For some reason, an erroneous idea
was given in these columns as to the meet
ing Of tie Commissioners of Appeal, to hear
protests against increased assessments on
real estate laid by Council. The impression
was that Council and the Commissioners
were working in harmony, and we have no
knowledge that they are not, but the Com
missioners made no provision to meet on
the 18th inst, to hear protests as Coun-
ellis evidently expected they would. And
it is altogether probable that Councils
action is so fair that it is acceptable to all
affected.
