) ' To the Editor. Sir,—As one of the members absent from yesterday's meeting, to whom the Cluiirman's statement in reference to the Daily Times' special artielo might be supposed to apply, I wish your readers io know the following: Tlio Chairman,is reported to have sriiil, " The article was evidently" due tb the visit of tlio reporter to one mcmlrer of the Board," The reporter called on mc.tQ asl; my views on the new loan question. I said I woukl Htate llicni providctl ho would placo them Irtfore the public as my own news, ond ho consented. They will probably appear in the second article/ and I hope, also, with your permission, to have theni placed before your readers. I furnishfd tlio .reporter with no figures about the financial position of the Hoard, and .presumably ho.got-them from " llie Chairman, the secretary, and the other members," As to their correctness or : otherwise I cannot say, as 1 Have not examined them, Apparently, •however, tlio information acquired by lain has_ led'him to form a very decidc<l;opinion- against tlio necessity for a further £50,000 )onu,.ari(T. this is tlif ■lioad aiul.fi'ont 'of his offending in the eyes of some of our members.—l am, etc.,- • ' ' W.
