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.
