Resolutions Of Respect.
Resolved. by the mayor and council,
That there be entered upon the records
OF their proceedings this expression OF
regret over the death Of Enoch Maris, a
pioneer of Takoma PARK and an estiu-
able and worthy citizen. Mr.. Maris
was interested at all times in the prog
rese and development Of the community,
had served our people In the capacity
Of mayor, and for several years previous
to his death was postmaster OF our
town. The mayor and council deplOre
his death, and they extend TO his widow
their tenderest sympathy in her affiic-
ton.
s.The mayor and council deem 1t fitting
that they give official expression TO the
sincere sympathy they feel In the great
sorrow that has come to their former
attorney, Judge Ashley NJ. Gould, IN
the death Of his devoted wife.
Though words express but feebly thu
emotions, however tender, yet grief is
sometimes assuaged in the knowledge
that the personal loss is shared by eacn
and every friend.
The mayor and council extend to
Judge Gould the deeper and sweeter
sympathy chat comes from the hearts
Of those who are neighbOrs, friends, and
