The mayor of a citv or town should he a man who can 611i the position wth bie- coming dignit 'y and who will be looked up to as the chef executive head of the corporation and -be properly honored as sucli chiei citizgn during his termi of oc- cupancy of the maï.orai office and pos- session of the chie! magistrates prerog- atives. Further, he should be a man whose capabilities are- equal to ail the requirements of the heid of the corpor. ation, so that lie can direct and control the various officiais instead o! being dependent upon and cor-trolled by them. A man piaced over other men who know fgr more than hie does resvecting the business he le supposed to know more abjut than the 'v do is not likely to coin- manci their respect or sacceed in having the work done to the king's liking or to corporation.
