TEA RATIONS TO THE POOR.
(To the Editor of the Evening Star.)
Sib,—With- reference to the Believing Officer's report to the Charitable Aid Committee at last meeting of the Council, and which appeared in your paper last evening, allow us to flatly deny that there was any foundation for such a report to appear in Council. The tea supplied by us as ration tea was fully as good, if not better quality tea, than that sent as a sample with our tender, and we say on no occasion did the tea supplied by us as ration tea cost less money wholesale than that sent to the Council as a sample. We think it is not fair tons, as contractors, for such a report to go'before the Council without any foundation whatever. We have always made it a point to give the poor people that obtain such rations the very best possible value, - and in many cases have given them better quality of goods than the samples.—We are, &c, Meabs and Co.
2ad December, 1882.
