A REMARKABLE MUNICIPAL VISION.

[TO THE EDITOR A Sir,—lt was with a sense of great interest that I read the letter which appeared over the name of “Givis” m the columns of your valuable journal-. “CiVis” evidently thinks* that Cr. Collins is now a‘spent force. True, his present humble position munici-. pally is in very striking contrast to his elation over his handsome victory at the by-election. What can it all mean ? With this thought firmly impressed upon my mind, I went off to bed last night. Now, perhaps it might not under these circumstances be a strange thing, but I dreamed a dream about the municipal situation. It was next April. Mr. Pettie was no longer Mayor. Ho had just commenced a ilong trip abroad. I cogitated further, and I found that the majority of the present councillors could no longer place the magic prefix “Cr.” before their names. There had, too, been a sudden andl remarkable change in the personnel of the corporation staff. As they passed along in review order, many I had never seen before. But how does this concern Cr. Collins P Did I find that he had become (Mayor? Oil, no. Mi. W. D. Lysnar had 1 returned, and m the ne'-t‘*ibleau he was to he seen a err i>■ "d in even greater civic fc ", .. i he knew before.
