MAYOR SENTER, At the closing meeting of the City Government of 1881-2, in response to the RESOLUTION OF THANKS. Alderman Chapman offered the following, which was un­ animously adopted: Resolved, That the thanks of this Board be and are here­ by tendered to His Honor, Wm. Senter, Mayor, for the im­ partiality of his rulings in presiding over our deliberations; for his courteous treatment in the general business incident to our relations with him, and our best wishes for his future happiness as we sever our official relations. Mayor Senter responded as follows: MAYOR SENTER'S RESPONSE. G-entlemen of the Board:—I take occasion in separating from this Board to thank you for the support and assistance you have rendered me in my endeavor to discharge the du­ ties which devolved upon me; also to make a few general remarks incident to the occasion. But a few years since, and our financial condition was not hopeful. Through the efforts of our predecessors, a system of economy was established, which has been partially suc­ cessful. Two years has produced a very decided and satisfactory change in the condition and prospects of our city. The change is due to the share we have had in the general pros­ perity of our country, and to the increase in the general and legitimate business of our State, in our lumber, commercial and fishing industries, and the increase of the trade and manu­ factures of the city. The promise is good for the future. The same course pursued by the City Government for a few years to come, which has marked its business for a few years past, will soon make our taxes too light to be burden­ some. 2 10 REMARKS OF MAYOR SENTER. In a few years our bonds, at their maturity, can probably be refunded at a lower rate of interest than we are now pay­ ing, our interest in the Portland & Ogdensburg be disposed of to the reduction of our debt, and the increase of taxable property will go far to reduce our taxation.

    On the Prom On the Prom Spring Edition Promenade Towers Quarterly April 2013 Community Room Project Completed views on the Eastern Prom as one of Portland’s hot spots. A recent article in the Portland Press Herald described Munjoy Hill as the city’s most desirable neighborhood—a walkable neighborhood with restaurants, coffee shops and bakeries. That and a sense of community are some of the reasons that realtors called the Hill the “hip place to be.” That’s no surprise to those of us who live at Promenade Towers. We enjoy walking to local shops and restaurants, as well as to the Old Port. On summer evenings we can walk to concerts sponsored by Friends of the Eastern Promenade at the Bandstand in Fort Allen Park.
