First: 1 want to extend to our re- firiruc President, .Mr. Morrison, my personal recotrnition of his faithful ami very etiicient services during the term now drawing to a clo.se. 1 know the majority,    if not thc entire tiAvn,    will
their attention to the condition of the block on I'ortertield Place extending from Bay View Avenue West to Third Place, a block' that h^^been almost im- pasisahle and an "eye .sore" to all the residents of that section. .N'ot only is the road almost impassable, huf an un.sightly harn stands boldly out on thc sidewalk of the roadway with foundations altnost gone uml very un¬ sightly. I have learned that there has been" some controversy over the oli- sti-uctioii; viz, as to who is responsible for the e.xistence of this conditicm, which certainly is a drawback to the growth of this part of the town.

Freeport, as far as I can ob.serve, is not a town of large individual wealth. There are not many millionaires among us, perhaps none.
