 will piHivc iisLful to many lliioiiuliout ihe cdiintiy ; and I vtMiiic \i< ask your assistance in (inlcr to jrain all llic 
 I'acts nccessaiy lo coinplciL' it. 
 
 TIk' "(iiiide" is intun.lt'.l to meet a want ol'lon I'dt liy many who have tho iidministration of the miinicij.i.l 
 atiairs i-t' Uppoi- ( 'atiada ; and will (jonlain i.ifornnition n.-ilnl in tho way of iidV'rencc, and caknlated in somo sliidit 
 degree to bring municiiial li'-dies into closer relations wilh each other and to harmonize, their action as far as inav he 
 desiialile. It will give tlie name of the Mayor of each city and town and of the Warden of each county in I nier 
 Canada — with a statement of hisLirth, nationality, ai^e, profession, ])0>t ofiico addrei:8, and such other information 
 respecting him as may he regarded of gcneial interest. It will also contain the names of the memhers composing 
 Uie vai ions city, town and county councils in Ujiper Canada, teg. ilier with those of iho principal olHcers of each 
 municipality, and a statement of the time and place of meeting of each council during the year. 
 
 You will bee tliat such a woik as that I purpose to piihlish will '.,e of some ct)nvenienco to each municipal 
 body in its intercourse or communications wilh others; and if sent out of the Province ;t would give a fair idea of 
 the character, Gxlent and working of our Canadian muiiiiipal system. 
 
 The "Guide" cannot, of coiiife, be published except at conbideiahle outlay ; and before fending it to press 1 
 
 should like to have such encouragement from a sutlicient lumiber of municipalities as to alford a reasonable prospect 
 
 that its publication will not entail pecuniary lots. If the Council over which you preside think"; well of the itroject 
 
 I ehould be glad if thiough your assistance it would guarantee the purchase of 100 or more coi)ics of the woik when 
 
 published. The cost of 100 copies will be •^■25, and of a larger number |)roportionately. Each member miuht 
 
 desire three or four copies for the ute of himself and the members of the 'J'ownship Councils or other friends so 
 
 that 100 would not bo too largo a number to guarantee. Do you think the Council of the ' ■• J_ _l- 
 
 , . ' ^ — r — '
