Mr.. Pou had made a speech e.
pressing his appreciation for the
pleasant association he had enjoyed
from his several years of service, and
said farewell to the present commits
sioners and the large number of

by City Attorney John B. Jones to

Jones then in a speech full of mean

commissioner.
Mr.. POu was again on his feet, and
when he began to express his appre-

He did say that he left the office
