Show MR KNOW ILL WM MORE E EDITOR UTO UTOPIAN nIAN I 1 do not think you covered the points raised by me meat at all you have mearly avoided them thein by dodging around so 0 o I 1 claim further space apace to explain not particularly to show up an editor in his true light to the people but to show tile tho true merits in the case and leave it to the th people to judge whether you have ba ve cov ered the or not in your first onslaught at the city council you made statements statement you knew are not lot true and whether you knew it or not lot at the time you know it now I 1 replied to your statements telling you I 1 fiey were out of place ing ng r reliable eli able you meet this by saying it isan ia an editorial and having failed to consult mr grimshaw where we shoals put editorials used our own judgment and therefore do not consider it out ut of place at all not nearly to so much so as his big visit to puffer lake or sitting in the council chimber chamber not sound reasoning for art ari editor now let us review a few points it was wak stated that the mayor layor did not favor tho the action odthe of the cit city y council iv what hat action The in relation to appointing a committee to go to lake to inspect improvements prove ments made by sir C C woodhouse with a view you oay nay of purchasing for the citizens in my former sta statement temen I 1 showed that tho the mayor appointed that committee if he was thou roughly opposed to it lie he had the power to veto it the council mearly favored a committee being appoint ad od he be a appointed the council as that committee co therefore there fora he approved odthe of the action you deny the charge offia of having ving said that the council went with a view of purchasing you said they appointed d a committee to inspect ct improvements prove menti ments with a view aview of purchasing which is ie the same thing the council Counci and land committee being the same body men you said the fornier former committee went to inspect the same points that we went to inspect and that the facts were in our pos possession before we were appointed indicating that we went for a pleasure trip it is proven to you that we went to see tho improvements prove ments which were not there when the former committee went therefore they could not report on what they did not see the statement ment made made by the lake puffer irrigating t riga ri ting co bears mo me out on this they also me out in in denying your statement that notwithstanding every effort it is proven that the waters of the luke lake cannot be b held back I 1 said no efforts had been made to hold back the tha water now mr editor when ou are in in error and the facts are made so BO plain to you why do you persist in saying they are riot not out of place in appearing in the editorial column and further stating that the facts in the must be covered up before the election or there might be a change in the council you will consult mr air G Grime haw before you get him to serve a third term after the council spending ending ep three day at hard bard labor forthe for the people and city you mr editor have the audacity to call it a pleasure 0 0 o lake buffor and ir in s sinuate i m at e that b a 1 if they will do it at their t 1 le i r own 0 wn X pence well and good ri now mr editor 2 ilia lie present council ci I 1 a acif not 0 serving ving the people for the emoluments enilo of the office and if the pen people p lo 10 were all like you the t h e council would certainly got at neither honour nor money olley rn the therefore th they ey would get nothing for their services not net even the eriv eledge eleda of being fairly represented to the kor nov 1 1 dont wish to be personal but blit it occurs to my idy mind that you are also aleo a public servant you servo serva tle tile people for the money alere is iu in it aud ami I 1 know you expect hon ours too you pet get five dollars a day j when in the th e school room leaching and you toll make a good thing editing a news paper which all 11 comes from t tha b 6 ial 10 n ige of the people now if I 1 was to you in your official of ficia capi sity and say bay that you extortionate nod aud th h t your ob eject j oct was to impoverish iho be people for your own pleasure sure nod aud suggest that if YOU ou would do this babir at your own a I 1 well aud and good I 1 wink think jou ou would expect aspect me to rou rei tract but you think witt teat resenting the city council in the columna of your paper is not neaily neady so much out oui of place as mr grim shaws sitting 0 in the council chamber I 1 wish to tell you mr ir editor if 5 ou boyer knew that mr uri grin a shaw tits bits in the council chamber because lie he wis WAS elidea elided by tho the people not of his hia own
