A USEFUL NOTICE BOARD. of Veritas in last weeks Expositor, I can do no other than still express my- self ac I have previously done, :that I am not at all surprised that the writ- er failed to put his signature to his recent contribution.

Fifteen i:''inbers were tre.;cn!. A tenon detii' of heelless was Our truthful friend, as is his usual methal, apparently now wants to make the claim that it was itis arrcle that lett to Wingham giving the pro- onsition that was before them their further investigations. How far docs Veritas intend to go in his efforts to deceive the public ? His article appeared in the Exposi- tor of Jan. 24th, and the Wingliam Commit had decided this dnestion Jan. 22nd. It is really pathetic to hear his pit- eous whine that on behalf of the citi- zens he simply asked the question "e- garding the pros and cons and if there had been dereliction pf. duty or re- missnese (^` ' ..e1rets Foresight, leeeik, Veritas, you know that this was not a question, it was a direct charge against the Council that these things did lie at the door of those entrusted with the best interests of the town. Your article, as I said before, was a direct attack 011 the Council, and in order to strengthen that attack you had to resort to untruths and appar- ently you arenow not manly.enoagh. to admit this, While I know that the duties of the Mayor and Council are many and varied, 1 was not aware of the fact that if our Veritas will persistin abs 'Smiting himself front among us by his excursions into the world of departed spirits, appearing there frequently, of course, always as an uninvited .guest, thereby not being able to keep, in touch with certain business that` is carried on in his, absence, surely he cannot expect the council to keep him informed as to what is continually Steepening during such absence. I must again repeat that the article complained of was absolutely mis- leading and in the interest of the 'town,- had to be refuted, The question is, was the Town Council justified in taking the course they took in connection with the in- dustry that is the subject of this dis- cussion.,`Veritas has the opportunity in answering this question of playing the man; or still living up to his repo- tation of being an artful dodger.
