Excerpt from Annual Report City of Rochester: New Hampshire, 1925 Gentlemen of the City Council: In resuming the duties and obligations as Mayor of Rochester for the second time, I wish to thank the citizens for the honor conferred and for the confidence placed in me by again electing me to this office. At this time in beginning our thirty-fourth year as a city it will be best for us to look back upon the past a moment that we may get a better insight into the future. It is not my intention to assume all the credit for the success accomplished in the past year, because my committees have supported me most loyally in all cases. Whatever success may be attributed to this administration should be shared by all who participated in the government of the City. During the year our City has been improved to some extent. We have laid nineteen thousand eight hundred and eighty-two square yards of hot top on our City streets. Portland street has been graded and one coat of oil applied with very little expense. Sometime during the coming year, a good road can be made the entire length. Our rural roads have been kept in good repair throughout the summer.
