I J nm sure I can speak for every member of the council when 1 say that everything which may bo legal ly and properly done by tho town council to advance 'the hi t Inter- osts of Old Home Week will be, cheerfully and promptly done by , us. "Borough ordinances are enacted j for the ordinary government of our. borons;!! and I see no reason whyj extraordinary occasions like the j prcf.i'iit one may not be made an excentior.. and any ordinance hiih may In fir fere in any way with carry-i Inr out in every detail the et-r-, iuus and programme ought to be; and will be suspended for this oc-1 - asinn. The town council desires , further to my that as a bodv it i- as well us every individual member thereof, in full symnatliv and ac cord with Old Homo Week, and will he pleaded to assist in any vvay consistent with its ouTciiil duties in, making the occasion what It now j appears it must be, one which will' add to tho town's reputation for hospitality, generosity cud socio-i blllty. "As far as tiie regulations for' pence and order are concerned. I j believe nothing has thus far been left undone and we are ready to j give every assurance mat tue town will be paroled that no fear of the j sightest disorder may be uutici- 1 pated. The town itself being con-1 corned principally in tho event of a successful Old Home Week it would only seem proper town council should do that tho everything to pro efforts be- consistent with its duty mote nnd encourage the ing made by tho citizens' commit a model toe to make the occasion which other towns will copy. This is tho duty which seems to devolve upon us, nnd which we cheerfully accept. Tho location. the beautiful scenery and surround ings of our town; its historical and romantic, associations need only to be better known to be better ap preciated, and it is hoped that upon the return of those of our people who have been nbsent for many years they will find that at least the hospitality of tho people and of their ability to do things In the proper way, have not In nny way depreciated in the years that have Intervened. "Tho council will be always ready to receive suggestions and com munications from you regarding your further wants in the matter, with every nssurance of receiving tho fullest and most favorable con sideration.
