THE new administration of this
city will find itself very much in
the public eye and cannot expect
to escape severe criticism. The
circumstances under which the
revolution in the city government
occurred inSures this and the
members Of the council must be
dOubly careful to avoid any action
that may unnecessarily subject
them to criticism. The least APP
pearance Of faVOritiSm in making
appointments, or the suspicion
that such appointments are per-
sOnal rewards for services during
the late contest, will be severely
animadvested upon. The council
cannot expect to escape the CEN
sureS of their enemies, but they
should act as not to unnecessarily
expose them to such cenSureS.
Their supporters expect clean re-
cord and an able corps of city
officials.
