BOROUGH AFFAIRS. TO THE EDITOR •_* THE STAB. Sib, — Will yon kindly allow me space in your paper to reply to a local in your last Saturday's issue that the " minute book of the CquScil Jmay be open for the inspection of thejturgesses, so that they may aee the arr&ngement between the . teuger aiid the Council. " I would wish 'He Burgesses to understand that an trlcsngement is aot an agreement, and hey wiU not be able to find there is any tgmement whatever. On the contrary, here is no agreement, either as Pounddeeper or Ranger, nor any agreement to nake him pay the rent of the pound, vhioh (by the way) is not yet paid. I wonder whether tnev would let a contract to Smith, Brown, or Robinson without a written agreement. If a written agreement is required for one, so it mist be for the- o^hor. As there is no igreement existing, and the position of Poundkeeper and Ranger not having lieen advertised and applications called 'or according to the by-laws and the Impounding Act, the whole thing is a farce and illegal, the whole of the moneys ;he said Ranger has secured from the pubhc for the sale of horses, impounding, and notices can he recovered from the Bor6ugh Council. You must also underderstand that a resolution was passed and 'carried that an arrangement should be drawn up and signed, which was not il&ne ; therefore resolutions in tbe Council are of no avail. — I am &c, Non De Plumb.
