that there will be a hot fight over the
election. and already candidates ere be-
ginning 20 appear for the places on the

chosen by the council.
A large part Of tine town is in favor Of
fhe reelection Of the entire old council
and il is asserted by this faction that
II all the present members are willing
to serve again there will undoubtedly be
no changes.
II is argued by these people that under
the present administration the town has
advanced as it never had before. and that
the work done has been OF the greatest
benefit TO the town. The waterworks and
sewage system which are almost the
only works Of that sort in any suburb
Of Washington, have been the chief un-
dertaking Of this administration and il is
Acknowledged by nearly every citizen of
Takoma that they have added greatly 20
the attractiveness OF the town and in
h this way to present and prospective prop
erty values

II is possible that "a compromise may be
