organization next Monday night, and
the only old member of the council
will be. councilman Benetiel, all Of
the others being new men, Mayor
Gardner retires after a record OF
sixteen years of continuous service
as councilman and mayor. He has
made a splendid official and has
devoted great deal Of time to the
business interests of the city. Dur
ing his long service he of course
made enemies in the performance
of his duty as an official, and these
factions contributed to his defeat.
Mr.. McClain, who now assumes the
reins as mayor, is one of the most
popular men in Leon, a man of good
Judgment in all matters, and we be-
lieve he will make splendid record
as mayor. OF course as is always
the case, everyone is asking who will
be marshal and night watch, but Mr..
McClain has not definitely decided
upon these appointments, but will
do SO before next Monday night when
he assumes office.
What the attitude of the new city
administration will be as to paving
and other Improvements is not
known. but we believe they are all
men who will do what they think is
best for the interests Of the city and
the taXpaYerS.
