Hon. E. w. Durant, when asked yes

that he should first detail some compe-

condition Of the municipality as to the
financial situation and police admins
tration and needs, and that upon the
report made to him after such re-
liable investigation would depend his
line Of official policy. He will assume
the reinS next week. Just forty-One
years ago next Tuesday, Young Durant,
then nineteen years of age, walked into
Saltwater fOotsore and troubled, and
for three years thereafter followed the
arduous and humble calling of raftSman

his home in Saltwater, which is hon.

residence and which has been pleased
to honor him by placing the local in
terests in his hands, that have never
failed to be extended in aid when his
fellow citizens indicated their need of
him.
