*"_ ■ » — — — ~-i Ji. TO* THB EDITOR; j Stßt^We are ! to be favored with a Contest for the~mayoralty. Is it not Btrange that the other suburban boroughs ca^ .arrange yearly shall be their civic rriier Without the expense of a contest, and h».ve a change- too occasionally and seem content. But we — it' is tb.9 same thing "frYer- again, Mr John Garmson always figuring as one of the candidates. This year -His opponent is Mr Thomas Brandford, whVh'as' held'a seat in the Council ever -jsince it kas been gazetted as such ; and has 'ever been forward in advancing its interests. Both parties are busily canvassing. truth too, that the outside electors and the energetic way in ;which they are worked up always -fleeure the return of Mr Garinson. He has . ?h»ld : office now for three successive years, and giving him all credit for his labors^ and everyone will admit he has done his best for the borough — he has his crotchets too — but who is without them ? Still v rib f ßrandford is just as willing to do i* his. beet, and can be trusted to serve the borough honestly, having gained his experience as a councillor, and at least deserves some recognition from the ratepayers for his pasfc services. I hope this year the outside electors will refrain from voting or go in with the residents, who desire a change and are quite willing to 6'nfrast the spending of the rest of the loan ..ft&Mr Brundford, he being as able to see tKe 'ratepayers get the worth of their money ;as Mr Garmson. Hoping Wednesday's result of the polling will give us a change — I am, &c, •. Vs ! ' ■ '■■' ' One Who Desibes It.
