It is felt, however, that a more complete and satisfactory plan should be adopted, whereby the public would be in- formed of specific problems and of the accomplishments of the Village govern- ment, this information coming directly from elective officials or one or more in- terested citizens, appointed to handle this important function. On behalf of the administrative organi- zation of the Village, I wish to express appreciation for the encouraging support and kindly cooperation and advice of the President and Board of Trustees in the work of the past year. Especially, do express my high regard for the retiring President, Mr. John S. Mil- ler, who for the past eight years has ziven most generously of his time and ability, in ways which possibly only those actively connected with Village work fully appreciate. IT wish to take this opportunity also of again acknowledging the able assistance and cooperation rendered in the admin- istrative work of the Village by the heads of the several departments and by the -ank and file of Village employees, with- out whose cooperation and faithful as- measure of success in the work past year would not have een of the possible. Respectfully submitted, H. L. WOOLHISER.

It is believed to be very essential that more attention be paid to the matter of publicity regarding Village affairs.
