SOME FACTS ABOUT THE MAYOR.

Lxu IHB Editor Stratford Post, i Sir, —Mr Kirk wood keeps on about the bridge, constantly harping on the same string. Let this be enough for him. I have never for one moment faltered from my idea of a lovely tarred road the full width of Broadway from the Opunake Road to the Pembroke Road. In this road we have an asset second to none in the Colony. We will let it rest at that until a more opportune time. Now for Mr Kirkwood. As a Mayor he has been a ghastly failure, and he knows it right well. Look over his letters to you, Can you find a single line of justification for anything he has done? In one of his letters he defended the channelling in Broadway by saying that they would keep themselves clear. But do" they ? ! "The' same men are seeii with the same old brooms sweeping them out, and occasionally the process is varied by taking the refuse from the channels, and leaving it in picturesque but filthy heaps alongside. No, Sir, not a single thing that Mr Kirkwood has done is a success: hence ho is a failure as Mayor. Now about the loan. Does Mr Kirkwood imagine for one moment that the public have forgotten that he wished to spend no less a sum than three thousand pounds on Broadway between the Bridge and East Road? Does he imagine that we have forgotten he wished most earnestly to saddle the whole borough with a drainage scheme that would benefit only one part of the Borough? Does he imagine that we have forgotten that a short time ago he wished to impose extra rates upon us and thereby raised the ire of the ratepayers? These things prove his partiality. Now, Sir, is a man both incompetent and partial a fit person to lie Mayor of a town?—l am, etc., HENRY WILSON.
