Clarence E Woods. Retiring
Mayor Was Faithful To
His Trust.

Clarence Z. Woods, who served this
city as Mayor for the past fort years, re-
tired from Office at last meeting of the
city council handing over the reins Of
government to his worthy successor, Hon.
Samuel Rice. Before his election, four
years ago, Mr.. Woods frequently stated
that the height of his ambition was to
serve as Mayor of Richmond. His desire
being gratified, he Immediately put his
whole heart into the. work of giving our
people clean administration. That he
has succeeded in doing so, no one will
dispute.
During his term TO office, Mr.. Woods
has had to deal with some knotty prob
lens, but in every case he has acted ac-
cording to his best judgement, and alb
solutely without fear or favor. 1t was
due to his courage and frmness that the
saloons respected every law and were
well regulated, while no one will dispute
the fact that it was through the determin-
ed efforts of Clarence Woods more than
anyone's else that the local option laws
have been observed to the letter He be-
lieved in and insisted upon the strictest
system of conducting the business affairs
Of the City, and at any time it has been
possible for any citizen to look at the
books and see exactly how the public af-
fairs stood-a condition found in few
towns in Kentucky under the present
slip-shod laws of the State
In his eagerness for civic righteousness
and clean, progressive City, Mr. Woods
may have tread upon the corns of some
citizens, but The Climax is positive that
he believed he was doing what was best
for the greatest good TO the greatest
number, and not through any malice, for
such thing as animosity is not to be
found in his make up He lays down
his official work with the satisfaction of
knowing that the people appreciate his
endeavors and are deeply grateful for the
part he took in making Richmond one of |
the best towns in Kentucky. The Gil |
max, one of his best friends, joins in a |
hearty Well done, thou good and faith
