ltion that the city shall erect an
addition to such Y NJ. c. A. build
ing suitable for q gymnasium below
and a public auditorium OH the
second floor, as l understand the
proposition about to be made. The
proposition viii undoubtedly reach
the council for consideration in the
near future and you will give the
project such consideration as you
think it merits and deserves.
There are a number of other mat
ters I have in mind deserving of
your thought and consideration,
but / have chosen to treat them
separately from time to time as
future OCCASIONS may arise.
We are the chosen servants OF
I the people. They have trusted us
to do their will. Let US now dedi-
cate ourselves anew to the task of
rendering as efficient service as
we are capable. Our official po-
sitions are not remunerative from
financial point of view and
sometimes our pathway is beset
with difficulty and Encouragement.
Official conduct is not often praised
by those who may approve of our
acts while those who disapproye
of the conduct of public officers Of
tentime lend emphasis to our trou-
bles, inasmuch as the critics are
always on the job. Unjust criti-
cisms however, though prompted
from the highest motives, falls of
its own weight whenever applied
to public officials who have faith
fully pursued a course of action
consistent with that time honored
doctrine that public office is a
public trust"
