Mayor Lyons made the following re- marks: Gentlemen of the Council: When a man rises to power, he finds himself face to face with realities which were but vaguely preceived when they were theorized about in his hours of leisure. Gentlemen, I desire to express to you my appreciation of the courtesy shown me as mayor and your pre- siding officer. I am sure that the efforts of this body have been con- centrated in the accomplishment of the greatest good for our entire people, and the progress and betterment of our city. I sincerely trust that these , same conditions may prevail with the new council in the next two years. I congratulate your body upon the ef- ficiency displayed by your appointive officers and employes. They have been prompt in the discharge of their duties, economical in their work and the results have shown- that you se- lected well, when you named the heads of the different departments to aid you in the conduct of the city's affairs, and I hope the new council will use good judgment when they make these appointments. Nov, gentlemen, the campaign Is over and its conclusion brought to me a sense of relief. No matter what the result might be, I felt I had done all within my power to bring success to the people of Dubuque, for which I worked, and that however smal my contribution to the cause of the people might have been, I could expect the same commendation which the Bible tells us, was accorded to the woman who had done what she could. To my successor, Mr. Saul, the name of the council, the interest of which you must guard, will ever be dear to me as the room to whose influence I shall trace whatever success coming years may bring. I thank th.• -mem- bers of the city council for their watchful care and shall ever cherish your association with that devotion which sincere gratitude ins,ires. Now, gentlemen, you have my heartfelt wish for a successful career, may your fu- ture efforts be crowned with unbound- ed success, and to you, Mr. Saul, Du- buque's next mayor, success is brought by continued labor and continued watchfulness you must struggle on, not for one moment hesitate, nor take one backward sten. I now wish you success to the highest place among the enviable possession of the city. Mayor Saul made the following re- marks: Members of the City Council and Gentlemen. In taking the office of mayor I have only a few words to say. Anyway the public does not want words but ac- tions. And no matter how much I might promise, this administration will be judged not by promises but by results. I am satisfied to have it judged that way. The democratic party made its cam- paign this year on a platform. As far as lies in my power that platform shall be carried out. My administra- tion will be honest. will favor no one, and will be as economical as the best interests of the city will permit. Though I was elected on the dem- ocratic ticket, I will be mayor of the whole city. Every man will get a square deal. I have no sore spots, no hard feelings, for I believe that all must work together for the good of Dubuque. I will do the best I know how for the service of the city, and I expect every official and employe of the city to do the same. And, as I said be- fore, I shall be satisfied to let the results tell the story. C. E. Fitzpatrick Co., Expense. 13 11 Smith - Morgan Ptg. Co., Ex- pense 22 25 M. S. Hardie, Expense • 158 65 F. M.
