NO CURTAIN FOR CURTIN For years the efficiency and | knowledge of Cyril J. Curtin, elec- | trical inspector, were recognized | wherever such things were appreci- ated. That included the city hall. The city considered itself fortunate in| possessing the services of the man, | nd in the past any politician with the hardihood to call the inspector’s ability into question would have been | regarded as slightly if not radically | defective mentally. Perhaps out of a desire to provide | a city berth for some machine poh-i tician comes the astounding infor-| mation that the resignation of Cyril | . Curtin has been requested. And | after it was given the members of | the building commission, sensing | some of the public indig parent hercabouts, became reluctant to accept it. Only the chairman, A. T. Leavitt, felt disposed to stick by | the guns of the machine. How | Leavitt acts is one thing; what he | thinks and says is another. For it is | on record that his estimate of Cur- tin was correct: “Curtin is an efi- cient inspector and a fine man for " Leavitt was quoted as say- | author of the words | ation ap- the Yet wanted Curtin's instead of ing. the nation accepted forthwith table for a week.
