The statements ou pages 12 and 13 are incorrectly stnted; though partially true, they are misleading.' On page 20 the engineer says:—" It has been sug gested that the resiiluals should be sold at the town ofiice. The committee are already aware of the muddle which arose from this cause during the few weeks it was tried. Further comment is superfluous." I hardly like to characterise this statement. It contains not oue word of fact *, but the exactly oppo site of the engineer's statement is the actual state of affairs. From the time the corporation acquired the works residuals^ bave been sold and credits opened at the town office—the engineer having, of course, power to tell also to parties having ledger accounts or for cash. No muddle has ever arisen or complaint ever been made as to my conduct of this part of your businiss. The engineer has, however, often asserted his determination to have supreme control of this and of every other part of the business, In which I have refused to assist him. In November 1855 the engineer commenced to disregard ordtrs issued to custimers at this ollice, and openly stated he should do as he liked with them. lin consequence appealed to the Gas Conir mittee, who decided that the gas engineer wa? the proper party to sell to the public. From the period an unpleasantness and irrii ation on the part of the public has a isen, and muddles and mistakes are constantly occurring, which never happened under what I cannot but help thinking was the mo.c proper and businesslike way of treatanent with the consumers. An investigation Into tliis matter will prove who is right, and I would gladly look forward to it, In this and otlier matters connected with this depart ment.—l have &c , Wm.
