The increase of the surVeyor's salary at Soutar
mouth is giving rise to a considerable amount of
rli.cuseion. On the one side there ars those who
believe that a professional man, competent to dir
charge the dutiev of strh an °Moe, is worth £3OO a
year. On the other hand there ill that numerous body
to be found advocating retrenchment and reform upoe
every public question where their own pockets are
not affected, who grumble immensely at the 1250 a
year rise. That sturdy politician, Mr. Joseph Cutler,
proposed the addition and he now defends the course
he took in his usual addition,
outspoken style.
Ho Sari :—" What I am doing I am doing for no
interest of my own, but for the saving of the rates
and for the welfare of tbe town. To this end, 0°
man, I humbly submit, is devoting more time or
taking greater interest than I; and at the next
I election shall be prepared to fight the battle and be
able to ie • sat amount of my steward.

Mr. Cutler has gone to the trouble of obtaining
statistics from various towns in England. Pram
them I gather the length of public roads at Bourne-
mouth is 3.1 miles, and the population is 17,000.

surveyor £5OO a year. It mar be remembered that
the late surveyor of Poole, who wee about to have his
stipend increased by CA a you-, fo”nd that it would
pay him better to throw up the Milos and its pros-
pective advantages to go elsewhere. It is a moral
certainty that to obtain a man thoroughly competent
to fulfil the duties of a borough surveyor, von must
offer rather more than the wages of • day-labourer.
A gentleman in Bournemouth advertises in my
contemporary, the Onscrrcr—which, by the war, it
showing signs of rapid improvement in all respect.,
save the paper it is printed on— for • cook. The
mistresses of the ladl. who may apply are requested to
state to what church they belong. It requires • second
thought to fully comprehend the innate reasoning
there is in this condition. At first sight it would seem
the advertiser was a drivelling bigot fit only to be
classed with those Russian imbeciles who believe that
on a feast-day the gravy which attends any dish • Jew
may have upon his table is the blood of • Christian
child. Not so. A little reflection will show that after
all there is • faint show of session in it. Regarding
the subject from an Ecclesiastical Point of view, we
may take it the with a cook of the low-church per-
ensmion things would be under-done; with one of •
ritualistic turn they would be nyer.done. The hePPY
mean is obviously a cook who affects the broad.church.
This, there is no doubt, is the kind of lady-help the
advertiser requires. But why didn't he say SD et
once?
