provided for faithful performance
of the dooties which the majorit.
of the Board considered he didn
perform, he resaved another $1,000
Sure Mike; Well | never knew tina
before; Well, we know it now.
So that's the reason the Pretissol
is so strong for a change in the style
of Government is it? suppose the
l ide is, that when he gets to be Gran
I Fizz in it, he will appoint the Board
of Education himself and put the
kiboSh on all those Boarders who
showed him out? | suppose so
Well how come his co-agitaturs in
the Board of Trade to be so keen
for the new style government? Why
from enlargement of their spheres;
what in thunder is that. | will tell
you.
Ye see Mike, Council likewise
contributes a trifle to maintain a
Board of Thrade for to look after
the citys commercial interests. Not
political interests we understand;
How much? Oh, mere bagatelle
of 100000 a year. or so it was
when last heard of it; Council felt
| am told, a rather fatherly interest
in the Board of Thrade; it seems
now like some of the politicians in it
want to take a fatherIy interest in
the Maeor and Council but from
outward appearances at least, they
are acting more like krool step
mothers as we will see. Now don't
interrupt me with your nonsencical
questions; listen closely to me nara
tive.
Some 7 or 8 years ago, hear
Council give the Board of Thrade
house room, light and Goals and a
sizable pension which has grown
larger from time to time, to attend
strictly to commercial aifaire; not
knock the administration We under
stand; Whenever the Board scented
an industry for Brunswick, the
Mayor and Council always came
across with cash or tax emptiOnS
necessary for to tie it up;
All was serene
Harmony supreme" as the poet
says. We notice then, the Board
began to shake hands with Thin
silves and not so long ago bought
each other watches and loving cups
and love tokens and told themselves
what fine fellows themselves were;
and there is no doubt they were. In
faith, they felt SO good, they said to
themselves, that their spheres ought
to be enlarged and that the Mayor
and Council wasn't such much af-
ter all as the Board of Thrade fur
nished the brains and all that Coun-
Gil had to do was to Come across"
when they cracked the whip: Ye
know how it is when a fellow stuck
on himself; we've seen it. So for
Enlargement of their Spheres, they
called in a specialist from New
York whose speciality is to enlarge
spheres. There is a paper in New
York called the American City that
can furnish any kind of a specialist
on any special subject For, or
Against; its all one to them; for the
money. This paper learned of the
symptoms the Board had, and scent
ing easy money, sends a specialist,
a Mr.. MacFarIand; not a Irish Nc,
Mike, but a Scottish Mac; they bate
the Jews for gittin the stuff. Ye
remember this Canny Scot
Do we not?
He comes down, takes over the
Mayors office, employs a staff of
stenographers; buys postage stamps
t. that extent that it is isn't long
before Louis LeaVy the pGSht Mas
Their git an increase in salary from
the boost in receipts. Ye remem-
Der the cute little "questlonaires"
as we say in the army, this Mac lad
mailed out to Brunswickians ever
so frequently; | had one of them on
ly few days ago, in me pocket and
went out to milk the COW, and it
was so full of bull, she ate it up, but
if | remember correctly, we were
asked something like this
Is civic pride in the abstract, a
dessicated example of concrete pa
tricutisom in its most uneek form,
q would you rather go fishing? An
Would you rather be booster III
! Brunswick or a peet in Petrograd?
Is the moon made of green
cheese?
Did you ever know Nv softer
snap than the one | have with your
Boord of Trade.
What is the best thing you know
fer the good of Brunswick? Now
Larry you must excuse for butting

questionairs, on the information you
