It appears from Mayor Weisgerber's message that a large part of the valuable assets of the city are certain tracts of land, the improvement of which he urges as a politic measure.
One of these tracts of land lies on that part of the hill known as the sand drift, and just now, from existing conditions, well nigh without value. The sand drift on the hill is increasing its area of devastation every year.
The rapid development of the residence area upon the hill is creating a demand for the property endangered by the sand drift, and the Teller suggests that the new administration should take up this matter of improvement as well as the ones mentioned in the mayor's message.
The city is the largest holder of property within the area of the sand drift, and the question of inaugurating a movement for the redeeming of the sand-covered areas and preventing further damages lies within the range of the mayor's proposed system of improving the city's properties.
