HOPE CEMETERY.
The commissioners of Hope Cemetery asked for and received from the City Council, last year, a contribution of $500, for the purpose of grading the plot of land set apart by them for the interment of the remains which had been removed from the
5

Mechanic street burial ground. A visit to the spot selected for this purpose will convince any one that the money was well and judiciously spent. This attractive little knoll will be a perpetual source of comfort to those who shall hereafter visit the grounds containing the remains of their ancestors. Another contribu- tion should be made to improve the spot where lie the remains of those who were formerly buried in the old pine meadow grounds.
The question of purchasing more land adjoining this cemetery in the rear, while it can be had for a small outlay, will probably be brought to your attention by the commissioners. This already beautiful cemetery is being improved, year by year, under the faithful management of its able board of commissioners, every member of which should be retained in office so long as he is. willing to serve.
PUBLIC LANDS.
I desire to call your attention to the fact that the city is in possession of quite a large number of lots of unoccupied land for which it has no immediate use. As a matter of expediency, and in an economical point of view, I would advise that all of this land be put upon the market and sold during the present year ; the proceeds thereof, as provided by city ordinance, to be added to the general sinking fund. I would also recommend that a part, at least, of the unoccupied land belonging to the Boston and Albany Railroad Co., situated between Mechanic and Foster streets, be purchased by the city, provided it can be had at a reasonable price. A part of this land could be profitably used at once as a site for a central police station, and, in connec- tion with it, a general market place, where farmers and others could be furnished with convenient stands for wood, hay, and other commodities brought by them to the city for sale. This lot of land is central, and will be needed, in the near future, for public purposes. It may be necessary to apply to the legisla- ture for authority to make this purchase, and, if so, I recommend that application be made at an early day.

MAYOR'S ADDRESS.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion permit me to add, that it has been my purpose to state to you, at this time, in as brief and concise a manner as possible, the present condition of our municipal affairs, and to indicate to you some of the more important business that will engage your attention during the year that is before us. I have a right to expect your hearty co-operation in every earnest effort made by me to carry into successful operation whatever may conduce to the public welfare. With the aid and support of so large and intelligent a body of representative men, I shall pro- ceed to the performance of my duty with courage and indepen- dence, and with a firm and determined purpose, that, so far as my personal influence is concerned, no public enterprise shall languish, no individual right shall be invaded, and no harm shall come to the fair fame of our beloved city, during the year that her interests are entrusted to our keeping.
Many things conspire to make the future of our beautiful inland city of sixty thousand people bright and prosperous. Let us rejoice that we are surrounded by a cultivated and intel- ligent constituency, and that our lines are fallen in pleasant places ; and, in so doing, let us strive to merit the honor which has been conferred upon us by a confiding people.
