Councillior Moyer, according to teâ€" potts in the newspapers, would have the assessorship passed round _ and this is the reason fhe voted for Mr. Froehlich. ‘Accord‘nz to his process of reasoning, Mr. vietr.ch or some other party should have it next year. A man would no sooner get acquaintâ€" ed with the work than he would have to vacate the position to make wuy for someone else.. This would surely be a bequtifully wise policy _ indeeit. As a matter of fact so far as I know there were no charges brought against Mr. Froehlich last year wher _ ithe appointment of ay assessor was made and there appeared to be no good reason why he should not have bert reâ€"appointed. ‘ Dear Sir.â€"It is dificuit to underâ€" stand, the â€" attitude of : Councilior Moyer in reference to two questions considered at the mecting of the Counâ€" cil on Monday night. His stand on the matter of renting the Town Hall to the International Bible Students‘ Association was to say the least nartoxâ€"minded and lacking in that gencrous spirit which should animate those who wish to serve thetr â€" felâ€" low citizens in the capacity of public servants.. What authority was there in the first place for refusing these people the towr hail aiter they had engaged it? Did the Council _ meet: and pass upon the matter? They eviâ€" dently did not, as shown _ by _ the action taken at Monday night‘s meetâ€" Ing. According to newspaper reports, Councillor Moyer says he was one ot those responsible for the action taken in refusing the hall and as a result of which people had to crowd togethâ€" er in the Apollo Theatre on Sunday. and a large number who wished _ to hear the speaker had to stand â€" lor over an hour. What right had he to seek to bar citizens from the use of their own property, especially‘ _ when he had no valid and sufficient reasons for his action? TO THE EDiTOR :â€" APPRECIATE MR.
