SLACK RECITES
CITY PROGRESS
IN TWO YEARS
Civic Cooperation Praised
in Farewell Address
at Inaugural.

Successful operation of a city adj
ministration depends upon active
cooperation of "all the resources
available for civic progress" retir-
ing Mayor L. Ert Slack declared to-
dav In his farewell address at the
Inauguration of Mayor Reginald H
Sullivan.
Mayor Slack thanked the citizenry
for the cooperation extended him
and urged that it be continued IN
der the new administration.
Before welcoming the new mayor
Slack gave a brief summary OF his
stewardship.
Task Accomplished
Listed as administration accom-
plishments were the payment OF
long standing accounts, widening
and paving of streets, creation OF a
utilities commission to take over
the Citizen Gas Company, improve
ment of English avenue, purchase OF
the municipal airport and improve
ment and expansion of city hospital.
"The particular task I had IN
mind upon assuming the office OF
mayor two years and two months
ago" Slack declared, was that OF
helping to create better pubic
spirit among our citizens, to produce
public confidence in our city and
especially in our city government
and to obtain larger and more en-
thuSiastic activity and cooperation
of our combined resources OF CIVIC
life and organization.
"This task actually was accom-
plished some months ago. The re-
Spouse to the change beginning
with my election and the election OF
the present city council, was not
only immediate and pronounced,
but the effect and result plainly in
dicated how quickly the reputation
of a city may be changed by the
activity Of its citizenry.
Pays Tribute
public officials can not, Of them
selves alone, carry to successful
conclusion the progress and achieve
mentS necessary to efficient and
proper administration of city gov
eminent. They may, if so inclined
and qualified; point and lead the
way. Successful operation depends
further upon unselfSh and active
cooperation of all the resources
available for civic progress. When
this combination can be obtained,
YOU can have good government and
great progress in any city in this
country
Appointments Made
Tribute was paid to the council
men. who, Slack said, were elected
as part of the general revival of
public spirit in our city"
Newspapers also were thanked for
their cooperation in both news and
editorial columns. .,
Fifty-nine Democrats and twenty
one Republicans were appointed to
the police department and twenty
nine Democrats and six Republic
ans to the fire department during
his administration he said.
Slack used these figures to ex-
plain there always are many more
applicants than jobs available in any
city administration.
1T is a great pleasure to me-" he
concluded, ito turn over the affairs
of the mayors office for the next
four years to Mr.. Sullivan, who was
duly elected to the position of mayor
by an unprecedented vote of the
majority of voters at the last city
election"
