Different interpretations be placed upon the action of Mayor Rao- nessa in calling former President pro tem. Gill to the chair to preside, in- stead of summoning the new presi- | dent, Alderman Dehrg. Tt will be said that he “ignored" the latter; it) will said he wished to show his disapproval of the spirit which elect- ed him. One would like to believe, hotwever, that the Mayor called Alder- man Gill to the chair an act of | courtesy—a compliment to the retir- ing officer who sometimes says more than he means but “sticks to it® The fight did not develop. Alder- man Gill did his best to “‘get out from under” by moving to make Mr. Dehm | the unanimous choice of the council for the pro tem. presidency, and Alderman Pajewski, after casting in- nuendoes not complimentary to the| manner in which Dehm was elected, declared he had “had his say,” and assured the council that he was now going to work for the “best interests | of the city.” It is to be noted that he made no reference to the “best interests of the party,” which of course, was quite proper a sion of the common day it may be remembered, however that he said nothing to indicate loy- alty to his party. An ideal poked its head up at the mecting last night. Perhaps the| fdeal was a bit Quixotic, but in these practical days, when many things are excused on the ground of “good | business,” it was deeldedly pleasant to sce. The news columns give the details of the matter of the purchase of Hupmobile, for which Mayor Paonessa is the local agent. The point here deemed worthy of com- ment is that Mayor Paonessa stood up in the council and absolutely re- fused to sell the city a car from his agency. This, after the charter had been examined, the matter discussed, gnd the opinion of the corporation council obtained which the effect that there was no reason why | the car might not be sold to the city | by the Mayor. “1 have not city 1 refuse the said Mayor Paonessa. “I| a will be as as ses- council.

As Mayor Paonessa closes his ac- counts for the first year of his ad- ministration he can smile, and keep on smiling, because he has confound- | Ir ed his enemies. the year has not been marked any conspicuous acts of great public benefit he can reflect with pleasure on the thought that, as mayor, he has been decidedly more sful than many of his critics thought he would be. From the beginning Mayor nessa has been in succes Pao- weak position. In an effort to promote legislation, he has been forced to win support from an opposition party which is in the majority and which has not always been in sympathy with his ideas of government this situation, Mayor record of achievement tention. When assumed office he fused his authority to dismiss a number of commissioners and by doing so lost the services of who could have been retained with advantage to the city. it must be admitted in the interest of truth that he swept from office many more who had no particular excuse for being there and who could be spared without any great public sac- rifice.
