|REIQY HON0RED
AT TESTIMONIAL
Speakers Praise Achieve
ments in Political Frat
ernal Circles

Alderman Thomas Reidy was
hailed by more than $50 friends at
testimonial dinner last night at
Mulligan restaurant. Speakers
praised his accomplishments in
politics and fraternal organizations
and cited the high esteem in which
he is held by members of all par
ties and factions.
Mayor Vincent A. Scully declared
that Mr.. Reidy was typical of the
new blood in the board of alderman
His judgment and patience, he said,
would act as valuable check on
the enthusiasm Of more impulsive
younger members. The mayor told
the gathering that Mr.. Reidy was
an asset to the Democratic party
and the city government.
Henry Smithwick said that he had
always found in Mr.. Reidy an und-
erstanding of problems of the day.
Few men, he said, were possessed
of such excellent judgment.
Fire Marshal Dennis j. Lahey
contrasted the present Democratic
majority on the board of alderman
with the complete absence of Demo-
Gratis years ago. He declared that
Mr.. Reidy represented fine type
of public official.
Other speakers were Fire Chief
Thomas F. Cavanaugh, City Engi-
neer Charles A. Root, Michael
M. Shea.
The POSTMASTER. Raymond ].
Fitzpatrick, presented Mr.. Riedy a
gold watch and a purse on behalf
