It is,, being stated , that my dissatisf action in this respect extends to the workmen. This I deny. I accept Mr. Marchant’s statement that the men themselves are doing good work. My main complaint regarding the sewerage works is,__ that the system directed, in writing; by the consulting engineer, is not being carried qufci which is adding very greatly to t|f amount of labor and consequeijjfcly to the cost of the work - *•’ 7 am, Yours respectful! w. lougla: P.S.—I am informed . nent in the Mayoral Elec|io»s«s o#j sin S a rumor to be circulated that I nave stated that 7s 6d per day is a sufficient wage for a working man to live upon. This is absolutely without foundation whatever. I certainly think it is not sufficient, and that the present rate of wage is little enough.
