Old debts have been settled, u new kite bought for a cit hall, a large amount of street work put under way, quite a bit of it finished, large amounts of legislation put on the record books of the city: in fact, there has been a gnat improvement in all ways and hues about the city. There are a few legacies the old council will hand down to th'- new among them being the occu pation tax ordinance, the plumbing ordinance, a telephone franchise, and some unsettled street work. I trust the new council will have pleasant sailing during its term."
