CIVIC REFORM.
SYDNEY CITY COUNCIL. j (FROM 0 US OWJI CORUESPONUENT*) SYDJJJOY, Februaiy 13. There had been hopes that the Civic Commission would be allowed to rule the destinies of the city of Sydney tor a few more years, but under the law introduced by its snqpgors, the Bavin Government, it will cease to exist next June. The Labour Party, out to dominate once more the civic government of Sydney, has already marshalled its forces for the forthcoming election tor the reorganised C'itv Council, and 1S quietly confident of an overwhelming triumph. . Labour's opponents m this domain, the Civic Reformer, appear to be
hanging off for the defining of the new ward boundaries before making a big move, but if they are not careful they , will be caught napping. Labour, on i the contrary, lias already mapped out its plan of battle. The generalissimo of the Civic Reformers, Sir James Murdoch, a seltmade man who h^ B done much tor the advancement of the city, and whose big emporium is pnfl of Its landmarks, is tireless in his activity, but if hi? Party and its sympathisers wish to have any substantial voice in the new City Council, and to free the city from the shackles of Labour's extreme wing, then they "must strike the blow," in Byronic phrase, and strike it early.
