Burbidge, pro geant, vice John erfield is anxious to be rid of it, especially as the salary of $100 a month without a sufficient allowance for incidental expenses is not a reasonable remuneration for the duties performed and the responsibilities of the position. If Mr. Westerfield persists in relinquishing the office it will be a long time before a successor will be found who will take as much interest in the work and 'labor as incessently, intelligently and conscienciousty for the good of the city as Mr. Westerfield has done. He by constant attention and hard work has succeeded in purifying and keeping free from pollution the sources of the citys water supply. Last summer there would have been a water famine had it not been for the precautions taken by him and the new methods put in operation for husbanding the supply.

Why if Bishop Potter does not change the ladies will contend that he has hardened his heart like ancient Pharaoh. And Bishop Potter!

However it does not look exactly right to have the temple on a court seal It is unfair to the other churches. There are plenty of designs which can be secured and offense given to no one.
