adopted by the territorial Republican
central committee, the American flag.

portals and other obstructions have
been removed, and the laws and city
ordinances have been enforced better
than ever before A compromise has
been reached with the water com.
pany, by which better rates are db.
tanned, and the debt to it incurred un.
der Democratic administration has
been adjusted.
Third. We also highly approve oi

Board of Education has managed the
school affairs of the city. 1t has with
the assistance of the city council pro

the public schools of the city, and is
now using every effort to have the

which to erect suitable buildings there
on, and at other points in the city. II
procured a bill to be passed by the
legislature. authorizing the issue o.
bonds for this purpose. which could
have been readily sold, had it not beer
for the action of former Democratic
