Conclusion
This in the main concludes the rec­
ord of activities of the Coos County

1, 1931.
We believe that the report
herewith submitted proves the merit
of the work and justifies its future
maintenance. In view of past accom­
plishments and plans for the future
we believe that a greater amount of
work can bo accomplished another
year.
