takes place next Tuesday, June 9, and
while it would hardly be fair to say
that the situation is boiling" still 1t
is a fact that there are evidences OF
more than usual interest. Two candi-
dates are announced for mayor, and
some individuals who are not exactly
satisfied with either have been trying to
get out others. At venture, we would
suggest that the two announced are
all that will be voted for: but this is
only a venture. There is a probability
Of contests in some Of the wards. not
| all the residents of the respective
wards being altogether satisfied
with their present representatives.
There is also dissatisfaction as to the
management Of the graded school; but
as to whether there will be any further
effort to oppose what many voters con-
slider to be q decided tendency on the
part of the board at -perpetuation
has not been made clear. Except in
some few of the wards there is no well
defined division Of opposing interests
or policies, and the local political sit
uatiOn generally is as usual, more or
less chaotic. The leading subjects Of
criticism so far as the present admin
istration Is concerned, are the sewerage
matter the inception and motive Of the
ordinance exempting new manufactur-
ing enterprises from taxation for a
period Of five years, and the fire de-
partment arrangements. But all of
these being settled facts. criticism
seems to be rather out Of date. There
are, however, Indications that with
growing responsibilities and expenses,
the people are beginning to do little
more thinking than heretofore with re-
gard to municipal affairs.
