Message of Mayor Da,rson.
Gentlemen of the Common Council:

Gentlemen OF the common Council:
During the past six years most of us have
been connected with the city government. 1t
is now more than six years since I was first
elected as an alderman from the Second ward
During these intervening years our city has
passed through very important periodAin its
history. We suffered long from the effects of
the financial depression that was felt over the
entire country. In addition to this, there were
causes OF local nature, which made many of
our people look with gloomy forebodiugs to
the future of our city.
How pleasantly things have changed. Con-
fdence has been restored throughout the
country, and our local prosperity and rapid
growth during the last two years have more
than realized the fondest anticpations of our
most sanguine citizens. Everywhere around
US you see the evidences of our prosperity.
Our own citizens, with the money made
here, are in all the business parts Of our city
erecting magnificent and costly buildings
The days OF inferior structures seems to have
passed away. Our citizens are now construct
Ing blocks of four, five and six stories that
would be credit to any city in the Union.
Go where you will over our large territory
and everywhere you will see blocks
of dwellings or separate houses
being erected. At no time in the history OF
st. Paul has there been such universal bros.
perity. Our merchants are increasing almost
daily in number, and the old established houses
have enlarged their business beyond their ex
pectations, and almost beyond their fondest
hopes. ~ 4
OUR RAILROAD SYSTEM.
The rapid settlement of the country north
and west OF us partly accounts for our growth
and prosperity. Another cause has been the
development of our railroad system. Among
the number the Northern Pacific has made
ST. Paul its permanent headquarters, and i.
now erecting splendid building for its gener
al offices. .
