A MIRAMAR MATTER.

:?'Sir,—ln your issue of even date, ,iinderthe heading A Council and its Ratepayers,'.' you have a report of the meeting,of the Miramar pprough Council. -There are one or two statements made, in this "report which I cannot allow to.ypass .without' challenge."'.'. ' The Mayor states that, he 1 "■ only, received twentyfour hours' notice of the meeting held" on .Wednesday Uast: ; J The letter-of' invitation t6tl 'on. -tlw. night ;.6'f: April'. &;■ and: shotlld hare been delivered, in the i ordinary, course, on. the .morning: l of the'7th.' Mr. Urawford.'in his letter of apology for nonattendance mentions:; that he had been out ?Sit 0,lr n and.tinly-received my letter on the Idth. It;;is surely, not fair to. say he "had only.twenty-four hours' notice," when owing to his absence from town ho did riot.receive nis mail for. a week. -';. . -. , It was stated that a meeting would "tend to interfere with the elections.?'' 'Nothing of the kind was contemplated, all that the association and. residents wanted was information they were justly entitled to, and which' Tt^ 1 . Deea . 2iv«n to them. As a' matter pt;iact, one councillor present at the meec-' Mg/expressed his belief that it was,the indention_of :the council to .hold: such a meet-' ing..' .In any case, in view .of thefact that a.number of■ the councillors' are not sekine re-electMn,(if rumour is true for once), it would be a 'graceful act for tho Mayor and council to give an account of their stewardship, and explam many matters on which the ratepayers would live to have information —1 am, etc., ." ■'■■'-. .:- '■■ ,:;;V: /;. 7J.
