A RECENT APPOINTMENT.
(To the Editor of the Times.)
Sir, —“To him that hath shall be given !” Our Councillors evidently work on this principle. Their action with regard to the appointment of a clerk to the Charitable Aid Board exemplifies it. If the Borough Clerk is able to perforin so many duties arid then have time to spare, 1 am surprised the Councillors should consider it necessary to pay him extra for filling up his time; or, if he was over-burdened, why ask him to undertake more, when so many as competent as he and not in such a good position were, anxious to obtain the appointment'? I understand the assistant is already in evidence, which looks remarkably like the argument last night being all bluff. I don’t allude to all the Councillors in the bluff business. There are some, I am happy to say, would have gone one better had they surmised such a thing.—l am, etc., Straight.
