Commission, making the Commission once more complete, after the recent resignations of Westwood and Krueger. “Let us ail hope that the new Commission will find the going smoother. The unhappy fact about the Breau of the last Commission is that internal ‘strife, which finally errupted into public. recriminations, accusations, and the threat of libel suits, was caused not so much by basic differences. of opinion as by the methods through which these opinions were expressed. We in the Commonwealth have always been proud of our traditions of sound, responsible parlia- mentarianism. These traditions «should have equal force in Ottawa, Victoria, ‘or’ Castlegar. A little. more caution. and thoughtfulness _i _procedure and expression on the one hand, anda a tittle-more courage and initiative during voting and discussion on the other should certainly bring better results. A case in, point: “sponsored by- Westwood and, Krueger to bring - in a water works engineer for a ‘new survey was adopted unanimously. At the next meeting, after Westwood and Krueger resigned, the’ motion was dropped quiet- ty by the remaining Commissioners. Had they.changed their opinion — or had they. voted for the motion in the first place to Sores Krueger and West- wood? 5 There is hardly any ue en anyone’s. mind that our Commissioners, past and present, are sin- cerely trying to work for the best of the Village. tt would be tragic if for lack of retraint, maturity, and initiative ‘they ‘should frustrate: their own honest ‘aims.
