the city council from the 3rd ward
have (.'.ono more to beautify and
enhance the value of property in the
3rd ward than any men ever elected
to represent that ward in the city
council in fact they have done so
much for property in that ward as to
arouse comment and some criticism
by l-psidents in the other warJs in
city. The property owners in 3rd
ward would have made no mistake in
re-electing Mr. Flood; but if Prof.
Gittinger should prove less progres-
sive than Mr. Flood the voters in
ward will realize their mistake. In
the 4th ward B. C. Earker who was
elected a year ago on both tickets
had no opposition for re-election and

a great blessing to the ciuntry.
Just such a rain was needed to put

now in the ground and some warm
sunshine a wonderful transformation
