1 feel that the progress of the city of Albuquerque was placed In the hands of you gentlemen and that you have fulfilled the trust.

877 square yard: 1923, 338,387 square janis; In 1924. 457,242 square yards, showing that each year the citizens have demanded a greater paving program.

Our police department has proven that it Is one of the most efficient police departments in existence in any city of the United States, the same size of our city and even larger. We have about half enough men on our fire and police departments to properly man them, but the en tire city organization, In my Judgment, Is one of tlfe most efficient forces that can be brought together. I am proud of the balances left tn our various funds, and I am proud of the fact that the commission has lived up to its pledges and that we have saved the tax payers thousands of dollars, and It grieves ine deeply at this time to be compelled to present to your honorable body my resignation as chairman and a member of the city commission.
