Everybody's busy for the pay.
Business is booming and every
body is happy and pushing a.
head. Betterments are project
ed and in evidence on all hands
everywhere, except in public i'm
provements. They are not show
ing up to any great extent. In
fact, they are not visible to the
unaided eye. 1t may be our new
administration is Stacking in know
ing how to get the work harness
on all right. Probably it would
be we'll for the new authority to
take lessons from the retired
council, who might give them
some valuable information in re-
gard to doing things just the
right way 1t is a physical fact
that large bodies are slow in
movement, and it is barely pos
sible that our legislative body
may come around in the course
of time with right side up. Let
US hope there may be no back
ward steps and that our village
will progress in the future as in
the past and that some valuable
improvements may be made that
will stand as monuments of the
wisdom of the dads. 1t seems
that some of our progressive peo-
pie will not stand for the tardi-
ness of our council in making i'm
provements, and are pushing a.
head at such rapid rate that room
can not be found on private pro.
perty, so some necessary build
ings are erected in the alleys.
But why should this not be done,
when there is no other ground
on which to expand? Let the
buildings go up and improve
ments proceed, even if the streets
should be built across. Obstruc-
ton to travel must not count as
against any person who may not
have sufficient room within the
bounds of his lot for necessary
buildings. It will not be long
until many of our enterprising
citizens will find a want of room
inside and will build some nee
essary building on the outside,
on the public street. It shows
an enterprising spirit thus to
spread out, and where individu-
ais will thus improve it takes a
large responsibility from the
council to ordain such improve
ments. Let the improvements
proceed in this way and the at
tention of an admiring people
will be attracted to it. Let pro-
priety and the rights of the pub
lie stand aside, and let council
sanction what is being done, and
all will go well, the symmetry
and public rights will be sub
served.

useful for other things than to

q man as he fill the office. Honey
Fitz" is a practical politician in all
that the name implies. II was during
the revolt against the scandal of his
rule that the present charter was
adopted.
BY its provisions the familiar
American model Cf city government
has been swept away. Instead CT a
mayor with a board of aldermen and
a common council elected by the
wards, the new systew provides for a
mayor and city council of only nine
members. Mayor Fitzgerald will hold
office for four years. In that time

how its new charter works when the

man who makes a business of play
