Now a.council of a small town ought to be capable of doing the work themselves, with the assistance of clerks. If not, they are not proper or fit councillors, and the sooner they are replaced by better men the better. If we can °t pro- cure good men and true, let us, as a final resort, return a. council of we- men, who I am certain won 't be dic- tated to by outsiders. A change will soon have to take place, else this otherwise prosperous town will beâ€" come bankrupt... .. _ in our section and you will go in sure.

Jack, we will support you 3. As to the charges that said commissioner had not given his whole time. and attention to the service of the town. I do not find thnt this is established by the evidence and admissions before me. The only instance attempt- ed to be so established was in the matter of super-intending the hospital grounds, which he did by permission 0! the coundl. 4-. It was asserted, but not proved by the said evidence and admissions, that the said comâ€" mit-low had been engaged in «abide contracts with other par- tie-.1! he an been engaged in such contracts without the ex- plicit permission of the council, it would have been a grave breach of duty. At this point. in the investiga- tion, counsel for the town com- missioner said, "I! there is any property of the town that he (the emulsions) has used we want to know it. and we want to have it investigated, because that is a chlrgu that goes to his character of honesty.” No other charge of tint nature was made by any one. 2. It appeared that two barrels «munchuisusodinmgk- in annouuuc walks, had been improperly charged to the town; am the town commissioner had certified to the account and the town had paid it, but, after a careful and thorough examination It was proven that this error was caused by inadvertence or mis- take on the part 01’ n clerk in the ofloe of the firm from whom the cement. was got. and that the count-stone:- had done nothing wrong in this particular. momma his dismissal by the council. 75 (eats a Year in Advice; 9.00 if Not so Paid vâ€"A Hmonigram sent across the Atlantic to the court. of Italy has been received in Cornwall by operas. tom who know nothing of the Italian language, which shows the accuracy, with which messages may be trans- mitted. ‘ i sâ€"Harhnd Wolfl, and Wprkmw Clarke ‘00., the two great ship-'- buflding firms of Belfast, Ireland, have mugged this year the output. of Scotch and Winn: WW ten thousand tons. with“ outgpt oi Ji , , -â€"They have;an a Cape locom the bgr De Wet but itistu‘ hoped engine “doesn’t emulate a' W touts in the tram-wrec â€"A deputation is to be sent to America. shortly by the London County Council to mvestigate the building ”tumultuous of the larger cities with a.
