After the City Council had con- vened on Monday evening, Mayor Sutherland made some remarks with reference to the by-laws that the peo- ple had voted upon. He stated that a number of 'citizens had come to {him and asked him to submit, at the {same time as the incinerator by-law, a referendum to the people on the question of abolishing the Utilities |Commission, That was the reason for the submitting of the by-law. The only regret he had was the smallness of the: vote, "This," said the Mayor, "'empha- sizes the fact that the citizens lack interest in civic government." The Mayor claimed that the sub- {mitting of the Utilities by-law would result in great bemefit. * The ques- mission before the people and he thought the criticism on both sides would show good results. The Commission members. had made statements and were now on record, It was up to them to live up to that As to the Commission and the Council, the Mayor said there seem- ed to be a missing link. In order to bring the two bodies closer toge- ther, he suggested that the City Clerk be made secretary of the Com- mission so that Council might be fully informed of its proceedings. He understood that the Commissioners would be willing to have this done. His Worship also stated that he took exception to some remarks made in editorials and in interviews during the past week, He took ex- ception chiefly to the suggestion that the Council could be pulled. The Council, he declared was beyond re- proach. He himself had not been influenced by a certain paper, as had been hinted, and he knew that the | Council could not be influenced by statements handed out by the press HE FLOATED IN THE AIR.
