of our departments. And I consider
the highest order of obligation and
the highest order of duty which de
volves upon us is to lend encourage'
ment to all movements for good and to
promote with enterprise those projects
tending for advancement and reform.
I welcome you, gentlemen, to this
the beautiful little gem city of the
mountains. Here wo have the finest
water supply in America. Taken from
the home of the speckled trout this
crystal fluid is sent rushing through
woodland and Held to the happy
homes of our people; Our paved
streets and sidewalks for fifty miles
afford easy and convenient trave' to
the public, and our parks and lakes
lend their attraction to our town.
Asheville delights to have you here.
We hope to catch an inspiration from
your undaunted spirit, and to receive
from you first hand an impetus to
our civic betterments.
We bid you drive along our moun
tain roads as panorama after pano
?orlunltiea, for there Is no 'city of the
same size more progressive, or where i
ine health and comtort of the people
are more carefully considered.
The members ox the Carolina Muni
cipal association are assembled here1.
tor the purpose of studying the vari-j
oua problems which confront munici
palities. The phenomenal growth of
towns and cities is claiming the at
tention of the thinking people, of the!
world. When the first census of the i
United States was taken there resided !
in our cities and towns three per cent
of the population, and 97 per cent In
the country. When the last census was
taken SI per cent were found in the
cities and towns and 49 per cent In
the country. This crowding of the peo
ple into the cities and towns has de
veloped a condition which makes the
careful and painstaking study of civic
improvement an absolute necessity.
There are so many theories advanced
for the omeloratlon of conditions It
is confusing and extremely difficult to
draw the line between the superficial
and substantial, the ornamental and
the Useful. The object of this associa
tion Is to meet and exchange ideas.
Every town or city has some particu
lar thing In which It excels all others,!
and this exchange of ideas Is of In
estimable value. It brings out and
calls to your attention the point, of
strength or weakness in the manage
ment of jour city. Like the French
man wno living in i-nuaaeipnia ana
possesses a great pride In the great
ness of his city visited New Tork in
company with a New York friend he
stopped In a restaurant for lunch and
ordered snails, his friend asked him,
Can't you get snails In Philadelphia?"
to which he replied, "No we can't
catch them. This seems to illustrate
that all cities are different,
Once again, in behalf of the Caro
lina Municipal association, I desire to
thank you for your words of wel
come. . -'
Asheville, nestled among the moun
tains, has ever been tho mecca for
the health seekers and the pleasure
seekers, but it Is more than a resort.
it is a city of modern progress, of
large business enterprises, and above
all of friendly hospitality to all within
Its gates.
