PROGRESS.

(To the Editor Stratford Past.) —Sir, —Kindly allow* me to point out (1) That T did not object to persons getting access to their sections. I. asked for access to mine and agitated till I got it, and when I was a councillor did what I could to assist other people to get access. Instead of a loan,. I advocated increasing the permanent staff, obtaining up-to-date implements, and carrying out a definite scheme of improvements with these means. (2) I pointed out that the present was a bad time for loan raising, as the money market was so tight. (3) Before spending a large sum of money on metalling, I vsaid it would be advisable to wait until tar spraying and tar macadam had been satisfactorily proved, and in the meantime the borough staff could proceed with the necessary preparatory work. If this is unprogressive, then I am content to.be unprogi’essive. “Progress” evidently belongs to those people who consider that the expenditure of other peopled money in large sums is progress. —I am, etc.,"' , , t AXBEIISOX.'
