WHAT IS HANGING OVER US UNTIL WEDNESDAY NIGHT? ‘Servian Labor Benefit Society

No. 195, S.S.S.S.

The city is all agog over the special meeting of the ane Meetings held every Ist and 3rd Sunday of the

keep” is an old maxim,

thinks it his public duty to keep secret from us,
they speculate the gloomier must their thoughts be. That the
bank has shut down on that the city’s credit is busted,
already a foregone conclusion. But if that were all the Mayor
would doubtless have frankly said it, and have taken counsel}
with the aldermen how this temporary financial embarrassment
could be remedied. Gloomier and gloomier become the fore-
bodings and the general belief that the worst is yet to come.

All because the Mayor, in his supreme wisdom, deems it)
politic to smash a few of the leading planks of the platform upon |
which he secured public oolailtionsé and to shut out the public|
from his confidence. Why he should have gone Victoria at|
the public expense and then refuse to tell the public why he|
went and what he did there is a matter nobody can puzzle out.
The hydro-electric scheme the biggest subject, financially and
otherwise, the city has on hand at present. Was that the object!
of his trip to the seat of provincial government? If so, how does}
he reconcile his silence with Plank No. 2 of his platform, which |

“The carrying out the hydro-electric undertaking by}
the whole council, in the presence of press representatives.

Why he should have refused to Alderman Montgomery the}
information that gentleman had a perfect right to ask splinters|
another plank which reads: ‘Every citizen to receive an abso-
and Mr. Montgomery did not invalidate his
becoming an alderman. “Open methods|
and free the board” is another plank the
mayor is reducing to pulpwood by his silence.

But none of the foregoing is intended a criticism of
action of the Mayor in maintaining this awful silence. It
simply stated as being the first duty of a newspaper to tell the
news and the public impression this news creates. We have
no desire to add another cloud of gloom, especially on so bright
and glorious a day as this. We would wish to dissipate it as
much as possible, and will make the endeavor.

It is probably a small trouble after all. In fact, the Mayor
has not kept his secret well, not he thinks he has.
For he let it slip yesterday afternoon in his explanation to the
hospital board why the could not come through with the
$10,000 for the extension of the hospital. He said in a burst of
confidence such as he has not been guilty of in the city council:
“The bank is kicking like blazes against these individual de-
bentures. They ‘For goodness sake get a sum of money
raised, and keep it in one fund.’ That is the trouble.”

So there is probably little nothing to worry about. It
may turn out that the Mayor has discovered another mare’s nest,
and that is about all.
