This takes away five of the present inemi#-r*hlp. t Alderman Doyle ha* not ©xpre%Him self. but it I considered <b*ubt:ul if he w'lll again allow the u?*© of his name. This cuts the present ltt down to six Alder men Mills and Thomas, with Alderman (irahnm, were He (*• 1 on the Überil ticket, and could hardly expect a renoml nat lon at the hands of their opponents At the same time both sis veteran alder men and have rendered the city excellent service, and It Is safe to say that If the matter were left to their present associ ates that they would be continued on th© bonrd Alderman Thomas has been par ticularly efficient as chairman of the House Drainage Committee and ii la not rmposslbl© that Mayor Myers may a.-k him to continue with the hoard, in order that he may complete this work Alderman J in, 11 Is said not to !*• par tl ularly nnxl*un for further it!
