DEAR SIR-Your favor of the fifteenth
instant has just been received. You have
evidently misunderstood the meaning of
my suggestion Of the fourteenth instant. l
ueanB simply that the present City Council
! has no right, when about to leave office, to
| appear to practice economy at the expense
| OF their successors. They should have
economical before. Their present duty
should be, think, to make estimates based
on their past expenditures, leaving to the
new Council the opportunity Of reducing
them de facto to what they ought to be, in
order that the new Administrators may get
! all the credit of said reduction.
! 1 will gladly examine the amended char
! ter you have been kind enough to send me,
! and should the present counting of the late
| election votes result in my favor, | will be
| happy TO furnish you with my views rela
| tive to the amendation of the budget Of
the Improvements Department which you
sent me on the thirteenth instant
remain yours, very truly,
G. T. BEAUREGARD.
