THE MAYORS PROCLAMATION
A Review OF Last Years Work
and Few Recommended
tons for the Coming
Year
Year.

meeting on last Tuesday night, and pub
llshed by request of the Council
To the Hon. Council and Citizens of
Broken Bow, Nebr
In entering upon another years
work as Mayor there are few recon.
mendations which 1 wish make to the
members of the Council, and few
suggestions to the citizens In general.
/ wish first to thank the officials
of last year for the courtesy and con-
sideration which they have at all times
extended to me, and which has great
ly hghtened the burdens and smooth
ed the perplexities of my official
duties. 10 all matters pertaining to
the general welfare of the city the
Council has exercised good judgment
during the past year, and their work
has been productive of good results.
A pleasant feature has been the har
mony and good feeling which has at
all times existed. The members have
been energetic and alive to the In
terests of the city, even to the extent
of neglecting their own business af
fairs. Due diligence has been used
in all departments of the municipal
government, but especially is this true
in keeping the general order and
moral tone of Broken Bow in good
shape. No town in the state has a
better standing in this regard and our
citizens may we'll feel proud of this
fact. To the City Marshal, Police
Judge and City Attorneys, who have
served during the past year, is due a
great share of the credit of this most
excellent condition.
REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES
1t will no doubt be of interest to
tine citizens to know just what reve,
nues have been derived by the city
during the past year and what dis
position has been made of these
funds therefore give a brief sum.
