LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE.

TO the MINING JOURNAL.
The question of increasing the salaries
of the various town officials has been
discussed for some time previous to
Monday evening. and justly so. Wages
and salaries nearly everywhere have
been increased owing to increased costs
of the necessaries of life.
The point i'll question, however, is
this-why did Council increase the
Bailiff's salary $40 month, or 20 per-
cent, and the Policeman's salary only
s. month, or 10 per cent. Is not the
work of the Policeman as arduous and
dangerous as that of the Bailitf? Does
it not cost the Policeman as much Il
pound for meat, groceries, etc, as the
Bailiff:
We cannot, therefore, understand
Councils logic in this matter.
But in justice to Mr.. Williams we
hope Council will at its next meeting
rectify the discrimination and date the
20 lp, cent. increase from same time as
applies to Mr. Fisher, the Bailitf.
Mr.. Williams has made good record,
and at last election the people endorsed
it by an overwhelming vote.
The consensus of the Taxpayers
opinion is-if the Bailff's services are
worth ~ per- cent. increase, then also is
the Policeman's. TAXPAYER.

Councilman Griffith thinks the ostra-
cism of the hOg-pen "curtails the rights
and liberties of the people"
The JOURNAL challenges him to show
a single law which, enforced, does not
in more or less degree "curtail the right
and liberties of the people"
The entire Code is a string of enact
ments prohibiting Mr.. Griffith from do
ing as he might please under the sane
ton of "rights and liberties especial
ly to the hurt of his neighbours health
or property.
In this way it came to pass that what
is called "cioSS legislation became
OdiOus.
But of all the types of class legisia-
tom enacted since the age of civiliZa-
ton began the most "Odious' is that
which authorizes "a great many people
to keep hogs in populous towns i'll known
defiance of the laws of health.
Indeed, of all the laws ever enacted to
preserve 1.-THE rights and liberties of
the people" the hog pen ordinance is
one of the dirtiest.
