Perkins is a fit repmenh&e 1 Is it not a living disgrace to the city that a matter of so great importance should be kept unsettled ? Why send such ‘a man to the council board until at least his difficulty with the Corporaâ€" tion is adjusted? Hundreds of dollars has that difficulty cost the rateâ€"payers of this city, tirus helping to make our taxes what they are at present: Heis also a contractor with the Corporation, as the following bill will show, viz: l‘ To the Editor of the Ottawa Times h »Nem «To Lyman Perkins, Dr. «To broken lton:' aud gravel taken from his property, and, by thoCorpmlfiol? in makâ€" ing and repairing streets : fpet oi * " 1846 to.1800 loads, 1847 to 1800 loads, 1848 to 1000 loads, at 10c. $300.00 * 1849 to 950 loads, 1850 to 900 loads, 1851 to 1100 loads, at 10c. 295.00 «1852 to 1200 loads, 1853 to 1300 ‘ ‘loads, 1854 to 1000 luads, at 10c. â€"350.00 «* 1855 to 1500 loads, 1856 to 1200 loads, 1857 to 1300 loads, at 10c. 400.00 «1858 to 1400 loads, 1859 to 1600 loads, 1860 to 1500 loads, at 10c. . 450.00 «1861 to 1750 loads, 18962 to 2000 loads, 1863 to 3000 loads, 1864 3500,; &6 100..«¢1 +. «+ +2+s ¢+1++4 1025,00 4 1865 to" 3000 loads, at 10¢....... 200.00 Another Iawâ€"suit, no doubt, will be the final issue of the above account, as the Corporation will not admit of the claim, as most of the stone and rubbish . were off the public streets. Mr. Perkins now comes ‘forward, asking for what ? Asking the public to send him to the council‘ board, to vote their money into his pocket, What can the rateâ€"payers expect their taxes to beif such men are sent, perhaps for three years, to squander the funds of this city? Let people not be heard grumbling about the state ofsthis city in a few years hence, if they will send such .a man as Mr. Perkins to do their work. .With such a record of the past, what can be expected for the future ? 1503 cannot say hereafter that they did not know of the gimculdeio_x_illfi:g‘bdweed Mr. Perkins and the Corporation. ‘ Being a contractor with the Corporation, he is unqualified to take his seat, and we understand that a protest will be entered against his return. l{r.
