Elimination of Republican Alder
men George T. Kingston and Bur-
ton Walker through the recent cleo
tions will more or less place the
brunt of carrying the ball for the
COP at all aldermanic sessions in
1944-45 on the shoulders of Alder
men William Gerard and James
Abercrombie. Not that they will be
the only COP members left on the
board nor the sole ones with eXper-
fence. But they will undoubtedly
be the party's mainstays until such
time, perhaps, as some of the new
members have proved themselves by
righteousness, responsiveness OF
force or personality. Taking the
places, though, of either Mr.. Kings
ton or Mr.. Walker will be a hard
job for any newcomer, for both were
of the hardy type who contrived to
keep the Democratic majority on its
toes at all times as they propounded
queries on the why's and wherefores
OF city government.
Although the city's budget-mak-
ers didn't express it too vOlubly
they are hopeful that the year
1914 will witness a cessation in a
lot Of the civilian defense activi-
ties that have cost the city con-
siderable money in the last two
