| Mr.. Rodney moved the adoption OF

Mr.. Chandler said he had none but
friendly feelings for the officers of the
preset mt Council, for their kindness and
courtesy, aud for the members who had
even been courteous to the minority
During the past ear there had been les'
| u 'rsonalities than in any Council fo
| years, and the recollections of his ser
wee in the present Council would eve
be of the most pleasant character.
Mr.. II. II. Taylor said he heartily sub
| scribed to the resolutions. The past yea
] had been remarkable one in many re
spects. lie could truly say that of hii
seven years term In the Council, th
past year had been marked by less con
ten'ion and better personal feelings thai
any previous year. There had not been
during the year, single matter of legls
lation passed by strictly political vote
The past Council had done what no pre-
yIous Council ever did-run the city 70
eighteen months ON the revenues o
twelve months; and the minority hat
aided the majority to accomplish this
and had offered no factious opposition
whatever.
Further complimentary remarks wer'
made by Messrs. Rodney, McGlinchey
Hue 3ted aud PaynJer, and appropriate
| RESPONSES were made by Clerk Fraze
and President Sbarplcy. The resolution
were then adopted and Council adjourn
ed.
