a leading Advocate was once more unanimously elected Chairman.
MR. SUGANI, was, a few months back, Chairman of the Municipal Committee, Ajmere, but was unseated to make room for Mr. H. W. Firth, Deputy Chief Auditor, B. B. and C. I. Railway. Mr. Firth had, however, hardly settled down to his job when the Local Government announced the appointment of an Inquiry Committee to inquire into, and report on, the allegations of mal-administration and corruption prevalent in the Ajmer Municipality.
Mr. Firth considered it an insult and resigned, saying he should at least, have been consulted by the Government before they actually set up the Inquiry Committee. Mr. Sugani's election was a sequel to that resignation. Mr. Sugani has accepted the offer. We congratulate Mr. Sugani on the confidence which is reposed in him by the Ajmere public, and on his bold acceptance of office, in a spirit of public service.
STOP Press Message. Just as we were on the point of printing off our last form, we received a message, for which we make room, even at some inconvenience. So great is its import, and so beneficial it is to each and every member of the Jain Community. All schools and Colleges will soon be closing for long terms, and this interval may very profitably be utilised by teachers and students in doing such work for Jainism or for Jains, or for any part of humanity, as may best suit their circumstances and inclination.
