COUNCIL MATTERS.

(To the Editor .Gisborne Times.)'

Sir, —I little tbOjUghb that a mem-

her of the ncwi Council would soffar forget himself as to rush linho print .to. .try and nick holes in the go,old work of another Coimoillor. iWlien II say,

good work,*! h think I aiu near- tba mark, judging iby. She confidence Hint a largo number of ratepayers have lu ,\V, ii, L.„ who rap tbho Mayor to a close fetish for the Mayoral chair, 1 tops the poll -as a Councillor, boats an upright gentleman for a scat on the Harbor Board,, and ia still going strong and 'Well. Sir, I think it is an insult toi the intelligence of the ratepayers who pat W, D. U. at the ■top of the poll to have to. suffer a lot of bunkum from a man who got a seat on the Council through his amiable little ways at the door of the polling booth on election day. •Sir, ± think that any man must know; that W, J>. L. has a large stake in Gisborne also in Poverty Bay, anil has been known from .nis boyhood until to-day as a live man, and a good and us-eful settler. In the face of the high opinion in which this Councillor is held, it is painful to me and to others. I would suggest .that the Councillor who has been playing [to the gallery, and WD. Ib should resign, an r d I will nvn a third man in order to hays a good I go 3 • ■and then it will bP com- g men' sense ,yv & frog froth, I f s—l am, | ctc ’* , . ! EUBPSsnPE'Si .* ■
