not at all satisfactory, due to the fact that tbe
old equipment is still in use, we expect vers

CEMETERIES.
The report of the Cemetery Committee shows
that department to be in good condition finan.
cially, and know of no special OUTLAY reouir
ing any appropriation in this department.
PUBLIC LIBRARY
AS the public library is now included in the
city's business, am pleased to state that the
trustees report a most excellent condition OF
affairs at this institution. It is becoming more
and more literally patronized; in fact, the pat.
ronage has so increased that the rooms are now
crowded at times, and it is to be hoped tha,
some philanthropic individual will donate, OF
bequeath, sufficient sum to enable the addi-
ton of much needed space.
And now, as we enter upon the duties incum-
bent upon us the servants of our fellow-cit
zens, let US work together like brothers, let us
payne heed to the clamor or influence of those
who would create dissension in our midst, and
let us show to our fellow-citizens, that every
man they have elected to this honorable body
is sufficiently broad minded to consider the in.
terests of the city at large and place them
above any minor interests that might conflict
with them.
shall extend to each and every member of
! this body all the aid that is in my power
invite you to come to me at any time that you
may desire help in your work, and l want you
to feel just free to claim my assistance if
you have been elected by those who oppose me
though you had been elected by my friends
l shall know no difference and shall endeavor
to treat you all with the same courtesy, and
greet you with the same friendly feeling.
