CANADIAN INLAND THREE-CENT LET- TER RATE,
Sir,—Why should an inland three-cent high letter rate be a conspicuons feature of great disadvantage to the general pablic in these days of supposed improved ways and means of doing things? Why should the people of Canada be burdened withs one-cent higher inland rate while a general two-cent inland Jetter rate exists ino United States, Great Britain and Ireland,
the
Australia and New Zealana? Surely it is j time a three-cent inland letter rate should cea exist, a id a two-cent one take the place thereof, as adopte d and carried out in aforementioned countries. The general pob ¢ hae a right to protest against being

(There existe an
necessity to make a bold and} definite step in this direction). Why} should the people of Canada be debarred
the jegal rights of a general two-cent in- | land letter rate—a cent higher than their near and English speaking neighbours, etc, are put to.

Both form «@ national snbject, and showkd be dealt with without delay or procrastination, and the sooner a general two-cent inland letter rate is es- | tablished the sooner the public will appreciate the the necessary enactment, and the postal department nous the poorer, batincome angcmented. ft is a gross imposition upon the public to allow the three-cent inland letter ra‘e to still coa- tinue, as al! practical business men must foresee, and that in all comeercial enter prises there would, be a corresponding ncrease in oorrespondence and sale of stamps following the intreduction ot a general two-eent inland letter rate, and in various miscellaneous ways, and none bet a shallow-brained bigot of prejudicial }

Conn- cillors Crabbe and Lyons-vere of theopinion that there were not enough policemen, and the Recorder stated emphatically that in &is opinion the curfew by-law was im- practicabie. The Recorder however premised to make an effort to enforce the curfew by-law frovisions and also to try and stop corner-loafing, after whieh it would be seen whether the present police force was sufficient for the work. Some of the councillors in this debate were evi- dently * playing to the galleries ”. Coun- cillor MeCarronu stated that the “ leafers ” were a}l met looking for a day’s work but did not say anything about the lonfers in tbe evening, who have done their day’s work and area greater nuisawce than the others.
The Board.of Pire Underwriters offered electrical inspector and asked that one be appointed. the fire commifte. Aa electric light, to be placeé on Bishop

Redwoud esking to be paid-for furniture destroved during the small«pox outbreak some years ago was referred ioa com~ mittee to Gecide pon, and the claim of Jobu McKiwvon was reported upon by Councillor Taylor who recommended that $100 be peid. This was strongly oppesed by Coanestlor Crebbe who thought that the door t® imonmerable Jewsuite would thns be opened. After much debate Conncillors Hooper, Taylor, Lyons and | Wheatly, voted that it-be paid, but the motion was josticy the other councillors and the Mavor woting against it.
The chairman of the street committee, | Counciller Herne, submitted a report re- commending that alot ef old carts and other wore out -avpliances ‘be sold and new carts as well as ‘two new horses purchased. Also that the old e:ty horse known as the Costello horse be sold. This brought Ceuncillor Rooper to his feet to make the speech of the evening,} eloquently dixepproving of Councillor!

Those portraits are tote hung onthe walls of the council- chamber, and their cost is to ve defrayed by the ex mayors-or ther surviving relatives. The order bas been given by the former council. Councillor Crabbe woulf not agree to this resolatiou until written guarantees were obtaised that the $500 would be forthcoming, beat had no objection to paying for the framing of the portraits. Councillor Horne agreed with him. The argument brought forth euch an unparliamentary phrase as “you must bave wool in your ears.” Councillor MeCarron took a hand inthe debate and vowed he would not puy a single cent for any- thing connected with the paintings. He regarded them as no good.
