IV.— Review of General Position.
I have much pleasure in stating that the work, in all its
branches, continues to develop; the general position evidences a
pronounced tendency in the direction of steady progress; and the
loyal co-operation of all concerned is worthy of special note. The
re-ults obtained during the last few years are extremely gratifying,
especially in view of the difficulties which arise as a natural result
of the phenomenal growth of the Borough.
