Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - October 27, 1875, Winnipeg, Manitoba City and provincial new. Bad roads have great by a slight irregularity in the arrival of the mails. Virtuous Winnipeg Busi Ness this morning notwithstanding the drink hot scotch. The firemen confidently expect that a fire will interrupt proceedings at their Ball on Friday evening. A look at the new Unity Hall now Convoy some sort of an idea it will look when finished within the in Ontario they Aro troubled with the Silver while hero it is Al most impossible to got change for a Bank note. Old dad Crane has Boon astonishing his friends in the oily by sending them samples of Mammoth potatoes grown by Tho old gentleman at Davis Tait s farm. The Relief Quantity of Grain so far received Here for Tho Relief of Tho Grasshopper sufferers consists in sacks wheat 389 sacks Barley and 167 sacks Oats. There Aro also barrels flour and 487 bar role there have As yet been no instructions received regarding Tho manner of distribution. It is rumoured that Tho nor Wetter establishment Lias ordered a Largo font of italic types in order that the Whoso fits editorials May appear in Typo the Supply on hand now being Only sufficient to set about half of its Brief and pointed articles. Owing to this want Many Strong Points have Boon lost to the intelligent Reader. A Good appointment. The Telegraph to Day announces the appointment of major Mcleod As stipendiary magistrate of the North West territories. This gentleman has had an Ope Ronco which eminently qualifies him for Tho position. To Camo to Maui Toba with in which to served As brigade major and during the March of which Force he displayed unusual Energy in overcoming obstacles and was not at All averse to take a hand in Tho difficult Cork incident to Tho Gress of Tho. Troops. The Organiza Tion of the mounted police the major was appointed to Tho same in the Capac Ity of sub inspector and in the marches of the Force through Tho North Wost Lias undoubtedly acquired a Good know ledge of Tho country and of the Peculiar people with whom he will have to Deal in his now capacity of stipendiary Magis trate. Being a thorough lawyer to will not boat a loss regarding the Mode of procedure in reference to any Case which May come before him. We expect to Hoar very favourably of Tho now magistrate. Arc we a in tools to Tho editor of the feb press. Taking it for granted that your re ports of Tho City Council s proceedings arc Correct what a sad commentary they furnish upon our municipal institutions hero Are twelve men supposed to to select men from among ple As such Thoj should be gentlemen should be honest should be Good business men. Are taking your reports of the proceed Ings of the City Council on last monday us the criterion we find first hat the report of a previous meeting As entered in Tho minute Book of the Council was incorrect by the omission of a very grave part of Tho proceed ing. Next we find Groat experienced in having the correction , Tho chair Man having apparently decided against its being Dono. Further on to find from Tho discussion that a committee docs what it pleases with Tho City funds without consulting the other members of the Council. Later to find one Alder Man another a thief of which accusation not asked or Given nor denial offered. a further examination of the report of the proceedings we find that an important duty insolation to Tho collection of City taxes had been omitted by committee from then and , ignorance of Tho terms of Tho City charter. Finally to Cap Tho Climax of Absurdity and injury to Tho taxpayers it is made a report of examining architects that a City . Which the people voted Only would Cost then it is asserted by an Alderman that1 a attached to a contract does no e form part of that therefore the contract Prico Only will be paid to this the Law oers will Havo something to say i fancy and us poor taxpayers will have to pay the Tho Kuh Iulo of prices too. The question arises in my mind on summing up the total of this we the citizens of Winnipeg Are All fools to have the City business thus managed or whether the twelve Aro mistaken in treating us As such Winnipeg oct 2cth.

To the letter of in your Issue of yesterday has startled to so much reports of of cducatibrij5 in their origin Ftp i editor it is too bad that an unscrupulous permit him self abusive language and ungrounded persons Baba use the said blindly prejudiced to read with open of eyes. After an expression of apparent calmness and before betraying his real disposition by violent language attempts a witticism1 whore speaking of Tho lady teaching school at St Norr Bert oestre to says the of this lady for arithmetic is Well or editor allow me to say that Tho faculty of Alpha for astronomy is still More since he can intercalated the month of March in a period which extends from Tho 8th sop Tornbert 1873, to the 31st january 1874. Nevertheless such is Tho Force of your correspondent who seems not oven to have suspected that a full half car of the table of attendance is omitted in copy of m Tass s report As can be readily ascertained by a superficial glance at Tho tooth Page of Tho French copy. Instead of comparing 1556 Days of attendance with 70, it ought to to pm pared with 92, because 70 being the number of children on the Roll for the half year ending on the 31st january 1874, that number had nothing to do with the attendance during Tho follow ing month of March while the number 9.2as Tho one found on the Roll for the half year comprising the said month of March i i i the entire Aig Wient of correspondent is based on the inaccuracy of a printed document in which no loss than seventeen consecutive lines Are omitted which circumstance should not Havo escaped the notice of a gent Lomax who pretends to give of Justice and arithmetic., should anybody to inclined to be Lievow the imaginary school frauds let him look for himself and he will soon and easily discover the real in a matter of such import Ance facts ought to speak for themselves but one cannot help of Tho motives of a correspondent who takes the trouble to Tho Public with false which he might , Hayo ascertained to be such. Ivy the by it May to regretted that Tho proofs copy of the reports of both superintendents have not been More carefully in would chock Tho disposition of certain persons fish in Trou bled Waters and the Blush which should come to his Cheek if to be sincere enough to acknowledge his Blunder. Having disposed of the Case which Alpha evidently thought Tho Strong est it is useless to annoy your readers with the refutation Points. With Alpha i will say or by i Tor. Quantum Syf. It is really Mon Strous that this should to permitted. Comment is unnecessary. If people can be convicted on. Their own one cannot help thinking matters must to still worse Woro All known. Lot Tho now Board try its v yes let them try and if they can succeed to prove that Alpha is right when intercalating a month of March in the interval Between the Oslo septem Ber 1873 and the 31st of january 1874, to will apply to Tho government to Havo him appointed a a reviser of calenders. If this your s essay on arithmetic sound judgment and Fuir depositions towards neighbors Etc be his Alpha in the mutter let us Hope that it will to in Tho meantime his Omega. October 26th, 1875.
