i Mistaken Idea.

1t seems to be the opinion Of
good many Of our people that the
mayor Of the towa controls its af-
fairs. Such is not the case. The
mayor has, probably, less to do
wi them a ;eme It Of th> towns
affairs than any other officer. lie
is oaly presiding officer, and has
no voice only when there is a tie
in the vote Of the aldermen, and
that can never be when the five
aldermen are present. He has
nothing to d. with the levying OF
taxes or the expanding Of money
in any way. The greater respou-
slbility rests upon the aldermen.

so is sadly mistaken. No section
