the village president are rlmply in a sense a board of directors whose duty and privilege it is to look after your wel fare nnd we stand rendy at all times to extend to you a hearing on mat ters pertaining to your welfare you have elected me on a platform that was rlear-cut nnd easlfy under stood one of its predominant fea tures was that of holding the village meetings at night this to my mind is a crying nee<l for this village bs it ennhles that element whose business takes them out of the village to he present nnd to present any proposi tion which is pf njutual interest to themselves

come in for adverse criticism but if mistakes should creep into my ad | ministration t can assure you thev will simply be mistakes or business judgment i expect and i know that i will have the hearty co-operation and sup j port of thp hoard of trustees in nil | things which in their judgment are 1 sound business policy for the good and benefit of the village the balance of 0fl,:?0fl.o7 ob hand iltws not seem to me to be a workable amount as it includes the memorial fund to he used for a library site and a balance from the bond issue for the water and light plant there fore i would like to hove from hie treanrer a report showing balances on hand that are not obligated nnd any amount that may liave been transfer red from other funds i find that the roads are in bad condition the street commissioner should not be interested in tiny way directly or indirectly in any contract ing or holding company that is work ing for the village therefore we should select n man whose connec tions cannot be questioned the removal of giirbnge is a nr problem and i think it should be han dled by the village without a con tract plans to he worked out by the board so that we may have full value for
