To the Honorable Board of Aldermen.
Gentlemen: In accordance with the
traditions of the office of Mayor OF
Frederick, it is my pleasure to address
you at the beginning of another fiscal
year and to congratulate you on the
success that has marked your admins
tratiOn, the careful and Jealous man
ner in which you have performed your
public duties, your marked devotion
to the highest welfare of the tax-pay-
ers, and your hearty cooperation IN
the work of all departments of the city
government, thus making success cas-
Ter and the conservation of public in
terests more lasting and durable.
The first year ofyOur administration
has been marked thus with trlumphs
gratifying indeed to the people, but
even amid the brightness a shadow
has falIer-,h, shadow of death. Ear
ly in the beginning of your elective
term you lost your able and affable
counsellor, the late e. V. 5. Levy, a
gentleman who in every degree meas
ured up to the highest standard of abil-
ity as a lawyer and impressed all who
knew him with his earnestness as a
citizen and stainless, stlf-reliant char
acter as a man performing his public
duty always with high and beautiful
sense of the trust which duty implies.
Recently the summons of death was
again sounded in your midst and your
fellow member, the late John Ebert,
was claimed. He was man closely
associated with the interests OF the
city, and cOnscientiOusly serving the
people with high sense OF the neces-
si!y for economy, coupled with proper
and reasonable regard for the value OF
public improvement. In his death
the city lost faithful solon and your
board faithful member.
Words of sorrow and regret for the

the living. In your new city counsel
lor, Mr.. P. Frank Pampel, you have
a gentleman whose record for brilliant
ability is sufficient guarantee of his
fitness for the honorable position of
trust and confidence to which you
have elected him. In Mr.. Charles f..
Poole, the Republicans of his ward
have elected as successor to Mr.. Ebert
gentleman who is thoroughly prac-
teal, understands the wants of the
people and will no doubt be in every
way in touch with the spirit of civic
pride that should prevail in the corpo-
rate bodies of every modern city, sink
ing party lines for the public good and
the highest interests of the whole COM
munity. !,
1t needs but glance at the record
of your years. work, gentlemen, to
show that many acts worthy of COM
mendation and congratulation have
marked your administration of the af-
fairs of Frederick. 1t is particularly
gratifying to me to notice that nearly
all the suggestions made to you in my
message of one year ago have been car
ried out. i'ne City Hall has been
/, thoroughly cleaned, reftted and re-
painted and is now brilliantly ilumi-
mated with electricity aud comfortably
