the importance of making this department efficient, if continued at all, and also the employment of practical builders and mechanics to discharge the duties, trusting that in the laudable effort to prune away from the City machinery all that is mere surplussage you will not make this important office so inefficient as to entirely destroy its usefulness, and we further petition that personal or partizan feelings may not be allowed to control your final action and with a firm belief that you will fully and carefully examine in to the question and we therefore urge upon your carful consideration the forgoing believing that the subject matter lies close to the best interests of our prosperous City.
