Dear Sir: We have assembled to- night to transact the last business of the year 1933, and would not wish this evening to pass without in some way expressing to you our apprecia- tion of the self sacrifice which was many times required, and willingly performed by you during the fifteen years you have served on this Com tnission. One of the many duties requiree of a Commissioner is tact in handling complaints, knowing when to give stern answer, or in turning wrath aside by giving a gentle answer, and in so' doing, you have rendered an in- valuable service to the consumers, who always found you open to con- viction, but when convinced, to stand your ground against all comers. You were a valued member of this Commission from it's infancy up un- til the end of. 1922, then again for four years to the pnesent time. Dur- ing this time many important mat- ters have come before the Commis- sion, requiring` untiring energy. Twice you have been faced with a water supply shortage, and always you have given your whole mind to the problem, with, we think, the most beneficial results to the consumer. We have learned with deep regret of your withdrawal from our Board, and know it is not because of lazi- ness on your part, but Time, who re- speets no man, has been marching onward, and we earnestly hope that you will be comforted and upheld in the golden glow of .your declining years, by thethought that you have really made this world of outs a bet ter and brighter place to live in. With our best wish for the . New Year, and that you may live to en- joy many more ,of them, we are, . .. Sincerely yours, W. T. HAWKINS, N.' W. TRE+WARTHA, Commissioners, Mrs.. Gillies and Mies Marion Gil- lies gave several delightful piano duets and the rest of the time was spent in jolly conversation. BREAKS HER HIP Mrs. A. E.
