' If they could get good representatives in the Council they had a prospect of a fair expenditure of the rates, but not unless. As the artiele in the "Star" said, North Lismore has inany natural advantages and is the best situated part of the city. 1'hey had been hampered in one Avay and, another, but the fqture of tho suburb never looked brighter than it did to-day.
