A.t the present (im-i goafs, cows, pigs, and Reese could pick up a good living From thp abundance of grass e.'id clover urow. ing in tlip streets, i- iirolv, tlion, it is unnecessary for the welfare of anyono that Uip ]i'onlo should bo'driven away by added foolishness in llie shape of oppressive liyo-laws. i-.'ather lot the whole of those at present in operation be revised,' and such as are unsuitable to our present circumstances repealed. Failing tl'iis, tlio burgesses must agilatp, and continuo agitating until the whole unnecessary paraphernalia of Mayor, Town Clerk, Councillors, nnd their fnil be improved off the Thames, and (he whole district be under the authority'of the Counly Council. '{he thanks of llio community are justly due to Councillor McGowan for his protests in this matter. I may state thm, I have a choice little garden, do not keep goats or pig*, and very seldom require a porter.—Yours, &c„ ]). Middle Ward, Thames,-20th June, 1879
