"But there can be no room for contentment or unquestioning self- ati faction. Rather let past achievements prove a spur to still
greater efforts and yet nobler attainments. In this spirit, I wish new Mayor and Council the fullest measure of success in all beneficent undertakings for our c~ty' s ~elfar~; and I would .con~!

For our brethren and companion sake , wa w fain beseech H aven bles ·mg upon thee. For the ake of all w hearts are uplifted to the One Heavenly Father, may the .&nefi Guardian of all human habitations bestow only good upon all who
