, the state now re-quires practically a like axnount of asphaIt to be us-ed in the j construction of pavements of like character.
