was compatible with producing eff
Gent and trustworthy public servants

4
all parts of the city might have rep.
resentation, but this, too, has proved
more or less difficult.
while there Is bound to be dis
satisfaction on the part of the dis
! appointed, / feel that the appoint
ments as a whole represent the best
material that can be found, and thai
have been successful in my CHIEF
endeavor, which was to find efficient
men and women.
"I cannot but feel that some citi.
zens have laid too much stress or
the Importance of individual appoint
ments, and that after all the wort
with which l am confronted is Of fal
greater Importance.
"This work has been greatly In
! terrupted by over-zealous efforts or
, the part of many persons to secure
appointments for themselves or theil
/ friends.
"From this time forth I shall de.
vote myself to the work Of my ad-
ministration and every citizen wh(
| wishes to take UP with me matters
relating to the welfare Of the city Of
| Newark, 1 shall be pleased to inter
view after January 1. My hours fol
such interviews will be from 10 t.
IL, at the mayors office in the City
