The help of the public and the enormous pressure of its patronage have made it possible for thie corporation to overcome the effects of years of jobbery, stock-watering and the in- competency of past administrations. In view of the increased income and promising outlook shown ‘by the official report, the public would be glad to believe that it may ca have reason to congratulato itself as well as the compdny.
