no greater than his predecessors if he
Toes not do something to cause his con
stituents to remember him. Therefore.
he favors experimenting with a ques-
fionable system of waterworks. We
have been here long enough for the PEG
pie to know us; we have ever favored
public improvements and we have writ
rem columns in the interest of this city
where this recent expensive importa-
lion has written line. We have spent
dearly seven years iaboring with an,
for this community while this modern
boomer has not devoted one year to
the good of the cause. So, we say, it
comes in POOR grace from Mayor Es-
mond, who, as citizen. can hardly be
said to be dry behind the ears to
publish such stuff as the following from
an article over his name in the Cresset

their children to school promptly at 8
