0 uneillor Hawkins is the only
Councillor who hes not served before
and it won't take Tomniy vers long to
get onto the way of things.
There was a small vote polled as"
many voters were ill and others did
not show enough interest in the wel
fare of the town to go out vole.
It just shows what popularity does,
Oouuctlloe 11. Wiltse can stay 111 the.
store and head the polls while Tommy

good working order that he ecu spend
the Solidity in Hamilton and not get
home to even vote and run for third
money. New blood will tell.
" Alnonomy" wits the watchword of

of Clinton hope and trust that this
new Council will take the sante stand.
The taxes are hound to he heavy and
all needless expenditures should be
