In the shrunken state of our finances, it is liigii time tliat/ Councillors looked their expenses squarely in the face. At present it. about half, our income to pay instead of spending the money on thWipads. Why does not the Mayor come out of his shell, jmd . look into it.—Yours &c. • ■■■■■' . ' ■ Watchdog.
