THE COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Some of GU

not being gazetted exactly right in the
reports.of the Council proceedings as pub.
lished in the city papers. We would re-
mind these gentlemen that they have the
remedy for that sort of thing in their own
hands. The official proceedings of their
bodies ought to be published in the paper
having the contract for their publication.
We have that contract, and stand ready to
publish their proceedings whenever handed
in. Of course newspaper reporters are not
always prepared to report proceedings of
any kind according to the views of all par
ties, and sometimes put their own construc.
ton on passages. The clerk of the Coun-
Gil, however, is very apt to make correct
report, as his report has to be entered on
the book, and forms the official minutes
of the body.
