CORRESPONDENCE
BOROUGH WORKMEN.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —The disorder affecting your correspondent “ One who pays ” is more complicated than I ;at first thought. His second effusion indicates a callous epidermis and a thickening of the cranium. He has now added smoking to his list of sins, but his main fault is in not distinguishing between those doing the work and those responsible for the way in which the work is done, and also for the antiquated tools employed. I admitted that, progress was slow, but given the proper gear I am prepared •to back the team now doing the work against “One who pays” and any other two men. he selects. But these personalities and comparisons are odious. If “One who pays” is dissatisfied with the progress and method of borough work, why not come out openly and say he is a candidate for municipal honours. Let him put his suggestions before the K residents and abide by their vote. If 'he succeeds in “carrying the crowd” he may possibly find that he has a little more to pay, but it will be a more manly way than hitting below the belt through the medium of the press as the Result of his disorders. ONE WHO KNOWS.
