the different improvement district boards and other city officials. I wish to call your atten
tion to the fact that the progress Fayetteville has made during the past two years is the .direct -
result of working in harmony,pulling together at all times for continued advancement of the
best interests of the City.
The public expects and demands the same class of service,and is enti-
tled to even better service,from all its officers than it has received in the past,and I be-
lieve that by constantly working together we can make an even better record during.the coming
two years than we have in the period just ending.
At the second regular meeting I shall present to your honorable body
a detailed statement of the financial condition of the different funds.
Very respectfully
ISgdO Allen Wilson,Mayor. "
