Twenty-Fourth Annual Report of the Receipts and Expenditures of the City of Manchester for the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 1869: Together with Oth

We have now reached the close of another municipal year, and are about to surrender up the trusts imposed upon us by our fellow citizens one year ago. Let me invite your attention, for a few moments, to a brief review of our official acts, that are so soon to become matters of history. This, it is proper we should do, no less that our acts may be placed upon record in justice to ourselves, than for the information of our successors. If our labors shall stand the scrutiny of time, it is no more than our right that the record thereof should be preserved; or, if the contrary prove to be the fact, we will be no less slow to have them reviewed by our constituents, confident that our intentions have been right, whatever errors of judgment we may have committed.
