BOROUGH INSPECTORS.

BOROUGH INSPECTORS.

(To the Editor.) Sir, —In answer to a, letter in Saturday evening’s “Tribune,” signfed “A Trader,” the writer makes two statements, and 1 feel called upon to correct him. The first statement is this: “The Borough Council are to lie congratulated in their action in reappointing Mr. Fawcett to the chief inspectorship of our borough.” The real position is this: Mr. Fawcett has been appointed building inspectot, and Mr. Dunnett has been appointed inspector ot nuisances, water wastage and traffic inspector—there is no chief about either of them. I hope this makes the position perfectly clear. Now the second statement 1 disagree with is this: “But whatever the council do, it will be reassuring to Mr. Fawoett to know that his eappointment has met with universal approval from the business people of this town.” Now m answer to that statement I would like to ask “A Trader” what right has anv man, and particularly one who does not have the conviction to sign his name, to make such a statement for the business people of Hastings? I may sav. I have traded in Hastings for 35 years, and he certainly has no such authority from me.—Yours etc., M. JOHNSON. Hastings, 22/8/27.
