Wurtay—Sia—Tohe (‘ity Council, in their uabounded wiedgm, have commenced at the western side of Queen's Wharf what report says is the foundation of « Fish Market. This consists of a hollow block, to fill which they have taken the old plank forming the walk that used to keep people's feet out of the mud at least twice a year on each side of said wharf aud brash; the former is vot worth throwing ia, and yet so tenacious are some of the Cougcil about these uld plank thet when ® person bad obtained one of them, possibly hood without leave, one of the City Fathers made him take it back to the wharf, as it might possibly save some brush, which is likely to be @ costly job. Why, I should like to ask, is i: that while the Council have been so long in office they did not look out and procure brush for their public jobs ia the witter season, when they could have what toey required at reven-eighths less cost than now? This is one sample of the even-handed justice which was cried up that we were to bave when tie present Council came iuto office. and here is another,—a fuss 1s made about s rotten piece of plank that is not worth carrying away, while the Council allow the citizens to be publicly robbed almost every day of the only building stone we have which, when there are any public fo Idings to erect requiring stone, we sball have to pay dearly or! it be for the Qouncil to protect that portion of the City pro- perty on the Wabore outside the Garrison premises from pillage, thas t@-show th ir” brief authority” over a bit of useless plauk, because it might hare been stolen ! mes A STICKLER FOR JUSTICE.
