Dr. Brereton was the unanimous choice. In thanking his colleagues for the condence they had placed in -him, Dr. Brereton `stated that the honor was outweighed by the responsibil- Sarjeant, ' ity.

But the ratepayers are not yet prepared to entertain such a thought. The Board must rst be persuaded that there is nothing else to do.
