Such a Committee should have the assistance of the heads of certain Government Departments in its deliberations, and its decisiona sbould only come before the Council for formal spproval Failing the creation of a Municipal Council proper, this plan should meet the general wishes of the public and entirely remove the illogical state of affairă at present prevailing.
