the gentleman is now much exercised
about the public veal; but | noticed
his vote was recorded against the in

bill, in the House. at the last session.
Remembering his position on the
referendum so recently, his confess
sion of having voted, against his bet
ter judgment, for a bill to allow the
city to borrow up to ten per cent.
Of assessment seems ridiculous Why
did not Mr.. Downward grasp the op-
portunity and vote for the initiative
and referendum amendment and
thereby free himself and others in
the future from coercion by political
bosses.
A full explanation from Mr.. Down
ward, telling why he voted against
his better Judgment. would be inter-
esting. Turn on the light Mr.. Down
ward the people have a right to

Trim the trees and cut the grass, and

A bright city for our visitors as they
