Municipal Council And Canton's Civic Progress
Stability and Progress.
The inauguration of the Municipal Council on Monday deserves comment. Despite the extraordinary situation in which this city aud this province are pinced in consequence of the barbarous acts of the subjects of certain Foreign Powere, the people, under competent leadership, are moving, and moving steadily, in their progress towarde civic betterment.
SIGNIFICANT GESTURE
What is the significance of the ceremony on Monday when the Councillors took the oath of office and assumed their corporate responsibility as a Municipal Council? Their gesture was zu assurance of confidence to the people of Cauton city- and a challonge to our foes within and without. As represents- tive citizens of the city they indicate their faith and confidence in the stability of the new democratic order ushered in on July the First, and are prepared to co-operate actively and intimately with the Executive to build the Greater Canton that shall worthily uphold the proud and ancient eminence of Canton as the Queen City of the South.
Let it be carefully noted that the Municipal Council which has just been instituted is not merely an ADVISORY body, but A SUPERVISORY and LEGISLATIVE organ, responsible for the general direction of the activities of the City Government. The Municipal Council as now constituted is charged with power to enact such laws and regulations as usually fall within the scope of modern Municipal Governments. Upon the Monieipal Council will rightly devolve the probleme of Municipal Taxation, Revenne and Expenditure. The Council is to meet at regular sessions to deliberate and pass upon the measures which the Executive Commissioners propose for the efficient conduct of the affairs of
the Municipality.
PUBLIC CONFIDENCE AND SUPPORT
Scarcely fifty days have elapsed since the new City Mayor and his associate Commissioners took up office. With # practically empty treasury confronting them, they put their shoulders resolutely to their tasks. It did not take long for the svidence of Municipal activity to become apparent to the people: the daily sanitary work of the city has since been performed to the evident satisfaction of the people, and the mending of the public roads is proceeding apace despite temporary difficulties in obtaining materials. The educational difficulties, which have long been obronic, are being grappled with systematically, and soon it is hoped that the City's public sobo›l system will be placed ou A sound funting. The police bave got rid of the troops which had been quartering within the city.
But whatever progress has been made in the short period since the new City Commissio.oors took up offics, has been largely due to the confidence and goodwill which the people, through its representative citizens, have shown towards the new Government. Without the financial assistance provided hy been possible to the new Municipal loan, it would not have set the Municipal machinery going with euch comparative #moothness and absence of friction. •
And it is an earnest of the batter days that are now before us, when we see representative citizens, chosen equitably from the chief groups of a complex cmmunity- from the fields of commerce, labour, agriculture, education and the liberal professions-ready and willing to undertake the responsibility of Municipal Government for the common welfare of the community.
