GALWAY,
The people OF Galway are rousing ;lp
i'll g vigorous struggle against the aboli-
ton Of the towns status as a borough,
which is contemplated under the recent
y proposed Towns Improvement Act"
Gainays present population is no doubt
several thousand ;5e1ow the limit--25, 600
set down in the bill; but, still, there
arc many Important considerations in
the case Which should entitle the City
OF the Tribes TO special treatment. Few
places i'll Ireland possess more inspiring
or more enduring historical assCciat;oA;
than the Western capital; and it would
he a matter for national regret if it
were TO lose Its separate identity and
forfeit control over its internal affairs.
The question is one that concerns nor
only Galway, but the whole province Of
Connaught, which, under The new order
OF things, would he without a single
town holding the dignity Of borough.

A site for the proposed '9S Memorial
has been laid off in .Dundalk Square,
fronting the court house, and boarding
erected around it. EiAserumor has been
