acter to the request contained IN the above letter
The Mayor respectfully declined either 10 hear their
statements orally or 10 meet them. and, Tor reasons
partly personal and partly political, well as be-
cause hrs time was SO occupied that n he gave audi
cnce 10 one he would have had to extend 10 TO all
and thereby other business be postponed. He,
therefore last autumn requested the committees to
submit 10 him IN writing such views or requests as
they might have touching the exercise or his author.
