item atl rc.1tse the ptoptrty Of continued effort
on tue pat our .itizenS, 10 reduce tie cNpeRdI
tures aud 10 bring theln within ptopet limit. The
late Council deserves credit 70: having failed 10
equal tlcit predecessors IN extravaganza. Indeed
they have been quite economical for a Wheeling
Council, aud have done better Than We expected.
They have sanctioned tut few expenditures which
wete nDt necessary IN whole antl IN part. They
have Ie.n the me ias OF losing considerable sum
Of city revenue, in which we think they have cItei
without producing the moral results they proposed
tpptpluct. Hut this by the way. There ate many
other items OF reform which have mol been attempts
ell, which we pfOpos: 10 advert TO IN Il few days.
In Tie neal time tile election Is apprjacils and
lnDrc than ever DO We Ieed the best men in our
city for the council. The financial matters Ul the
city for Ibis year will ~ very important aud will
l,quile the best heads that can he engaged. The
various itcms OF receipts for tie city Should be
reasonably enlarged, an! there nfe various ways in
which lbs can belone, and il must be done IN order
10 meet our current expenses and create proper
sukine fund fot tic final extnguislneni OF Unl

about them aud select proper persons for all then

time is shot and no ole should act hastily ia Tie
premises, but unless they do 50 they will lind occa
sion 10 regret Their neglect. rlematter cannot be-
too carefully considered. Let us have a subslan
tial business council and much will have been nc.
complished.
