THE COUNCIL AND THE TOWN BELT.

TO THE EDITOR. g IR —t; have been waiting to read Cr Sincock’s reply to the very pointed questions of vour correspondent Liberty Uncurtailed,” but never a word from him! Cr Sincock, mover of the resolution confirming the obnoxious by-law, cannot be thus permitted to blush unseen. Do Cr Sincock and his fellow conspirators against the ancient liberties of the public think that they can get away with this thin"’ Thev are much mistaken it they Jo ° Quite "a few of my neighbours say they do not intend to vote for a single member of the present council who is seeking re-election, and I quite agree with them. We need councillors who can be trusted. Apart from the raid upon the Town Belt, the council has done another thing that should condemn it— I refer to the opening of the quarry that is going to ruin tho second beach at St. Clair as a playground for the public and turn a beauty spot into ugliness, 15y these two acts, sitting members of the council stand, I submit, strongly condemned. The by-law must be repealed and the quarry must be stopped. There are candidates for the counr-il at the coming elections who can he depended upon to see to it. — 1 am, etc., Vox Popii.i. f' irii 14.
