We recently suggested that it would be wise the Borough Council were to make a general revision of their by-laws, which have been tested and proved to be unworkable, and wc are glad to notice that the hint has been taken. It is a wise step inasmuch as the ahsurdity of going on from meeting to meeting, altering one by-law and excising another, simply tends to render the members of a body, w’hieh should bo respected, ridiculous in the eyeo of the public. i'inie af'er time have prosecutions been made by the Town i lerk. but in nine cases out of ten the defendant has, after the result, been, figuratively spunking, enabled to put his finger to his nose ami l itigh at those who had prosecuted him. The present step is a most sensible one, and we feel sure the public will agree with us.
