There is said to be an interesting
contest developing over the selection
of paving inspector for the city Two
candidates. so far are in the field for
the position, James Armstrong and A
j.. Gary, and the people are inclined
to take hand in the settlement CT
the matter and evidences already ap-
pear by the interest which the friends
of the candidates are taking in the
contest.
The responsibility for the selection
is on the council and we presume it
will be able to dispose OF the matter
to the best advantage for the city and
all concerned. 1t is said the question
of salary to be paid the Inspector is
one of the considerations that may
have something to do with the action
of the council.
