PECULIAR ECONOMY.
[To tiie Editor of the Daily Telegram.] Sir,—The Borough Council has already paid upwards of £250 on account of expenses 'incurred through the small-pox patient, and are at the present time unable to render the account of the total expenses to the Government in consequence of a certain councillor who poses as being the very embodiment of economy objecting to the'ehurges made for advertisements by a rival contemporary. What will bo the result? The charge made will have to be paid, and tho Borough funds will sustaiu at least a month's loss of interest on which it 8 per cent, will entail a loss of £1 13s Id. Well the above councillor, who is a caudidato for re-election, parades this in his advertisement to the electors ': Of course he will not, but he ought to be made to pay the amount of loss of interest sustained by tho Borough through his absurd economical ideas.—l am, &c, September G, 1884.
