powers under which you act dates from a neriod wben
our entire population little exceeded twenty thousand in
naDtahts; 1t now finds the representatives more
than quarter of million of people, with commercial
LEGATIONS extending to of the civilized world
renewed obligations Of thankfuness to a bounul Proy
dence for the blessings which he has permitted us to en-
JOY, ana winch at no former period have been
marked or encouraging.
The general trade of city during the past year has
peen wen maintained, notwithstanding the drawbacks
whch nave been experienced in several important items
owing to causes which have operated with equal in
other cities The total aggregate estimated at the large
sum of one hundred and fifty millions of dollars
The statistics of the health department continue to
show marked Improvement, and take pleasure in
commencing them to your particular notice. No city in
the Union has been more exempt from the ravages dis
ease But while much is due to climate and position
cannot withhold my acknowledgment of the important
services which have been rendered by Board of
Health The sanitary discipline introduced by
partment and the promptness with which they antici.
pate and guard against every probable approach Of dan
ger nave largely contribuedto the results which have
attended their labors from year to year.
While, however, have had SO many causes for
thankfuness and gratitude, have occurred re-
greet to say almost at doors which greatly
excited the feelings of large class citizens
our own and adjoining States The invasion of the
homes and hresdes of people united to by ties of
cia and commercial brotherhood, by band of rufans
leo on by influences which could hope less rrtat
ing to conservative and Union loving men, could be
lightly regarded here is with unfeigned pleasure that
bear witness to the alacrity with which the people
this city volunteered their support and held themselves
in readiness with their capital and facilities transpor
taton to give protection to community sharing with
them common institutions, and bound to them by
mon destiny.
