On October 10, 1949, the Board of Aldermen of the City of Newton, Mass., at its regular meeting unanimously adopted a resolu tion presented to the Board by Alderman John C. Beale with these remarks, "Mr. President: This is a belated acknowledgment of the public service of a man who has given the best years of his life to the City of Newton. But, as the resolution says, he has set us an inspiring example. The citizens of Newton are fortunate that Mr. Bartlett's spirit of devoted service is reflected today in their City Government-from the top right down the line. I am sure Joe Bartlett will understand our good intentions and will be from his old associates. I move the adoption of the resolution."

The resolution: "Whereas, a distinguished citizen of Newton, Joseph W. Bartlett, ended 29 years of faithful service as City Solicitor on July 1, 1949, after a notable record without parallel in the annals of Massachusetts municipalities, and

Whereas, Joseph W. Bartlett has been an inspiring example of unselfish devotion to the public weal over these three decades, giving his time and energy far beyond the demands of his office, ably advising the members of any City Governments, being always available for counsel, and saving the City untold sums through his mas erly handling of its legal work, therefore

Be It Resolved: That the Board of Aldermen of the City of Newton hereby expresses deep gratitude to Joseph W. Bar lett for his many years of fidelity to our City and its interests, and wish him many more years in our midst, and be it

Further Resolved: That a copy of these resolutions be sent to our good friend and counsellor, Joseph W. Bartlett, suitably engrossed and signed by all the members of the Board."
