trust it is not necessary for me to
| state that these recommendations are not
rendered with any assumption of super
Tor wisdom.la They are simply the results
of a year of carefulfand unprejudiced
observation. No man is fitted to fill any
executive or Legislative Office in your city
who mo see at the end of his term
many things which should be accomplish

well being Of its citizens. The present
council have had crowded upon them a
vast amount of work which could no be
delayed and thus; some of the matters

administration will doubtless be able to
devote more time to the consideration of
the general affairs of the city.
l take this opportunity to tender to
each member of the council and to all the

is unlucky or inauspicious. Her presence
is stunned; she is leper Of society, doom
