THE MAYOR TAKES HOLD Today Mayor Paonessa took of- fice, amid the customary cercmonies, the uaual felicitations, the-routine go0d-wishes. Everybody hopes a new mayor will be a grand success—cx- cept tho comparatively few politi- clans who happen to be on the op- posite side of the political wall and who, while not sayiug much at the beginning of a new administration, hope and pray that the incumbent as pos- time. may make as many mistak sible in the shortest possible Mayor Paonessa went through this twice before, however, and if prac- tice counts for anything, he oiight to be able to sidestep the little er- rors that dog every administration as well as if not better than almost anyone else. Anyway, he now is in office, boss of all he surveys; and he has a good eye and keen ears. As the mayor takes hold of the steering wheel he is confronted with the usual crop of problems that have faced every administration in the past. As the city grows larger its problems also grow, and to solve some of them will coat more money than ordinarily. It is a time for pru- dence and care. Almost anvone could liet a total of schemes which in the aggregate would cause the tax rate to turn upwards with the speed of a speculative stock manipulated by a bull pool. So far the city has been able to confine its activities to discussion only; possibly the period of discussion of these sewage, wa- ter, incinerator and other schemes will continue for a few years longer. Ultimately, as they say will have to be done about them:” but patience will or ought to pay dividends because of the prohability “something that & more careful scrutiny of all| the projects will yield better con- cluaions. All of which ders not mean, of course, that the city should stand still while the d matters progresscs for a fow years The city cannot afford to stand still and will not. It did not stand still cussion of weighty during the two previous ferms of | ssa and did not do so under the Weld administration.

MORE SUNDAY SHOW AGITATION LOOMS The new ordinance committee of | the Common Council is slated to ac- cept a little child placed on its door- tstep from the Weld administration. The tot is the question of permitting | the showing of moving pictures on Sunday, which no doubt many citi- zens thought had heen settled in the negative. Alderman D. L.

The trouble in this | moving picture agitation is that no- body knows just how the majority stande.
