High Schools Board
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —His Worship the Mayor (Mr DMcFarlane) was absent from the monthly meeting of the High Schools Board, which took place yesterday evening. 'Some of your readers may have thought my strictures on Mr McFarlane’s conduct too severe, but I think it will now appear pretty plain that they were fully justified. Mr McFarlane will now probably try to show that a prior engagement to take the chair at Mr Hatch’s meeting prevented him attending the High Schools meeting. Had Mr McFarlane been anxious or even intended to move his motion of which he had given notice he could have got the Board to meet earlier so as to suit his convenience. But lam informed that no communication was received from his Worship in regard to his very important notice of motion. I think the Board 'should not have allowed such a notice of motion to appear on its books, and as the intended mover was not there to move it it should have been treated as an insult to the other members of the Board and expunged from the record’. I hope the ratepayers will to: morrow return a gentleman capable and willing to do his duty as Mayor and a governor of the High Schools without fear or favour. —I am, &c., BtJROESS. 28th Nov.
