MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS.

Councillor Murray is playing a but showing sound sense in raisinr-. || questions concerning departmental adminatn. tion of our council. His fellow out ridicule. Personally, I suffered the nintrifr cule and abuse when I brought attack on the abattoirs, which the whole "' contended was paying. I proved tW hi lost £1000 a year for five years. Tkr-kMfiiiP was on the other side that night blind followers of election tickets accepted my means for redemption nptta loss. When I held up the Tram Canwr purchase, maintaining they were BaSff! £700,000 too much, when no valuatutt assets had been made, the same . abas ridicule was poured out by my fdlow qglßPl cillors. Everyone now knows tint stniit' purchase at such a price was the whole of our transport collapse, not only in but throughout New Zealand. Again, vhaa?l' p opposed the pulling down of the bnildon the Civic Square before any had been sanctioned by the citizens, least £1000 per week to the ratepayers, !!! ?- same ridicule was forthcoming. the election ticket system produces a out tjtj " council and public debate in council disappears. I say to Councillor Murrain straight ahead, take all their ridknle. •'«. ,t -r :
