THE NEW COrNrII-MEN


When City Council shall meet for
the first time in July, there will he
several new men in that body.
1t is but fitting and proper that
some mention should be made Of
those gentlemen who are retiring
from public service as well as ofthose
who take up the burden thus laid
down by their predecessors.
The office of Councilmen is bv no
means a sinecure. True it is a post
OF honor but it is also one of ardu-
Gus duty. In APPLICABILITY there is
no one position in the gift of a CITY
that is fraught with more criticisms
than that OF City Legislator.
1t is a hard matter TO please every
body. Indeed it is simply impossible
to do so, and yet there are some
people unkind enough TO think or
claim that a City Father ouobt To
satisfy the whims of every constitu-
ent as when it represents a constitu-
ent. Humanity is made of clav II il
frail. 1t is sometimes very weak II
is just as weak when it is a constitu-
ent. There never will be a CITY Conn
ell, whose every act will please all
the people. That is an impossibilitv.
The gentlemen who are retiring to
the shades of private life have been
good councilmen. True, they have
not pleased everybody but their rec
ords show that they have voted their
convictions at all times and have
honestly endeavcred to do their du-
ty. The new members of Council are
all men OF honor and integrity and
capable of giving the city, clean.
businesslike administration.
May the record of the old council
be an inspiration TO the new body
and may fredericksburg continue to
grow until she shall. be second to
none in industrial activity and CON-
mercial prosperity.
