A FIVE-POUND NOTE.
To the Kditor. Sir, —At the Uorougli Council meeting last evening, one Councillor seemed to attach undue importance to the money aspect of the question of extending' the hours lor the billiard saloon.-. That live-pound note loomed too large in bis imagination. The question is not one of money. It is a question of what will 'be be-t for !he mora! as well as the physical welfare, of our people—young men especially. The interests of the keepers of the saloons must be a, secondary consideration: but, they must not be treated unjustly. If the five pound fee is too high for them when they have to close at ten o'clock, which is the hour most conducive to Ihe good order of our town, then reduce the fee. Had the saloon-keepers approached the Council asking for a reduction of the fee, there would have been no deputation, in fact, those who were on it would, have endorsed the i.ppeal for reduction. J am. etc.. ONE OK TIIK DKPITATION.
