c,entlemen. ] ann happy to meet and

Gentlemen, am happy to meet and
greet you, as the honorable mayor and
council Of the city OF Sank Centre, There
will be great things expected OF you;
which hope you will be able with the
help OF wise Providence so to arrange
and adjust that no one will be disap.
pointed; but that every act that receives
your approval shall be for the best in
terest of our city. Ever keep the law
before you. Some people in their zeal for
some pet reform would put the law be-
hind them and become law unto them
selves. This may answer for time, but
in the end will prove ruinous; you must
rise above self. Have no pet schemes,
but whatever you do let it be done for
the whole people of the city. But there
is no need for me to caution you. The
people have made wise choice in
selecting you to look after their interests
for the coming year.
Again thanking the council for their
kindness to me and the people for their
confidence i'll me, I9main eyer your he'll
per and well wishcr,
Just Common
w. D. TOWNSEND.
