\ Mayor Hills for an editorial of Wednesday,
November 10, entitled “Premature Action” we have
no intention of turing “the other eheek.” We ad-
init that in his mikl rebuke he put his finger on an
incorrect staternent in the editorial that “coune!ls mn
small cities generally have five members.” Ty
mayor, Friday night at the Civic Affairs ilssocla-
lion mecting, produced the Municipal Year Book
“0 prove that at least ten of British Columbia's
‘Hies have six aldermen and a mayor, Only three
have five aldermen and a mayor, We how to his

It was also pointed out hy Mayor Hills that etty
Jerk RW. Lone had heen elevated to the position
of clerk-controller (o# comptroller) in 1353 and was

Nothing has happened lately to cause any real (is-
satisfaction with the manner in which the affairs
of the city are being handled.”

The main feature of the editorial, particularly
in view of the fact that the city faces the removal
of its biv burden of debt next year, was that wheth-

chances with the future, “it is strange that it should

In Victoria in 1949, attempts to get official ac-

 

ment failed, until The Victoria Daily Colonist, a
newshaper noted ‘for its keen interest in civie af-
fairs, featured on its.front pages a series of articles
comparing advantages possible under the -ouncil-
manager system with the lack. of co-ordination an
Victoria’s existing system at that time.

The veries of articles were written by The Col-
onist’s city, hall reporter, Lawrie Joslin, an able te-
porter known from Toronto to the west coast for
his ability and accuracy. The-series was published
in booklet form in Septemb ar, 1950, in answer to the
