Lou Cohen and C. B. Fitzgerald Furnish the “New Blood” in the Council | THE ELECTION of Carroll, Cohen and Fitzgerald brings two new men to the present council, Fitz- gerald, who was formerly mayor and city councilman, and Cohen, who enters for the first time into political | office. | The “I told you so” boys can gain but half-hearted satisfaction from the results. With Carroll’s election | conceded, the test came between ‘those who favored | the Carroll-Cohen-Cotterill leone and the supporters | of the Carroll-Bolton-Fitzgerald lineup. Councilman Bolton is eliminated in the finals. Councilman Haas was eliminated in the primaries. If the purchase of the street car system was the issue of | this election, then certainly the voters have behaved Haas voted againstit. , The net result of the election is the displacement of Bolton and Haas for Cohen and Fitzgerald. While Cohen was heralded as a critic of the purchase, Fitz- gerald was in the council when the purchase was made and voted for it. Att THREE ELECTED, Carroll, Cohen and Fitz-| gerald, are pledged against the use of general funds for street railway purposes. Fitzgerald has al-| ways been opposed to taking tax funds for the pur-| |pose. Carroll, how@ver, submitted a resolution to tax| |the people a million and a half this year, but later | withdrew it. Cohen’s record on this question is con- tained solely in his campaign pledges. : The only question determined by the election, then, | jis that the tax funds shall not be touched for railway) This makes it all the more imperative that every effort be brought to bear to make the management | and operation of the street car system as efficient as ible. The crux of the whole street railway prob- lies there. ‘THE STAR wishes to emphasize again its position. | If any fraud entered into the purchase of the street car deal, the contract and the bonds are invalid. til such fraud is proved in a court of law. The city cannot afford to default in any payments as long as the bonds and contract of purchase are held | valid and legal. It would be an insane thing to do— = - of repudiation that this citly should be incapa- le of. | The Star believes that those who allege fraud and misrepresentation should bring suit to determine that issue, so that the city may know once and for all! | whether it is anything substantial or mere buncombe. Such a suit would go straight to the point and not at- tempt a whole lot of evasive propositions. The waters | have been sufficiently muddied without any fake and insincere suits. In the absence of fraud, and in the absence of any court ruling that there has been any misrepresenta-| jtion, the city must face its situation practically. It | must recognize that it is the owner of the railway sys- |tem, and, as its owner, it must see to it that it is get- ting the best possible treatment from those it hires to manage and operate it. If the management is nét ex- pert, it should be made so. BEING THE ONLY really new man in the council, A. Lou Cohen will occupy a rather important po- sition in the minds of the people. The Star extends to him its best wishes for a successful administration of his duties. As a business man, he promises to be prac- tical and economical. The Star believes Councilman Fitzgerald is as well equipped, by experience and by hard common sense, to give as good service in the council as any man. Councilman Carroll, The Star believes, means well, tho he has found it necessary to change views once or twice. ° All in all, the city must be thankful that the election |is over, and that we can now tackle our municipal | problems without so much oratory and flamboyancy. | Fish Made America Great \(yBSERVANCE OF NATIONAL FISH DAY _ today | as a tribute to those who toil on net and line has an unusual significance for every American citizen, for it was |upon the fisheries that the first commerce of the original +3 colonies was founded. y For many years after the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers fishing was the foremost industry of this new land. Due to many influences, the fishery of this country no longer holds the importance attached to it in the early jdays, nor does it receive the attention still accorded the oie other countries, he change came with the migration away from the Atlantic seaboard.
