THOROUGH OF HAMILTON. TENDERS will be received till 2 p.m. on TUESDAY, the 27th instant, for WORKS required in Clarence and Anglesea streets. Plans and specifications to be seen at this office. Lowest or any tender not necessarily accepted. J. M. GELLING, Town Clerk. Town Clerk's Office, Hamilton, 15th July, 1880. TO THE BORGESSES OF THE BOROUGH OF HAMILTON.

r\ ENTLEMEN,— The present Council vT took over a heavy overdraft at the Bank, less in amount now than when a majority of them took office ; and, besides, a threatened lawsuit, at the instance of Mr Seddon, for damage done to his property by the acts of their predecessoi'S. The Council, as your representatives, dealt with the latter in a manner which they considered the only and most economical way out of the difficulty, and showed no disposition to shirk their responsibilities. A section of the Ratepayers, however, having shown by their vote on Tuesday last that they think the Council was wrong in the course they followed, Councillors have decided, in the face of that vote and not deeming .the meeting referred to as a fairly representative one ou 60 important an issue, to call a Poll of the whole of the Ratepayers on a matter committing them to an expensive lawsuit, and so involving them, in the present depressed condition of the Borough finances, to a jjossible serious monetary loss. If the Council adopted the sense of the meeting referred to on the 6th instant, carried by a show of hands only, the bridge approach contract on the west aide now going on must be suspended until the relations of the Borougn with Mr Seddon have been settled by litigation, and there is danger in the interim of the said approach collapsing and traffic over the bridge being stopped altogether. B. C. BEALE, Mayor. Borough Council Chambers, Hamilton, 9th July, 1880.
