 After the regular business had been transacted Commissioner Goodrich said "A few months ago member of this board lay dangerously i'll at his home while we were Lolding our regular meetings. Commissioner Martin arose in his place and with words of kindness moved the passage of a resolution con- vcying to the commissioner and his family our sympathy in their trouble and hopes for hls speedy recovery. To night the scene is changed. Commis- sioner Kelley is present with us, and it is my painful duty to announce the death of my colleague, Commissioner Martin. He passed quietly away this morning at 6 o'clock. He needs nc eulogy from me, yet I cannot let the opportunity pass without expressing my regard for him. He was the senior member of this board and was ever ready to do his share of the work which we were called upon to perform. ] shall ever look back with pleasure upon my associations with him. He was always kind, genial and contiding, earnestly working for the best interests of the department. We cherish his memory tonight and say, "Well done good and faithful servant" In closing MT Mayor, I would move that a com. mittee be appointed to draft resolutions appropriate to the memory of our late associate, Thomas R. Martin, to be pre- sented to this board for their considera l tion."
 1 Commissioners Goodrich and Reiley were appointed a committee to draw UT the resolutions and after several minutes presented the following:
 l WHEREAS, it has pleased God to re move the senior member of this board Thomas R. Martin, therefore, be it
 RESOLVED, that we deeply mourn his untimely death and deplore the public loss sustained in his decease, which de prives the city of the services of one o It's most able, earnest and faithful ser wants, and this board of one of It's wises councillors. We mourn his loss as friend and citizen and extend to hi bereaved family our warmest sympathy in their great affliction."
 The report was adopted and the board voted to attend Commissioner Martini funeral.
 Before adjournment Commissioner Mcdonald and Reilly spoke feelingly O the deceased, whom they had alway found honest and upright. Thei opinions upon public matters were no always the same, but whatever the diff ferences the friendly feeling betweel them had never been strained.
