Lecture est donne de In letter clu President clu Municipal Council:
"'Smm;—Lhave the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 22nd instant, in which you accept the arrangement regarding Wheelbarrows as set forth in my letter of the 14th instant, with the exception of the number 6,000, as stated in the first clause, but the Council cannot doubt but that on a reconsideration of the subject you will agree with them on that point also, "There was a strong feeling in the Council at first, that the number should be even larger than stated, as the half of that would give them very few more than they now actually license, but they finally decided upon 6,000 as the lowest they could agree to.
"You mention that the avera; licenses issued by the two Municipalities in March, April, and May was 3,923, and you deduce from, that that 4,000 is sufficient Yor the requirements of both Settlements, but you overlook the fact that of that number this Council issued 2,614, and that, therefore, 2,000, which is all they would be entitled to if 4,000 was decided upon, would actually deprive them of nearly a fourth part of what they now have.
"The Council do not apprehend that limiting the number to 6,000 would be likely to lead to an increase of the vehicles, yet there are only out. "The Council fail to seo-how putting a limit to them would tend to increase the number; in fact, it would appear rather to be a precaution against too great an increase, 'When the very great extent of roads, and immense Chinese population of this Settlement is considered, the number, in the opinion of the Council, is not at all too large for the requirements,' and spread as they are over such a large district, the roads are not overcrowded by them.
ing that a consideration of these points, to which perhaps you have not before sufficiently directed your attention, will lead to concurrence with the views of this Council, and remove the only remaining point of dif: ference between the two Municipalities, (Signed), J. G.
