MR. EDITOR—Using the columns of
your paper ars a medium through
which, I wish it to be made known,
that any returned soldier seeing Rt to
apply to the Municipal Board of the
Township of Morris; for: the -office of
Assessor, to do so, as I will not op-
pose him,
I rain of the conviction that any
guardian of the Empire who has given
of his services and made the sacfice,
through the impairment of health or
loss of limb, thus rendering him unlit
for many occupations, is entitled to
first consideration bythose in au-
thority, in the selection of their offici-
ary, Apply ! Da not be deluded by
thinking yourself incompetent to do
the work. I have done it, so can you.
If you apply and receive the appoint-
ment, I assure you my 5 year's ex-
perience on the job and my. knowledge •
of the work are freely at your ser vice.
Yours truly,
THOS. MILLER.
