A Woman Wanted

To the Editor of the "Nonri-Cumwa Darty News Sm—Most of the harm seems to have' been done now and T take it there Is no possibility of going back on the Counel's past munificence—but what we ratepayers want to do 4s to got men with less spacious ideas on the next Council that we elect, Thave no doubt that to most of our present City Fathers £500 or £700 a year is a mere bagatelle—the price of a new fur coat for the wife, for instance, But to an economical housewife tike myself it is beyond my dreams of affluence and T cannot tell you how it Irritates me to feel that some of the dollars that I manage to squeeze out of my purse for the rates are going to help keep 4 few able-bodied men In comfort while T have to make out with a coat at least 8 years old, This may be a trivial cutlook—but I do wish we could get a woman or twp on the Council—just a few that know how a Ute here and a little there mount Look Avren Tue Pennies. Bhanghai, Nov, 10,
