Sometimes it would be that he was right, but illy as often his judgment was be ed to be faulty by his fellow-mem- bers of the board, and he would be turned down, only to bob up again at the earliest opportunity, Absolutely fearless in the exposition of what ho. believes to be right, his ¢onvictions and so strong that it must be a powerful argument to change his attitude. Mayor Burke is a reformer and there are few conditions existing at the time of his, induction into office for which he did nol suggest a change or im- provement. Ho securod a municipal electric plant, and he is after a city gas plant. He started a rigid investiga- tion of the cityls water supply, which bas recently been condemned by the state board of health as unfit for use, has reorganized the police force and carried out his plans in every other department of the city's activities. Twice his. acts have caused a legal contipversy which has been carried to the foro. court of the state, and oath timo the mayor was upheld. One was the di al of a chief of police who was charged with improper con- duct: another was his course in an election ease where the mayor alleged feaud had been practiced. Naturally, such a man has made en- omies. Sometimes these express the wish that he be elécted governor, "so that we can have somo one else for mayor of Burlington." : Mr. Burke is strong with the labor- ing' classes, and these have proved of valuable assistance in his wunicipal contests, Warking men of Vermont have long expressed a desire to vote for him for chiof oxecutive of the state. A worker with his hands himself since early' youth. Mr. Burke is in deep sympathy with the toiling masses whose brawn addy so materially to the prosperity and resources of the coun- try, Ono of a family of ten children, Mr. Burke early in life was compelled to assist in the support of the houschald.

Not only bus the mayor im- proved in specchmaking by practice, but the people know him better. They appriéciate his Honesty of pur- pose, they know that he means what he says, and they have grown to like his unusually outspoken, plain man- ner. His policy as head of the Burlington city government is epitomized in the following extracts from his messages to the board of aldermen : "In view of the many important matters to be considered; we can real- ize that it is not to be a year of leis- ure, providing we do our full duty, Let us take up the work in a true business-like spirit, exercising the same care and interest that a wise and pru- dent business man would in his own private business, and thereby prove that the trust reposed'in us was not misplaced." "Let us not considér thé 'city's inter- ests from a narrow and partizan point of view, bat rather from the grand and broader range of her great sxibilities. © While F do not beliove in extravagance in the management of city affairs, T shall not' ailvoeate *a 'penny-wise-pound-foolish' policy; 1 be- lieve in progress," "I shall not recommend taking a single step backward: from: the high standard to which we have attained, and which has called forth so many flattering tributes to the beauty and welfare of our city." Mayor Burke says he would rather be right than be governor, but he does mot sve why he should not be both, After working much of the day in his shop on one of the principal streets, Shposite the Carnegie public library, ¥. Burke goes in the everming to his pleasant home on North Union street. There his fine library frequently oceu- pies his attention until betitime. "All the mayor's nine children are living.
