CORRESPONDENCE.
(We do not hold ourielres responsible for the opinions expressed by our correspondents.) THE BOROUGH QUESTION. TO THE HEITOR. Sir, —Will you kindly allow me apace in your valuable paper to answer Ratepayer's letter of the sth of November. I fail to see the saving the ratepayers would get by throwing the Town Boards into a Borough, unless Ratepayer is aspiring to the chair for which he would receive £7O or £BO a year, or the clerk and overseer ship, for which the salary would be double, as no clerk would do double work for the same pay that he receives for one. Unless Ratepayer can show more plainly how retrenchment is to be made, I cannot agree with him. As to petty Boards, if the Town Boards were thrown into one, and it were possible to do so, there would bo a Charitable Aid Board —so that it would be doing away with one Board to make another. Of course hat would not be a petty Board if Ratepayer were to preside at it—and then we should have the good governing body!—l am, etc., GK Edgeler, B.C. [There would not be a Charitable Aid Board if the two Boards were amalgamated.— The Editor.]
