industry, which every one of you have brought to |
the discharge Of the public trusts conhded to your

tonS have materially added to the aggregate OF the
happiness and prosperity Of our common constit-
uenoy,
Again, thanking you for your generous indorBe-
ment of my official conduct, now declare the |
BoArd-of Aldermen adjourned sine die.
