THE STRATFORD CITY FATHERS.
To the Editor. Sir,—Y our Stratford correspondent complains of the neglect of the Council in regard to the streets of our borough. I believe he is quite correct, but he evidently does not understand the councillors. I hasten to explain. The Council is composed of a body of intellectual, intelligent individual thinkers, but thcv have no collective ideas of what is required in spending their revenue for the best results on the streets. We can only sympathise with them, as they are very worried. The main trouble is that the whole of the names of the present Council are engraved on a greenstone slab erected on the new municipal buildings. They know they ■had nothing to do with it, and are in a 9tate of nervous tension as to what the present public and posterity will think of it. The public laugh, the school children are moved to merriment, and now that your correspondent knows the reason perhaps he will refrain from further criticism.—l am, etc., IMiPERATOR. Stratford, June 3.
