OkNA1TOND Monday morning, and bright and ] early here is a contribution for which we are thankful. Here it is:

 The road gang gave another little scraping party Saturday on Wilcoxson avenue. WiIcoxson avenue is the next street running parallel to Wind sor avenue, one block nearer the cen ter Of things, Paradise Green. 
 | Speaking of Paradise Green which | is the clearing house for the Seventh and Flights districts, there is one thing than can safely be said to be the sem | timent of many persons on each side | of the ash can barrier. It is just this: | Why do!as the council save the town | time, save the town money. save the | town ridicule, and save the towns people sleepless nights by letting the voters exercise as quick possible the referendum on whether Hunter should stay or take the air? It would l be the cheapest and shortest cut to ac- | tually test the sentiment in the town, and would at the same time show each councilman whether there was | enough feeling against him in his
 district to warrant a serious consid- eration of the resigning business.
 There is one thing the council will | hNve to consider, as we'll as people at | large and that is just this: There are a lot of good people, desirable resi-

 Here is something else for the coun- cil to think over: There are some
 people. and even some publications | that are boosting the council because the council at the present moment is | helping boost their little racket who, I l II,os,, r., ,,,k- I,s T. 41-- | oil as a body is made up of a lot of small timers, amateur politicians, and | obedient sheep-

Honoring Hunters | checks didn't exactly show any loss in | the belief that perhaps he has a | chance of sticking after alll The ''Rudder Club didn't meet Sat urday night Couldn't engage a nickle 1 in the slot restaurant Either that or else Stratford is safe and the ship has landed. If it has, a lot of people are still asleep in their hunks ard don't know it. Or still. maybe it is all bunk.
 Wasn't 1t a fine day? The prom enaders had a swell chance to show their duds. Today the duds are in the suds.
 Too bad there has to be such short bad stretch of road between Stratford and Nichols on the Nichols avenue road. Only for a stretch of a quarter of a mile the road would be To. K
 One thing that will not cost much when the surviving town manager gets to it would be a. new uniform set of street markers

 No matter what the Town man agers are doing, everyone else is following a watchfu1 waiting policy A few bets are being laid, odds favor ing Hubbe1 Saturday to the tune of months ago that Stratford at this time would be so near to having an ex- Town manager. Here's a safe bet: the name of the, ex-Town manager will start with I'll"
