Information Wanted
To the Editor BRUSSELS Posse : -.
DEAR SIR,—I certainly was surpris-
ed at the amount called for in my tax
notice recently received but when
reading the reported minutes of a late
Council meeting and noticing an ac-
conntin which our Reeve was inter-
ested, 1 was more than surprised.
Such an interest is contrary to law
and in violation of his oath of office.
I understand, Mr. Editor, that you al-
ways attend the Council meetings and
I consider that some Councillor, the
Clerk, the Treasurer or yourself
should give the Ratepayers generally
the following information :—
By what authority does the Reeve
supply coal to the Corporation ? Is it
ordered by the Board or does he pto-
ceed without such order ? Are there
no other Coal Dealers in town or have
Messrs, Wilton & Gillespie, for in-
stance, retired from business ? Ras
the Council procured coal from any
other person or persons and if so, at
what figure per ton ? What do J. T.
Wood and Alex, Stewart pay for
their coal ? What is the price per ton
of coal supplied by the Reeve ? Does
any other member of the Council sell
coal to the Corporation ? and, finally,
why does the village not buy its coal
direct, ? -
The above are questions of legiti-
mate interest to the ratepayers con-
cerning which they are sorely entitled
to the fullest information. I trust
that you or one of the parties men-
tioned will give it, 2'ours truly,
