During last year a new building
was erected in Portland every work'
iug hour of each day of the week,
counting eleven hours to the day.
According to the census report,
rortlamrs population is about 45
times greater than St. Johns'. To
make just as good record in a build'
iug way in proportion to poputn
lion, 76 buildings should have been
erected here in 1010. The fact of
the matter is that almost double
that amount were constructed in
St. Johns, proving conclusively
that we are traveling at n much
faster rate thnn the city of Portland.

election could go by default if dis
solution was sure in juiy, nud we
believe no special harm would re
suit or any serious objection raised,
It is deplorable that the so-called
niiuexntiou election was not held in
such n manner ns to preclude any
question to illegality, hut since it
is so, it would be best for all con
cerued to have it settled, and tiie
sooner the better. The proper way
to proceed, we believe, would be to
circulate petitions which should be
signed by a large number of voters
asking that council huve the matter
tested, and then present same to
that body. In this way the cltv
dads would have something to work
upon. Sure it is that if St. Johns
