ANOTHER. LITTLE JOB.

-■;.' (T0 THB EDITOR OF THB 9TANDAnD.)j S l fe f __ i 'VV'hats m the wind, that the; Borough Council are about to call tenders for 50 sacts of oats ? : Who-i| (intended toge^ tliat contract ? It? seems to 1 me an : absurdity to'get sudh aVquantity at oncej unless it is for the Special benefit of the Borough rats. Really, Sir, the Council does- get* hold of some queer notions these days. : It is evid»nt that none of the small dealers are intended to have; any say m this contract.., I sayias>a ratepayer tKajt there is a clique^ m that' Council, that badly wants root-" 'Jng; put^ and. plosely watching till they "ftre.rooted. put. It wppjld be a, godsend, $ir, tohave the old»- men.back* such as '. Mr McNeil, MrLearyr,' Mr^Ferguson.Kr Jfensen, and others of the old Council, menWnd truei Not hut What there are gooti then m the present Council, but thecliqne is always trying, to work but some,new plan for swie little job, snch as the tenders for the blacksmiths', ten---1 ders and that for the rats.- I know that" some of the best Councillors will not, return to the Chimber when their time is : up, and unless we get some good men m their stead there, is a blue lopk out. Sco how bur \ Mayor is thwarted and 'brp\^beaten by sqnie of the men we put there to do- their 'duty and him tp regulate tl^ fioVougb;. business. Look at our Loa^l^ i'nice nicKS the clique, has put us ipi -with their inecldling. . Not since we were a Borough have our affairs been so mixed up, and our Councillors so often at loggerheads. I hope there will be a change^ome day.— -I am, &c, t Disgusted.
