Letter to Brussels Voters
I am credibly informed that certain
patties in the town are busy spreading
a story around the village. via, : That
I arm planning to have the business
part of Ttu'nlleet'y streeb torn up, pav-
.ed, cemented, &c„ next Summer, and
to have William street unproved in
the same ma &c. &0. WhatI
un ter,
wish to say is that stories as to both
streets are absolute falsehoods.
Street improvement has been talked
of in the Council, and no doubt 000-
side
00side of the Council, but we concluded
some time ago not to undertake any
further expensive street improvement
until the war is over, as by that time
we would have tested the durability
of the aLreets already made, to some
extent at least.
In so far as William street is con-
cerned I have heard it suggested by
parties, outside of the Council on two
or three occasions, that it should be
paved like the Main street,' and in
every ease I have opposedsuch a prop-
osition es being ton expensive and be-
cause it did not require it, but should,
together with 111111 street West, be
improved in the same way as Princess
street, which stood the heavy traffic
of last Sammy well,
Wily did the storytellers not bring
up these matters at the Nomination ?
I invited them to more than once.
Why ? Because my answers would
have frnstraLed their plans of spread-
ing deliberate falsehoods,
