Dear Mr. Editor:
Since you invite a discussion of
public questions in your valuable
paper, I desire to contribute a

proposed commission form of gov-

Since quite a number of our eit

mayor for an election on this
question on January 10th next, to
vote on the question whether or
not we shall adopt the commission
form of government, I, as one of
the present aidermen want to ex-
press my views.
This proceeding, as I under- it would take to run affairs under "’'t come?
