In dwelling on the efficiency of his
police force the mayor said The Ar
gus got smart" not long ago and Of
fered a reward of $50 for the capture
and conviction of a burglar I'VE went
out the next day and got it," he added
1t might have been in place for him to
explain why this arrest was not made
till AZ burglaries had been committed
in the space of a few months and why
no other arrests for the same crime
have been made since Do the police
under his personal command require
a bonus to do their duty?
Among his acts that the mayor
praised himself for was the vetOing Of
the Shanghai Trail ordinance. He did
not add that he saw the light rather
late in the consideration of that meas
ure nor that in committee he told the
council he knew the Trail was a good
thing. because he had seen it used in
other cities He did not say that he
had deceived the council and the com
pany as we'll into the supposition that
he was in favor of the Shanghai rail
until his veto was represented. But
every member of the council knows
that in this instance he was merely
fourilushing. as he was when the Cen
trail Union telephone franchise was un.

striking examples of the manner in
which he has unanswered for political
advantage throughout his term of Of
