TO THE EDITOR OF THE STANDARD.
Sir, —In the Road Board minutes published last Wednesday, the Secretary makes the Board to say “ that there is not the slightest foundation for the charge ” of untruthfulness which I have brought against Mr. Lysnar. It is proper that the Board should protect its officers; but, assuming that what the Secretary has written is correct, the Board is somewhat inconsistent in its defence of Mr. Lysnar. It has become a'‘question of personal veracity between that gentleman and pfyself; and as he has considered it his'duty to repudiate his share in the delay of auditing the accounts, I shall best defend my own position, by silence, maintaining, however, my conviction that, as he was a party to the agreement which caused the delay (a fact he has not yet denied) and then pleads ignorance of it, he is guilty of untruthfulness in its most offensive sense, —he not only suppresses the truth, but he suggests a falsehood.— Yours, fee., H. E. Webb.
