i protest against the extravagant expenditure. but approve of moderation. john B. LEWIS.
I object to extravagance, but I am in favor of moderate refreshments to the Committees who do the parochial work, and I note that the main
expenses incurred by the Assessment Committee during the past year are in connection with the making out of the Quinquennial Valuation List
of the Parish, which is exceptional as occurring only once in five years. ED WARD LENARD.
