COUNCILS AND COUNCILLORS.

[To Thm Editor Stratford Post.] Sir, —Of late your journal has heei the solace of my evening hours, aid with delight have I perused the col nmns of matter emanating from tin late* lamented members of a detune Council. The era was peaceful. 1 was soothing to turn from the wa news to paragraphs that flowed witl milk and honey, and to read the path etic farewells tendered hy each am every dear departed.

Two blocks of till main street have been kerbed an! channelled two different widths—veil picturesque! The levels of the foot! paths have been altered, but not th paths themselves—very artistic!

You ai asked to instal a new lighting plai. and you are assured that the Electr cal Supply Company will melt down it plant without a murmur! You ai committed to build new Cliambei with a row of windows on top like boot factory! You are faced with fading water supply, an incompletfl drainage system,, an antiquated fill brigade, and a weed-strewn area <1 side footpaths! Buck up!—l am, etcl “HIGH ART.” I
