all accounts not in 9 he further says two of tho coun cillors objected to- that the 10 notwith standing they obtained the committee at lealst 880 worth of gravel therefore hav ing a clear gain of 70

platform laid down is nearly exactly the same as that of the ii rat temperance societies organized about century ago and which have ad vanced ovef- successive stages until the scott act just a step

thought it best to corr jet theim and with your per mission i wil endeayor so to do in my feeble way as regards the legal letter mentioned by l pv i avill justbaylthat ithinkitis something liketlie

emphaticallyj and i defy contradiction that i have ever opposed the cemetery of six acres by vote or otherwise i plead guilty to opposing the many supposid sohemes toj foist tho whole 19 acres upon

i notice an account of the road commissioner- in which he has charged the c6rpohtion for 41g hours or 4135 days at 20 1 cents per hour which according to my calculation would amount to 8320 but instead of that amount i see that he drew from the treasurer s25 atone time and 6820 at another time these two amounts make 89820 how is it the council paid him 10 more than he was ontitled to it may be that he requires something more for keeping a couple of men steadily at work so that no time is lost i think it must be a profifablo position to be made a road commissioner ia acton i never knew prior to this thatthe chairman of streets and sidewalks got pay for over seeing the work it is no wonder he aspires to that honorable position i do hot think it will pay this corporatiop to use its
