The city has given us a :ant of $1800 in previous yea.'.s jut this was subject to the derision cf the presiding council and could be cancellea without warning. Our membership for 1052-53 was $742(1 gross. Therefore, to give this up for the $6000 plus the $1800 present grant would only increase our present dilemma. The membership rates mill levy for Roosevelt park for a five-year-period. I am opposed to this money being used for any other purpose than originally intended: namely, the improvement of Roosevelt Park. Roosevelt Park can be developed and made a beauty spot In the centre of the city, with a view of the harbor and city unsurpassed. True, development will be costly but well worthwhile.

Possibly we do not fully understand the intent :f the phrasing, but it strikes us that in this case a 'camp" and a "circle" are pretty much the same hing. We are led to assume that, if Mr. Hills and vlr. Casey are elected, they will replace the three ,vhom Mr. Casey has chosen to regard as "conspirators." We do not believe Mr. Casey's choice of words does justice to Mr. Hills who has steadfastly maintained it is the duty of a mayor to refrain from picking sides among his aldermen. In fact, up to this point both mayoralty candidates have been left remarkably free to fight their tion but it is the means whereby States navy salvage ship is tow- vear's council will be able to do this. the individual may .show his or.ing the Canauian mercnuni sn:p apparent" .

But j my own observation in his own is a fair match from the publicity point at view. iVhen it is over, the winner should not have to feel obligated to anyone. .Nor do we believe that dishonesty is an issue in this election. The favorable report by B. C. fciv.cewell on our civic procedures cannot by dismissed as "whitewash." Mr. Casey asked for this investigation and should be big enough to stand by the verdict, even though it was not what he wanted. The charge that it was made up to save the cost of a mayoralty by-election does no credit to his ingenuity. If the machinations of ths so-called "inner circle" were there as Mr. Casey pictures them, the cost of such an election would have been peanuts in comparison. Although Mr. Casey will not believe this, we have an affection for the "old watchdog." He has color aid courage though no more of the latter than some of the men he fights and unquestionably has made some grand copy for our readers. Rut we also lay the blame for much of the city council's ponderous 'operations squarely at his feet. It is not reasonable to suppose that most men are crooks, dumbbells, or enemies of the underdog. Yet this is an attitude which seems to provide Mr. Casey's main motivation.
