associated with some OF them in busi-
ness and political propositions, and I
feel satisfied that the members of the
board are as sble tc handle anything
that may come before them as any
other five men that might be men
toned
There is no reason to feel that
they have not the interests Of the
city at heart, and there is no reason
to believe that they viii not do what
they can for the interests of the city.
Those who believe, or say they be-
lieve otherwise. are mlsinformed and
do not know what they are talking
about. The individual members Of the
board are as honest and as capable ~
fny men ] know, and the fact that
they received very large vote OF
the electorate OF the city indicates that
the majority Of the people feel the
same way
1T is too early 20 criticise. How

until we SEQ what he ia going to
do The man who criticises and con
demns man for something before
the man has mad an opportunity TO
show what he can do. Is critIcisine,
apparently, for some Interior motive
himself.
There are some things which the
city council may refer TO them which
may help the general proposition One
az them is consolidation of the city

foot in official circles to consolidate
the departments under one head and

rerience and observation In several
departments of the city government,
