WE'LL EARNED PRAISE

The action taken by city council in adopting the new salary ordinance seems to meet with general approval, and will undoubtedly materi ally curtail the city's operating expenses with out impairing the service Should the measure in any way prove faulty it will be an easy matter to remedy 1t under the new ordinance.
 The Silver Belt is not at all displeased with the strife within the city council incident to the passage of this ordinance. It evidences thought and care in the administration of the city's business, determination among the members of the municipal family to fight to the last ditch for what they consider right, personal strength and conviction, with no other sequel possible than good government, which means that the taxpayers interests have been subserved.
 The present city administration need have no fear of courting a retrospective glance The career of the municipal body is a career of achievements; the path is marked on every hand by progress. There is no evidence of mossback- ism The people have been faithfully served, and from mayor to street supervisor the officers can review their respective records with war ranted pride The Silver Belt advocated the election of these men because it believed they would give the people good service They were eminently qualified for their respective places, and we believe, without exception, they have en- deavored to give their constituents the best ser vice that they were capable of. The Silver Belt, with honest purpose, has at times criticised the acts of the local legislators. It had no other motive, however, than the good will of the whole people, and none of its utterances were born of malice or spite, nor did it aspire to satisfy any personal grudge The Silver Belt has no sore spots. 1t looks upon-the officers, individually and collectively as competeut. honest and pains taking, and in all sincnpSev 5and%'" ense of appreciation of sSkes this occasion to con,
