MAYOR OF CITY
TALKS TO CLASS
Class in Journalism Hears Some
Interesting Information
About City
Mayor Culbreth talked t the Jour
nalism Class Friday, October' 30, on
"The City of Raleigh."
Raleigh was incorporated in 1792.
Tho3e who founded it tried to get it
in the center of the state. The court
house was on the corner of what is
now Boylan Avenue and Morgan
Street. :
Up until 1806 Raleigh contained
about 5,000 .persons. It received its
first charter in 1903.
Raleigh was at first governed by the
aldermaniac form of government but
later (1913) accepted the commission
form of government.
Mr. Culbreth explained this method
of governing a city. There are three
commissioners commissioner of pub
lic safety, commissioner of public fi
nance, and commissioner of public
works.
The commissioner of public safety
is also the treasurer and has charge
of the police department, ligting, fire
department, the city market, and sani
tary department.
The commissioner of public finance,
who is called the mayor, has charge
of collecting taxes, licenses and in
specting various business houses.
The commissioner of public works
has charge of the waterworks, abattoir
and street force,.
These three commissioners meet
daily, consult each other and annually
work out a budget for the expenses of
the year. The money required is ob
tained from taxes, licenses, issuing
bonds, and for work the city does for
individual citizens, that Is paid for.
The water supply of Raleigh was
formerly obtained from Lake Raleigh,
but since this was not sufficient, a
new lake has been built about three
miles from Lake Raleigh.
Mr. Culbreth stated that Lake Ra
leigh contains 45,000,000 gallons and
the new lake 4,000,000 gallons, which
supplies Raleigh with an average of
4,000,000 each day.
