' Warden County Huron,'.
,Sir;-ee
We, the members of. Huron County
'Council for the year 1923 in Session
assembled, feel that this, the closing
meeting for; the year, is the oppor-
tune time to make known to you in
some tangible manner our esteem
for you personally and our appre-
ciation of your services as our Ward-
en during the year now closing.
During your term of office as
Warden, and in your many years of
service at the Council Board, you
have always shown a courtesy and
kindness to your fellow Councillors
that has won for you an abiding
place in our esteem, and you carry
with you as you relinquish you office
our very best wishes for your future
prosperity and happiness.
The year just closing has had its
difficulties to overcome, but in deal-
ing with all the matters coming be-
fore you. and us, you have always
shown a tact and judgment that has
marked your administration of the
affairs of the County as of real serv-
ice in the best interests of the Coun-
ty, and has won our admiration as
well as approval at all times.
As you retire from office full of
honours and with our hearty good
wishes and respect, we ask you to
accept this Caue as a small memento
of our regard and appreciation, and
trust that this will in a small way re-
mind:you, as you lean upon it in the
future,• that we all hold for you a
warm recollection of our association
at the Council Board.
In conclusion, we again extend to
you and your family all good wished
for continued good health and pros-
perity, and as we reach out the hand
of fellowship in bidding you "Good
-bye" for the present, we all join in.
the hope that we will have many op-
portunities in the future of renew-
ing our old friendships.
Again assuring you, Mr. Warden,
of our high appreciation of your ser-
vices as Councillor and Warden, we
all join in extending to you hearty
wishes for the future.
