The intelligence that the item on the Parliamentary Estimates—L6ooo, grant-in-aid uf the Alexandra Bridge-had passed, was the most welcome that has reached us for some time past and doubtless caused a thrill of joy to pass ihrough the breasts of our County Councillors, The luckless position the County Council was in with ita credit stopped, a big overdraft and dunning creditors, could have been no enviable one ; but now, relieved as they are by this vote of the weight of their responsibilities, they should be happy ;] at all events happier than they have been, and in a frame of mind better fitted to attend to thtir true duties, and the same time to acknowledge the source through which the timely relief sprung, We shall give no uncertain sound. To Mr. Vincent Pyke, the late County Chairman andjpresent member of the |l)unstan District, we give all the credit, and we think it would be but a small act of grace on the part of the County Conncil if„they, by only a few empty words acknowledged it. Throughout all the bickerings in the Council over the pecuniary difficulties they were lapsing into, Mr Pyke, fr «m the chair, always said that he could, and would, s.eerjthe (County ship :dear of all difficulties; and that he has done so, none (but those who won’t see) can deny. What with this vote, and nearly the whole of the roads taken off the County’s hands by the Roads and Bridges Construction Act, Vincent County Councillors should be able soon to put their house in order, and find enough out of the suiplus to ptocead with all the works that may be necessary.
