It is also pleasing to see you all. present. I am satisfied that you all have 'discharged your duties faithfully and honestly. This has been a busy year. The different committees were very diligent with , their work, which made my duties very pleasant. Our expenditures were large in connection with some of our county properties. The dif- ferent committees felt the importance and the necessity to recommend the different improvements and repairs, to keep the county properties up to a certain standard, which will be an asset to the county.

The council will meet unofficially in caucus and will ro- bably use the ballot to determine which of the applicants is the pre- ference of the majpt'ity for the posi- tions and on assembling in council a motion will be made to appoint the ones thus selected.
