The Mayor. at Monday night's meeting of the (Town Fathers. took the Advance to task for the criti- cism. stating that he had been in cor- respondence with the Government in rieference to the matter long before we ever knew such action twas con- taemplatied. `All we have Ito say to ' this is that if the .Mayor is sincere in ' this statement. and we have no reason ' to believe otherwise.` (it xseems .a grave error of `judgement to carry 1 on such negotiations. without plac- ing the facts in his `possession fully before the Council. The fal1ac y of the.` Mayor's course of proceedure was "shown on Monday night`. when he announcedthat an interview had been arranged with the Government for Thursday next.
