Editor Sentinel:- - ' Some four .weeks 'after your report of the' nomination meeting, Councillor Murdie discovers that ' he does not mean 'what he.'said at that meeting Tliis is gpite in line, with the action of the Council..in February' fast. They, held a special meeting OA -passed a slanderons motion, a copy,, of which, tlfey •sent-ule tnder, iek'isicir�l. ina1il,, acid [►Iibli hs.'d it in S (Iii•.J',$ 4 .1. f I►• a'nart► seated the gross revenue of the .plant as $4111000 or thereabouts.' - • In your issue of the following week, I ch_allanged the Count j1 ort tis panic. and offered to submit my books to the County • Auditor, which challenge the. Council -failed to accept. the= --time- the .motion waw -paged by the'Council it was grass revenue I. had given. When the copy of tl a'rii:;t wras •'dt rcvt "tel 111P� -it rtra�i �;'t*�►s�t Whi.>; ! tb, ioot- `•hitt- apt a lydt `in the Sentinel,' it was gross revenue. When •the Sentinel was published the following week it was gross •revenue, as the Council had taken no' action to g.. at - char a it,* Anci the time my challenge appeared i'n' your paper'it was still gross revenue that the Coonci.l meant. But after• my challenge appeared in jlle Sentinel we find that' the Council'had arrived at the conclusion that they didnot mean gross revenue, but some lother sort of revenue for which apparently they copid not find a name; so they found it expedient to strike .the 'word "gross" from the motion, and Tat:We e motion just plain revenue. ' It is apparent that, it is impo:.'sj'►le for the public to know at any perti- cular time what the members of the Council do mean. The publishing of the ,.motion in question, whether intentional on the part of. the Council or not, was an at= tempt at slander: Wotil'd it not have. been only fair on the part of the, Council, when they altered this motion as they had published it, to have also advised, the public through the Senti- nel that they had done so? A. P. Stewart • It Was Sever a January One of the "oldest - residents" is quoted as saying that he' "had• seen • hundreds of . January's," but he never before saw one without a January thaw-" Well 1, a will net be , able to 'say ,that with truth again even should he live another hundred yea= or .more'.. The ,January that has .just gone by will go down .to history as one of the coldest on record. That's ,what ev- erybody thinks about it, whether true or not according to Mr. MacDonald of. the. government -records.. • There was not only no January thaw; -but, throgghbut the month the snow was never softened to any. noticeable de- gree. Twice we had a temperature of 22 below zero,rand the mercury was flirting with the zero. mark al- most all the tinge. Then there were snowstorms almost without ceasing. As a final, and to cap the climax, • we had last Saturday, with the unusual condition of a stiff wind blowing while thermometers registered •20 and 22' below zero. • If there ,is any truth in the old - weather sign of the bear and his shad- ovb, we -have still another six weeks of hard winter ahead.
