And now we find * him making! t},_ odd man to make art election contest, ar.d. so far as the Kcncral i-.ody of ratepayers are informed, Mr llou]t is on the same ticket as the old members ; and I think it is only fair to those who have to foot the frill that he Should give his reasons for pausing the expenditure of say £350 of rates.— V am, etc., J.
