Owed to me I have found such men as r. Irwin who pay very little or no taxes who believed that It was their duty to pull as much money as possible out ot the Town treasury and renderjust as little val- ue as possible for it. Thanking you for the space Mr. Editor I am Yours, Ae. W. Calder. Mr. Irwin finishes up his article br referring to me as making a poor mouth for the town During the years I have sat in Council I have always taken this stand that the Town had a right, in the interests ofthe ratepayers. to the same consideration as an indivi- dual and should get value for every 1 am not here to advocate law in the interestsof the town, but it may be gossible that just such effusions " the Chronicle got " last week will be the means of recovering the amounts to the Town over and above the appmpna- Lion. ( Now sir, regarding the payment and I liability ot the extra amount over and 1above the appropriation. Since the action of the new council. I have Cone to the trouble end ex nse of submit- ting the resolution Cri2ruluel'dllti; efteetintt the whole job to one of the best Municiul lawyers in the province and his advice is that the Board of Works were clearly liable and respon~ sible to the town (or the amount over and above the 82(1) voted bv the council. and also that the members of the new council who voted tor or passed accounts exceeding the appropriation are personnlly lithe for the amount so voted, and can be recovered by any ratepayer bringingsuit therefor. A statement was made by one member oi the Board of Works that Mr. Kelly had offered to give Sililito help open the street, it there could not be suftieient funds got from, the council. Then as to Mr. Kelly's services as Treasurer, I am one of the ratepayers ol this town who believes Mr, Kellv is a first-class efficient otlioial and is certainly the right man in the right place. and would not for a moment say that he is getting enough or too much salary for his duties, bat when the Council of 1898 decided on attach- ing the duties of the collection cf rates to the Treasurers oftiee, we decided at that time that we could not allow any further remuneration to the Treasurer for the extra duties imposed on him, in view of the salaries aid to other oftieials of the town, and) " that time arrangements were made with Mr. Kelly by several members of the 1898 council that he should do the work without extra charge or remuneration. th the interest and for the harmony of the town it the matter had dropped at that state Evidently at the dictation of his masters or others, Mr. Irwin is not satisfied to let it rest there. In the articic Mr. Irwin starts out by some, reflections on the Review, and then goes on to say that the Board of Works exceeded their appropriation bat that they would have been Justified in asking supplementary estimates. I Mr. Irwin knows as well as he has i n nose. on his face that he is wrong in 1 this statement.
