Nov that the duties which have de.

as we are about to part officially,
wish to take the opportunity to thank
you gentlemen for the unitormelv kind

Il also wish to congratulate you
upon a most successful and satisfactory
administration. This can do without
taking any of the honors of this work
upon myself as you all know that un.
der our present charter the mayor has
but little voice in the proceedings OF
this honorable body. No better dem
onstration or evidence of your good
work could be had than that part of
you who have so faithfully served your
people, have been elected to again take
up the reins and continue to aid in
administering the affairs of our city.
"As for myself, will say that dur
ing the two years have had the honor
of serving you as mayor, have en-
deavored to do my duty faithfully and
have always done all in my power to
carry out the wishes of our citizens and
uphold and enforce the laws of our city.
What success I may have attained in
this direction is in great measure due
to the hearty support and good council
have at all times received at your
hands. .*-
