Trustees to be chosen at the next cleo

the Trustees are to be selected BY the
Common Council Of each Incorporated

question: from the arena Of politics, and
VIC hope no Council will disgrace itself

the Council, however, renders il doubly
necessary that the people should be very
careful whom they elect to that position.
