Neither in the Legislature nor on the Municipal Board are they of any practical use, because they are powerless either to carry or to vein any mexture in opposition to the official members, however beneficial or inju.] rious such meatures may respectively be to the community at large. In fact, they are merely the Government's gratuitous advisers, whose opinion is only taken into consideration whan it chances to meet the views of the officials.
