"The

with

As

when
ordering

i
"What

greatest
heat
for

Science
has
already

than

This
is
because

I
If

I
there
would

doubt
of

stated
R.
F.
Perry
in!
exptesslng
his
opposition
to
a
two-year
term.
On
the
other
hand,
if!
a
mayor,
in
his
first
year,
was
con-1
sldered
unsatisfactory,
It
would
be
too
long
to
have
to
keep
him
for
a
second
year.
Much
the
same
applied
to
aldermen,
Mr.
Perry
felt.
It

alderman
haa
to
face
an
election
every
year,
It
would
give
him

to

and
'.here
would
not
be
so
much
inclination
to
rest
oh
one's
oars
until
the
second

Fred
Wesch
felt
a
two-year
term
would
give
a
mayor
a
wonderful
chance
to
work
up
a
machine.
He
felt
that
public
Interest
ln
the
civic
elections
was
a
good
thing.
It
was
noticeable
that,
whenever
there
was
no
mayoralty
contest,
little
interest
was
taken
ln
the
election.
Ex-Mayor
H.
D.
Rochester
declared
that,
from
his
experience,
he
felt
a
two-year
term
for
mayor
vould
be
one
of
the
worst
things
that
could
happen
to
the
city.
It
encouraged
the
natural
tendency
to
run
to
seed.
As
far
as
the
aldermen
were
conerned,
Mr.
Rochester
felt
that
the
one-year

likely
to
make

show
what
he
could
do.
lie
was
absolutely
opposed
to
the
two
year
term
in
either
case.
The
two-year
term,
T.
Ross
Maekay,
believed,
faclllated
the
organ-zatlon
of
little
gangs.
The
only
effective
way
to
call
a
council
to
account
was
by
having
an
annual
election
for
all
Its
members.
As
for
pie
suggestion
which
had
been
made
that
all
four
retiring
members
of
the
1930
council
be
returned
by
acclamation,
Mr.
Mackay
felt
that
It
would
have
been
a
collosal
mistake
to
do
this.

The
annual
election,
Fred
Rlffou
felt,
was
a
good
thing
if
for
noth
Ing
else
than
that
it
stirred
up
In

In

affairs.
0.
D.
Casey
could
see
no
ln
electing
mayor
and
aldermen
for
two-year
terms.
If
a
and
four
aldermen
were
elee
ted
for
two-year
terms,
It
mean'.1
that
every
two
years
only
a
minority
of
the
council,
four
of
its
members,
came
before
the
people.!
The
election
would
be
vain
in
changing
the
policy
of
a
council
whl:h
might
be
deemed
undesirable.
It
would
make
opportunity
for
continuation
of
manipulation
and
such
an
"unholy
alliance"
of
Liberal,
Conservative
and
Labor
heads
such
as
had
been
seen
last
year.
Such
a
frame-up,
Mr.
Casey
alleged,
had
been
Instrumental
last
election
ln
the
defeat
of
himself
and
Mr.
Perry
in
the
one-year
aldermanlc
contest.
"Put
thetn
all
out
and
give
us
a
free
show
to
get
fome
real
blood
into
the
council,"
concluded
Mr.
Casey,
amid
,
applause,
f
Mr.
Curtis'
motion
to
the
effect
that
thelcouncll
arrange
for
option
to
be
given
In
the
matter
of
the
Iermtn
of
aldermanlc
terms
was
carried
unanimously.
Fred
Wesch
and
Fred
Werralg
put
forward
the
resolution
express-ng
"absolute
opposition
to
the
two-year
term
for
mayor,"
which
was
pawed
unanlmousy.
Other
business
at
the
meetln?
was
of
a
minor
nature
and
inclnd-fd
the
passing
of
a
banking
resolution
to
enable
the
president
and
secretary
to
handle
the
funds
of
the
Association.
At
the
suggestion
of
T.
Row
Mackay
seconded
by
N.
Mussallem,
a
hearty
vote
of
thank
was
extended
to
F.
W.
Hart
for
his
organization
work
preDaratory
to
th
formation
of
the
Association.
Mr.
Stephens
referred
to
the
Important
nart
that
Mr.
Hart
had
played
In
the
early
life
of
other
cities
of
the
province.
His
optimism
and
enthu-
iam
for
Prince
Rupert
augured
well
for
the
future
of
the
city.
William
Wilson
thought
that
a
drive
shoud
be
made
for
500
members
in
the
Association.
Mr.
Stephens
delegated
each
member
a
committee,
of
one
to
bring
In
three
members
at
the
next
meeting
when
details
of

a

of

was
available
from

said.
A
