His point is that new man may run forvcounctl for one year as he can leave ll he doesnt like the job But two years may be long time for disillusioned municipal politician RESERVATIONS lie voted for the twoyear termthe motion went through couple of months ago without dissentbut if it came up again certainly would have re servations Most councillors assumed the twoyear term was on the basis of previous councils commit ment consldtant report to term but the electoratewas fac ed with package deal when erection to city status was put to the popular vote It was purely for or against city with no mention on the bolloLsheet of twoyear term And lot of alderman aroun haplly about it Says Alderman Smith ne thing in favor of two yeer term is the cost Two years would certainly give new mem bers much better chance to educate themselves to their new duties and would also give coun cil much better chance to planahead However it should be remeor bered that if it is matter of dollars and cents by electing poor council for two years it could be costly Also they could be lax in their duties simply because they know you are going to be stuck with them for two years Alderman Smith sees the poss
