To The Editor.

Sir,—’Whether the Town Clerk (Mr Charles Hash) did not approve of the description given his Johnny . by “Dog-owner,’' or whether he is trying, to make the financial year for the Borough .Council a decided success,, I ‘don't know; but I notice that Court- proceedings were taken against “Dog.-ownor” for being a few days ovtsrdue.in registering his dog. It seems to be a, financial ’ tor. If so, I.wjJl ofl’jeii a suggestion or two. (I) One of the local drapery firms has • really, taken little notice of his advertisement’ re shopkeepers over-stepping the footpath boundary, with their shop- decorations. The Cloi'k is, passing a chance of getting a few shillings from this firm through the law courts, ‘for not obeying his iiltimaitum.'" (2). A little mere revenue’ could be obtained for thb Bor. ougii. cash-box, and it ‘ would be a ’ - capital .idea;'if tlie Town Clerk would pounce down and charge rales on a few! of oUv Borohgh streets. I refer to that, portion of - limes - 'Street ■.extending' from’ High Street, to the adjoining sections'at the top end., if this is .i;ea,Uy';a-public- 'thoroughfare, why has-Mv George Dash (who is, I believe, A brother of the Town Clerk) 'the right 1 ' td ythe.use. of, that piece of road-way,’tpbdtli day .and night for the • purpose, of displaying traps, etc., in c6nnjsson with his "Buy, sell, or> swas§ A jbusiries&y Possibly Mr George' Dash has purchased this -piece of land;--|f, so could ; you enlight en me’ as $d whom he .purchased it 'frohipunHdwm,h(Jo3 ; ihe I not"' V-fefico . ifc’.Qfif or is r it that Mr „ George Dashes' 'a^jLijttle/iwore 1 intimate* with the : Town.' :few%on :,t,he .' ihayC haye him gross I' llhiuk, as a matter- of treating, nil ■. alike}* , appoint'this -yp^tb' 1 Johnh^ofp^Hdbd-.. fame, to gn round l.» luilm
