It was later on in the week that we got into the argument with one of the boys He oftered to bet anything we liked that we wouldn't be able to take a mange car and park it for one hour on Erb St. without getting 3 parking ticket. "The n that in on the beat right now one of those who admires " own hand writing," he told us. "and there Isn’t another cu parked out there right now, no it would will be one ticket to write."

(2) That these same policemen never stop to write out the tags it there is more than one or two cars parked in that particular loca- tion. (3) That they never tag a car they know, and that car ri- vers can get away with absolute murder on a Saturday morning, the very time that the "no park- in( law should be enforced. The reason we came to contri- bute the dollar bill to the strong box of the Waterloo police de, partment, was simply became we got into an argument with one of the local boys over the parking or rather none parking on Erb St. When we had come into the omce we had noticed three cars parked in the "no parking" zone and also noticed that they did not sport a ticket. However, we thong t nothing of it, for we have become accus- tomed to seeing these cars park here and have never yet seen a ticket on one of them unless it wu an out of town can We know there have been exceptions to thier-we just have never seen them. btt,t,raddi; morning we stood and watt ed for half In hour, while drivers of can and trucks packed their vehicles into this "no parking" zone, but 80 tar as we could see none of them had the parking rap pinned on This not, can In. on. buck but we feel that the price is cheap. The dollar was not spent --it was contributed to the Wa- terloo Police Department for a small slip of white paper that an enterprising cop left under the windshield wiper of. my car. It is also his feeling that a bet- ter ty of men would be at- tractetfeto municipal work if there was only some way they could escape the mutant eriti- cism that attends any political garticipation. If the men elected ad quaMed to the satisfttetiun ot the ublic and of the nomina- tors BEFORE the? were elected, then there woul be little rea- son for criticism K,t'1fg', they adhered to the po icy thei pre- Iented to the voters, efore standing for election. With a young growing city like Water-i oo, "doing your best" Just isn't good enough unless you are cap- able of realizing that running a city is big business and that pro- per business methods will have to be adhered to to make a suc- cus of it. With this opening thought we leave you until next week, but don't just read these articles and throw them away. Read them and then sit back and think about them. Think about them and we think you will find that these views are so sound that it is a wonder they have not been put forward before. J.H.S. In many cases it is found that the man who actually is elected is far from qualified for the task he is undertaking. To wait until the nominations are,ciosed, is to wait to long, for then nothing can be done to correct the situ- ation. This then is something that should lg attended to pre- vious to the time of the nomina- tion means. and all candidates who are nominated should he prepared to show at this meet- ing that they are capable of handling the job they are being giyery _ . . - .. A via; 3 iii KWY3HENEIR.--htter half a century of service with the local water commission, J. c. Breite haupt retired as chairman and member of the board Monday night. It was pointed out that when the commiuion was estab- liahed in 1899, the daily con- sumption of water was Mi,000 gallons. Last year this amount sog‘reg to 2,996,510 “lions gaity. He recommended that the matter stand for the p;esent.and if Mr. Holland does hot appear at the next committee meeting, the issue will be dropped.

Arnold Hauck also felt Mr. Hol- land should have put in an ap- pearance if he had any concrete charges Aid. Roberts said it was "foolish to kick this thing around, unless he has some bona tide complaint". ed to get into council this year, Arthur F. Holland aha test appear before the Wuteroo Council oMce Committees Mon- day night to substantiate his ism-election charges of inter- erence in the Waterloo assess- ment department. Ald. Gould said he felt that council had a perfect right to "tell him where and how he shall be heard". "Having failed to appear. it would seem little importance needs to be attached to the so-called charges that he desired to lay before the coun- oil. and unless Mr. Holland agrees to appear before the next meeting of the omce committee, we are inclined to consider the matter closed." Ald. Harry Gould said that since last week's meeting, Mr. Holland had been written and telephoned advising him of Monday night's meeting but still he insisted on a hearing before the committee of the whole in camera.
