A WORRIED COUNCIL
(To the Editor.)
Sir,—Mr. John Hutcheson seenii to M very concerned about the various ratepayers' associations and others, "worrying the council." Would Mr. Hiitche-onlike the present system of municipal government to continue, taking into consideration that modern municipal government, is r _uch an unqualified success in other parti of the world? One must give every credit to the Mayor and councillors for the very hard. work they do in the interests of- the people, but past councillors were equally attentive to the duties under a system of local government that has caused extreme dissatisfaction in this city and has been the cause of nearly a score and a half of associations endeavouring to find-a remedy for a state of things that should, be abolished forthwith. Appointing two capable officials, an engineer and town clerk,. is only a palliative and will be more or lese a failure unless a competent outside tribunal is appointed to indicate what .should be done for the purpose of preventing those who are elected as councillors performing work that they are not fitted to perform on account of not having been trained for work of this kind.—l am, etc* W. STUART WILSON. 20th October.
