Excerpt from Address of the Hon. John S. Sleeper, Mayor, to the City Council of Roxbury, Delivered Before the Two Branches in Convention, January 5, 1857 Another year is added to the records of time. The city authorities, so lately assembled in these halls, to consult together on the subject of the public good, have passed away. Anew government has been formed, and you, gentlemen, selected by our fellow citizens, to watch over the interests of all, comprising the City Council for 185 '7, having taken the oaths of office, have entered upon your serious and responsible trusts. Allow me gentlemen, to congratulate you on the blessings, which by the kind mercies of a Divine Power, have been extended to our city, during the past year. Order has been preserved in our midst the laws have been respected; crime has hardly kept pace with our growing population our city is rapidly increasing in wealth; and the solid advantages which are offered good citizens to take up their residence among us, are not surpassed, if they are equalled in any of the neigh boring cities or towns, and are multiplying every year.
