Gentlemen of the City Councils: —One year ago, on assuming the position of mayor, I stated that I realized that the power of the mayor was limited, and after one year's serivce as such I can repeat from experience that the power is limited to presiding over the city councils, the school board, and the board of overseers, with a casting vote only in each, and the duty of signing bills ap- proved by these different boards. The mayor can appoint one officer, that of auditor, subject to the approval of the board of aldermen. It appears to me that the mayor should have some authority, and that some steps should be taken to amend the city charter so that the person to whom the people look for some policy should have the power to adopt one. I have watched the proceeding with a great deal of in- terest and have learned that, with few exceptions, the fixed charges of the city are of such a nature that only a small amount of saving can be made and .hat the high taxes which have pre- vailed in our city must continue; but I do recommend that each and every department be given the amount of money they ought to have and taxes assessed accordingly; so that we imay at least pay as we go, and not add to the indebtedness of our city, year after year, until we are obliged to take up that indebtedness with an issue of bonds. The financial affairs of our city are becoming serious and I invite your atention to these matters at a date prior to the pass- age of the annual appropriation bill, so that each member of the city council may know that it is up to them. The city council is composed of an unusual number of re-elected members and the city ought to have the benefit of its experience of last year. The board of overseers has an important work in trying to care for the poor, and the actions of this board are open to criti- cism more than any other set of men in our city government. There are.undoubtedly, some abuses which are hard to correct, as the matter of assisting the poor is a difficult one. It is a ques- tion whether the present system is better than the one practised 9 many years ago. It seeims to me that there would be less liability to abuses under the old system. This department is getting to be an expensive one and larger than it ought to be with the usual activity in all our industries.

The woodworking tools that Moxon describes and the processes he explains have remained remarkably unchanged during the intervening centuries. To be sure, we might now use fancier mate- rials for some of our tools – investment-cast bronze, ductile iron, A2 steel. But a fore plane is still a fore plane, and it is still used in the same manner to make rough boards into smooth ones.

  • Single Page Documentation with Viscountess Leyla, OL, Mka Margaret Deppe, Phd
    Single Page Documentation with Viscountess Leyla, OL, mka Margaret Deppe, PhD Did you, or are you going to, undertake an A&S project? Is it for display only, or will you enter it in a formal competition? Will there be a populace bean count or similar informal tally? Providing information beyond the item itself can make the difference between your item looking “OK” on the table and standing out as a really nice project, even if your documentation only fits on one sheet of paper! Now, we’re not writing a novel here…. If your project is very complicated, you will need more than one page to fully describe the background research, how you went about deciding what to make and how to make it, and so on. But the single page format can still be useful as a cover page for large projects. Simple projects can often be documented on one page in “short form,” and for a display, that one page can tell passers-by little details that aren’t evident but matter in the larger scheme of things. Using one sheet of paper (letter or legal size), you can provide a summary of your project in a layout that is fast and easy to read and illustrates your research and interpretation. The “thumbnail” example works as a cover sheet for a complex project. The “short form” documentation example will work for simple A&S entries. The “simple summary” example provides basic info to a casual audience but leaves a lot out, so doesn’t work so well for competitions, but is excellent for displays and bean counts.
