The Mayoralty
It seems that we are to have a contest after all for the office of Chief Magistrate of
Ingersoll. We regret this. Mr. Edward Barker, it is said, will oppose
Mr. P. J. Brown. We have already expressed our opinion as to the fitness of
Mr Brown to fill the office, and we so no reason to change it. While we would
be pleased to see Mr. Barker again in the Council, we think, taking all things in
consideration, that Mr. Brown, if elected, will be able to serve the town more
acceptably than Mr. Barker. Next year will be an eventful one in our history as
a town, and it would be to our advantage, on this account, if for no other, to have
a lawyer in the chair.
