Peters as an educated man of intelligence, honourable intentions and integrity. His letter in your last week's paper amazed me greatly. I had to read it several - times „to convince myself -that this quite rem rkable script actually presents some of" his views. I apologize to Mrs. Shirley Keller. Our personal friendship has been used to drag her name into this most regrettable episode and this is why I. am , responding' to Mr. Peters' composition. My surprise was even greater because I am„not aware of having given Mr. Peters any reason for such an extravagant outburst. ' Mr. Peters mentions the Federal Harbour dredging. I do not remember anyone blaming_. Mr. Peters mite than any other Council member. -I. know that several people wondered whether we hid done ab- solutely everything we could. But certainly • it was the ,Council's collective respon- sibility (including myself) to approach the Federal Government in the most ef- fective manner at the begin- ning.' Newspapers carry articles and editorials .op all kinds of local and universal situations. It would be.awful if they paid us no attention between elections. Not so long ago there was' a . detailed front `page story, with an extensrrve and thoroughly critical editorial, on Councillor Hayilon's folly of spending $150. that "Mrs. Haydon and Mrs. of Culture and Recreation that Keller have been openly took to the road on July 30 with, ' critical of Couneil"in general..." its five staff members.
