A COUNTY COUNCIL EMPLOYEE.
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —Further to- my letter of the 26th ult., and which you published on 2nd inst. I have noted your remarks re the county clerk’s reply. .Now, sir, I have seen the letter the county forwarded to the employee concerned, and can positively state that it did not contain in any way whatsoever a reason for his dismissal as stated by the county clerk. All it stated was “that the Council had endorsed the action of the engineer in employing a temporary man for the roads in Aria.” Does that savour of any explanation? Furthermore, we have not yet heard why the petition by the ratepayers was ignored, but we do know that when that petition went in the temporary man found himself without his position. The county clerk also states that the man in question has had work recently from the county. Well, yes, he has, if two days or so in a month can be called work. No, sir, the bluff will not work. What is wanted is the true explanation of this case, setting forth facts and putting the blame where it rightly belongs, which place we know.—l am, etc., A RATEPAYER.
