possible, to have the ideas of my
constituents, without reference 20
politics or partisan afliliation, TO help
In the introduction and the enact
ment of such legislation as will really
prove of value, During the last ses.

cooperative suggestions and was
favored with a number of splendid
ideas.
trust that the good people of
