Reports and rumours are many in regard to alleged proceedings for the upsetting of the recent municipal elections, but officially there is nothâ€" ing yet in the matter. Up to noon toâ€" day neither the Town Clerk nor the Town Solicitor had heard anything exâ€" cept the talk that may be heard by anybody on the street. There is absoâ€" lutely nothing official up to the preâ€" sent. Of course as soon as proceedâ€" ings are under way, the Town Clerk and Town Solicitor will naturally know about it. At the Council meetâ€" ing on Monday, Mr. Gauthier said that the Judge had granted a fiat for the hearing of the protest. The Town has not official notice even of this, but as soon as further proceedings are deâ€" cided upon it will be necessary to noâ€" tify the Town as one of the parties concerned in the case. _ The Advance still fails to see anyâ€" thing good that can be accomplished by the protest or by any election that may result. The general opinion is that the present council will be only confirmed in emphatie way, and that proceedings can hope to accomplish nothing but to continue unnecessary bitterness, and force the town to exâ€" penditures otherwise unnecessary.
