duty. Mr.. Finan then proposed: "That
we, the members Of the Sligo corpora
ton, observe with regret that Mr. VIM.
McKillop, the parliamentary represen-
tative Of this division. is not attending
as regularly at Westminster as the in
terests of the county require. In view
Of the critical divisions taking place
in the House of Commons, we call
upon Mr.. AIcKillop to discharge his
duties more zealously, or resign his
position as our parliamentary represen-
tative." Mr.. NJ. Waters said: II have
great pleasure in seconding the reso-
luton. The government came very
close to defeat few nights ago. Mr..
McKillop was one Of the Irish men,
bers whose unexplained absence saved
the government from being over
thrown. Had these men been present
the government would have had to re-
sign, and we would have chance of
a more favorable government" The
resolution was declared passed, only
the chairman dissenting.

Of which time was spent OH

application Of Mr.. Henry Webster,
county surveyor, and his three assist
ants-Messrs. Murphy, O'Leary and
Jones-for an increase Of salary on the
ground, as alleged, of the great in
crease Of work which had been thrown
on them by the passing Of the local
government act Of 1898. AS the local
government act was interpreted by the
judges Of the court Of appeal, it ap>

council to fix the remuneration of it's
officers, for~any additional work i'm
posed on them by the act, subject to
the local government boards approval.
