Pasadena, California,
March 19, 1919
Mr.. Edmund Wilson,
My Dear Friend: I have received The
Belfast journal, and notice with pleasure
your final report to the 1918 city govern
ment, and | shall have to take off my hat to
you. wish to tender to you my heartfelt
congratulations at the splendid success
you have had, and l hope you will be the
choice of the new city government, and
that the same success may attend you in
all your future collections as tax collector
for the city of Belfast.
We have demonstrated to the citizens
of Belfast that taxes can be collected !;
but it requires hard work, long hours, and
the same executive ability that the mer-
chant puts into his business to insure
success.
The plan for a coalition city govern
ment has proved a success. | see the
same is to be continued this year, and it
is now just as it should be: select the
best men from both parties, and let them
feel when they accept and are elected
member of the city government, that
they will give to the city the same close
attention, and the same ability that they
would their own business If they all 90
there with that determination the busi-
ness of the city will be administered with
fidelity and cannot help showing good
results l hope party politics will never
come up again to control our municipal
elections, and | most devoutly hope the
day of inefficient collector of taxes has
passed and that only efficiency will be
accepted. The English Prime Minister
was success when he formed a coalition
cabinet: and so Belfast has proved that a
coalition city government is the only city
government to insure its success, and
should be continued. Again rendering my
congratulations and best wishes for your
continued prosperity, remain, as ever,
Your true friend,
EDWARD SIBLEY
We also publish with pleasure the fol-
lowing note from Mr. Wilson:
would like to inform the citizens of
Belfast that my success as collector is due
in great measure to the valuable advice
and assistance of Mr.. Edward Sibley,
Mayor c. w. Wescott, City Clerk Chas.
S. Bic kford, and also to my wife.
