A word of praise for our Street
Commissioner, Mr. John Hassin.
Every dollar he has expended on
our streets shows for itself and where
he has worked the etfects will be
seen for many years. It pays to do
work well even if so much ground
is not covered. The amount of mon
ey which our borough authorities
can spend on the streets, is limited,
hut they have certainly made the
most of it, thanks to the intelligent
work of Mr. Hassin.

out of ofllce several years ago.
The German people were so fright
ened by the announcement of the
Kaiser that those who voted for the
Social Democrat candidates would
have him "to deal with"Jthat they
elected more Social Democrats than
ever before.
