KUTHiN V THE RUTHIN TOWN COUNCIL. 7r To the Editor of the FREE PRESS Dear sir, Upon reading the repvirts of the above Council in a recent issue of your paper I noticed that the name of Alderman J ;)li Roberts appears as being in attendance trid taking part in the discussions of the Council. Some months ago Alderman John Roberts figured very prominently in the attack on t"" Borough Surveyor, and after th-u, inJiv-r!ni retaliated he kept away from the meetings, Now that the Borough Surveyor is lev.ins; his post, Alderman John Roberts t^ain a; -r-s at the Council meeting. Evidently Ald.r.nau John Roberts b, lieves in the old proverb He who figbts and runs away will live 'r nght another dsy." Ic seems very strange that Alderman John Roberta, after accusing an official of dereliction of duty, should absolutely ignore a resolution of the Denbighshire Education Authority with regard to its officials and their connection with public bodies.—I am, sir, yours faithfully, RATEPAYER. December 20th, 19C6. CONCERT AND DANCE.
