Mayoral Election.

if (L'p the Editor.) 'I Sir,—l was not surprised to learn j (pom yesterday's llaily that His a tlifi Mayor bjei} threat--0 si;ed lyjth a sijit of damages i[i igojiii sequence 01' uj) the water f tables. If the Mayor and Coi!!™" 1 considered the water tables a souro? ' of danger to the pubjlo they ought ,to m called upon the Water Supply , /. -ittoo, "upon ffliom the Coun--1 'i iTo,i ;tt I"® 1 * to , oil had comtjuv... : remove or abate the dangi.. . / ; existed,'" which I very much doubt. ' The Renall Water Supply lias been 1 a long time before us, but the Coun* ' cil| prejudiced from its inception, has persistently refused to make any honest endeavor to securo it to the 1 public, and in the absence of any i other it would have been a great public benefit; but bitter personal feeling against' Masterton's G. 0. M. has constantly interfered to prevent the scheme from obtaining a fair trial, and now, afraid that the coming contest might result in the election of a-Mayor who might consider the scheme fir from the unreasoning prejudice which has actuated the present Council, then try to got rid of the whole question by committing an illegal act against the Water Supply committee find Mr Eenall, and illegally throwing away the ratepayer's money by carting gravel into the water channels. Sir, it i 3 pitiful and mean thuj to treat an honourable burgess who has the good of the community, mainly at heart, and & most suicidal policy on the part of the no progress party, especially on the ere o! m > election, which must result in the i defection of a large amount of their . friends, as will be seen when the : result of the poll is made known. , Yours, etc, , ■ Fair Play, | November 22, 1890. i
