THE "CITY FATHERS."
(.To the Editor of the Daily Teleg-baph.] Sib, —At a meeting of the Borough Council held last evening a notice of motion standing in the name of Councillor McKay fell through owing tJ notice of such a motion not being according to the Municipal Act. The minority, on finding that the action taken was illegal, put their heads together, and at once gave notice of a special meeting to be called for Friday the 14th instant. As all things change, mark the latest. These worthies, on finding that Councillor McVay's vote would be necessary to perpetrate a job second 1o none that has ever taken place within the limits of Municipal freedom, forced our worthy Town Clerk to alter the date of the notice read, before Councillors, in order that and for the sole purpose of bespattering a gentleman with frothy inuendoes, which they are too timid to attempt to substantiate. Sir, I should like to know what right any one or two members of the Council have to change the date of the notice of motion for the purpose of securing the vote of a pet designer, which, I may say, is irretrievably lost.—l am, &c,
Ratepayer.
