We -will be faced with a harder task this year owing to an increase in relief, and I hope that we will all forget any person- al feelings that may exist and remember that we are only the cus- todians of the ratepayer's money and do noJr wish to force them,' too, on relief. If we allow our generosity to get the better of us,and we all have a :pne±±xt natural inclination that way, we shall not be able to carry the load to the end of our annual journey of twelve long months. Particularly must we all remember that it is not our own money that we would be generous with. It is essential that we get down to work right away and get our budget ready. I neec, not say that it must be a balanced budget, for you all recognize that. The hardsurfacing policy must not be neglected, as you are all aware, and while thanking you individually for your harmonious co-operation of last year, I feel that everything worked. out so well that the same committees should remain in iftmmmm office. In conclusion,I trust that the same friendly spirit and co-operation will mark the progress of another most successful year. I thank you. S.Mussallem.
