As things now were, the Mayor, when his term ended 011 April 30, walked out of the Council and a fresh Mayor took his place. . Mr. Loudon thought some arrangement should be made whereby ex-Mayors, or pos- . sibly two ex-Mayors, should continue to nil S in Council for one or two years, -fifiich. a'. /•'! courio would, be in the interests of tile city. and ratepayers! In " small • municipalities where the chief functions were the collecting of rates and load-making, it did iwt»6o ; much matter, but in a 'city;, corporation where they had under their control so many undertakings and large finances, it was highly desirable that some alteration should be made in the law.
