BOROUGH COUNCIL BYE-LAWS.
TO THE EDITOH. Sir,— Allow me through your paper to make a few remarks on the bye-laws, that the Council are to consider at their next meeting. The bye-laws No. 3 and 4 must certainly have been drawn up by some one within the magic cirole of 26 chains from the Post Office, but I think Sir, if the Council want to increase its revenue, they have started at the wrong end, by compelling a person to pay a license fee for hawking a few cabbages, butter, &c, and allowing those that cart up the Btreets with their buggies, draya, &c, to go free. In No. 4 bye-law, I think we come to the question of making one law for the rich and another for the poor, for, §ir, I think that all cattle should be under control of their owners after sundown, but if there is a penalty for cattle, roaming at large in one part of the borough, there should be over the whole, or we shall have plenty of those living within the magic circle sending their cattle to us.— l am &c, Outsider. Hamilton, Feb. Bth, 1880.
