None but those who have 'felt it can realise the intense feeling of relief that follows the release from all the responsibilities of a councillor, especially in an important city or town like Akaroa, and where so much surplus steam (and " you're another ") is flying about; no doubt it would be much worse where the mayor and council are not up to the rules of law and order. lam thankful to say my appetite has improved already, and I expect to be quite restored in a few weeks. I intend to let my customers reap some of the benefits resulting from the nibbles I have made during my term of office, by making Immense Reductions in the prices of my goods.
