VALEDICTORY ADDRESS.
arduous duties by advice, suggestion or co-operation, I am well repaid by the friendships formed here, and by the thousand courtesies received at your hands. Regretting that I have not been able to discharge the duties of Mayor more acceptably, I retire with a great sense of relief and with personal satisfaction, content to be classed with my one-term predecessors, Mayors Lincoln, Bullock, Rice, Aldrich, Ball, Earle, Verry and Davis.
You who retire, and you who continue, have reason to feel that . you deserve the honor of your fellow-citizens for the faithful service you have rendered in the City Council of 1882. Please accept my sincere good wishes for your future welfare and happi- ness. To the accurate and accomplished City Clerk, to the wise and careful Auditor, to the genial and valuable, though over- worked Treasurer, and not less to the heads of the other de- partments, who quietly, unostentatiously and courteously have attended, in season and out of season, to the manifold details of work on the streets, sewers and water supply, under the careful inspection of our intelligent and skilled Engineer, I return thanks personally, and in behalf of the city. It is with the greatest satisfaction that I testify to the harmonious working of all branches of the City Government during the year 1882. And, gentlemen of the City Council, whenever we meet, I trust that our relations may be no less cordial than they have been during the year that now comes to an end.
