The meeting was then thrown open, and as usual Uncle Jim Rowell came promptly to the front. What would a tow n meeting be without Jim’s falset t o observations anyway? He clearly came to scoffbut remained to —well, hardly to pray, but at least to champion the measure. Indeed Saturday’s overwhelming vote was attributed (by Jim) to his conversion and zeal for the cause. The very fact o f said conversion is eloquent o f the unanswerable arguments piled up for the af firmative, for as a usual thing Jim’s yea is yea and his nay, nay, fo r ever and amen. But by his statesmanlike attitude the other evening he placed himself in ex hibit one, class “ A ” of wise men whose prerogative it is to change their minds. Clearly the feature o f the even ing was the speech o f J. C. Hod- son, member of the City Council. In a truly masterly manner he completely reviewed the situa tion confronting the city, from every possible angle, then draw ing his conclusions in favor o f the purchase o f the springs in clear cut, forcible language.
