TO THB EDITOR OF THE TBRSS. ',' . 'fa Sir,—-As one who has known our 'fa sent worthy Mayor, Mr C. M. Gray,, for fa ;fa many years f 1 beg to second warmly the suggestion of your correspondent fa * "Justioo" in to-day's issue of ';Th«i;.,fa' Press," that tho vacancy caused likely to. be caused) on the Board, owing to tho:resignation-'ofrMifai'&l; Geo. Booth, should bo filled bytlw'apyfa ;| point men t of Mr Gray to tho yotir correspondent says, "many aider Mr Gray was unjustly ignoredfav ;; | when a seat was previously vacattd *yi? ? and he was undoubtedly entitled seat as the next on' the .poll." from that consideration an important one), Mr Gray a good deal for Christchurch. 'l 8 :: capacity" and %nother. during " §* residence in the .city; he intimate acquaintance with affairs, and is known asa conscientious public man, and im x getic and zealous worker. If the Jnsjlpiffl 'M was put to the iMiblio voto, I havo.-njJt'Mi the slightest- doubt that Mr Gray:. now be returned' as a member Tramway Board by •'» majority. And, as the Board is in the public interests and to out. so far as practicable, withes, it is bound-, as it to do as it knows tho public it to do in regard to this matter, and Mr Gray the-vacant chair. be not only in the public interests an act of bare justice as well.-—Y^QMa|^m| '■■. : ■a^ratepayi^ml ■ February 23rd.' -. : fa " : : J^:^^^&M
