A proposed' issue of bonds in 1913 amounted to -*132,000, but no market was found for it. and tbose who pay attention to city affairs will remember that the proposal was made in council to invest sinking fund in these bonds. (Although thfl law had been invoked to create a Sinking Fund Commission With this purpose undoubtedly in view, the consent of this Commission to this step could not be obtained. This Com- 1 mission consisted, at the time, of Mayor Dames J. Doak, Recorder Thomas W. Millet and Treasurer Stephen Wilson, and they stood unanimously against this iniquity. That a similar effort -will be made, if iffrcum stances are favorable, goes without saying. The recent election upon the subject of jierraitting the establishment of a municipal lighting plant was carried for this project and the authority given new constitutes a menace. The intention of Council when this proposition was submitted to the people was to build a new plant . We understand that the light and Power plant is now under new management and it is no doubt a valuable property in private tiands. in order to give the new owners encouragement, the governing body Should, -hive" an understanding with , th'egi for improved service and terms, aii^ the matter of municipal ownership ahould be laid aside until the new owners bave an opportunity to make mat ters satisfactory. This brief sketch will • indicate to our i peoplehow vastly important the Com- | mission Form election, October 19ih, will be. A failure to elect good business men, uncontrolled by any influence", excepting the city's good, will be a disaster of the most sinister kind. To the Citizens of Oape May: We have commenced a new epoch in onr history. A grave crisis faces us. The correct ' move means success, a mistake means ^ ruin and a receiver! We have decided to place three men in the responsible position of managing f the affairs of our city! They are to have pleniary and abso- * lute power to create or destroy! In their hands is the power to fill, t create, or obliterate all or any subordinate offices! They will have full and complete con- j trol of employment in aU department" j of the city's work and business! t Above arid beyond all the duties heretofore devolving upon City Council we have authorized them to also take charge of lighting the city. Have we comprehended the true meaning of all this and whet it involves? No government is better than the in- ( dividuals who are selected to conduct it. The advancement of the interests of any community can only be assured by j tE V E N I F YOU HAD A NECK As Last As This FsUw., And tad iORE THROAT ^ ^ ^ I DOWN I * ON SI LINE; WOULD ADULT HLEVt IT.

P Shall we make these mistakes any t_ The personality of the Commission should contain: 0. 1. A man competent to be the Chief Magistrate. ~ 2. A Financier. 3. A practical Engineer. The 'etaits of these various' positions ^ will be discovered by very little thought * and the neeeaaity for the qualifications * easily seen. The program facing the Commissioners is a momentous one. * The financial .problem is by ho mean* the least if it does not really overshadow all others. The items to be prepared for are principally: 1. New High School -Building. 2. Citv Hall. 3. Incinerating Plant. 4. Sewer System for west end of 5. Improved 'Streets. 6. Uniform Sidewalks. 7. Imptovhd Boardwalk. Band Pavilion. X 9. Water Meters. e 10. Operation of Lighting. t. 11. Public Playground. 12. Reconstruction of Board of y Health. y 13. Fill up marshes and vacant lota 14.

This cannot all be accomplished at n Wisdom must decide which to do first . and which is most important. 8 Lastly. What are the rights of the .{citizens in these premises? r 1. Demand that each Commissioner shall attend to City business during hi? i term of office and no other business, t 2. Each fcommissioner must have an office and be found there during proper f business lionrs. 3. Sentiment, kinmansliip, friendship, eharity. have 110 place in this selection. I Cool, calm, incisive, positive, careful , judgment are absolutely required to the j obliteration of all feeling, j That a candidate desires the office . should receive no consideration. , The office belongs to the citizens and j they must decide. ..'

Doubtless the warrii^ nations have the sympathy of the neutral Balkan peoples. A "ship comes in" and tells the Weather Bureau there is a storm in the West Indies, and the Bureau sends out a storm warning to "the ships that have already warned themselves 48 hours ahead.

"Hunter dies from wounds," says a Its dreadful the way the poor hunters are suffering at the hands of the animals this season. "In Hospital After Attack" says another headline: Well most of them are after that. If Ool. Watterson wasn't too old he'd enlist. After the showdown, the ability to is of very little consequence. Just what Mr. Lorimer done sbice being ejected from the Senate to make him a desirable member of Congress?
