Greeting:
We are now in the midst of great
prosperity, for which we should be tru-
II thankful to Almighty God for his
great mercies, ever remembering that
to Him we owe our all
In taking my seat as Mayor, do so
with the full knowledge that it is by
the advice and consent of the people.
1t is my earnest desire and sincere
wish they may never have cause to
this exalted position.
The best news I can convey to you
at this time is the assurance that your
tax rate will not be over $3.50 per hun
dred for the year 1906. This rate is
fixed by the Legislature as being the
highest that can be charged, and every
assurance is given that the law will
not be repealed.
The Mayor and Council has been
elected by the people to do something
Ito accomplish something. We re-
cognize the responsibility and we say
to you that by your help and assis-
tance we propose to purchase the
plant OF the Paulsboro Water Com
pany, to build a gas plant and light the
Borough, build new city hall for the
use of the town, in which all the Bor-
ough business may be concentrated, in
stall a sewer system on Broad and
3 Delaware Streets, as it is badly needed,
there being a number of cess-pools on
Broad Street which are menace to
the public's health; they should be
abolished.
Delaware Street in particular is sad
Ii in need of improvement; it should
be wider and improved by either maca-
dam or vitriied brick; the sidewalks
on this street should be cemented
from Broad Street to the railroad on
both sides, as it is the main approach
I to and from our station. This also ap-
plies to Chestnut Street, SO far as the
sidewalks are concerned
It is our purpose to prevent people
from obstructing the sidewalks and
passing remarks about pedestrians;
End as you desire good government it
r ll be your duty to help in this work.
Reeognizing the difficulties in being,
able to procure improvements, we hive
deemed 1t wise to appoint a cQnSmit=
tee consisting Of orr fore most fepre
senta I'VE lzesis All yefs who
viii assist rs to the Utmost cf their
ability their I'D ia I1Eence
shal now no politics Of any
kind % oar admin is tfation but v II re-
eognize fitness.
All our interests being identical,
we must therefore work for a COM
mon IMPROVEMENT This
Should mean strenuous exertions on
the part of all.
We will deem it a courtesy as well
as a pleasure to receive suggestions in
writing from any of our citizens look
ing toward permanent improvements
ask you to help me make the year
1906 memorable in the annals Of Pauls-
borO; to put your shoulder to the
wheel and help me push it along I
mean you.
Yours Sincerely
WILLIAM g. ADAMSON.
