EU. PoeT.—For eomo time past It
dispnte has been pending between
two parties in which the Municipality
was interested, and to arrange a set.
tlomout it was decided by the Council
to notify each party to attend the
next meeting which was held. last
Friday. Strange to say however in-
stead,of waiting for both parties to bo
present the Council took the matter
up early in the meeting and 10 00 ap-
pearing favorite sort of a way, and as
might have been expected from the
witness of only one side, decided ac-
cordingly. Surely this was not giving
justice to butts parties nor actiug as
becometh men in that position and
deserves censure aud exposure.
Yours truly
