BARRINGTON. An Unusual Tribute:

Quito a remarkable tribute was paid to Cr. Arch. Morey at the Kentish Council meeting on Saturday, following his intimation that he intended to retire, owing to not being able to give the time to the work he would like to do, and to the fact that most of his section of the ward did not come under his frequent oversight. The Warden at once expressed the hope that Cr. ' Morey would not resign. He regarded him as a most valuable colleague, and he felt sure the ratepayers were of a like opinion. It meant some sacrifice to be in the council, as they all knew, but it was a public duty. Nearly every councillor at the table spoke in like strain, testifying that the independence of thought of Cr. Morey, his fearlessness of expression and his usefulness as a member. Cr. Doyle confessed that he was often "chipped at" by Cr. Morey, but he regarded him as "absolutely one of the finest councillors who had over sat at the table." This seemed to be a general view. Cr. Williams reminded Cr. Morey that he had a duty to the ratepayers, who had reposed confidence in him. Cr. Morey was somewhat taken aback by the general eulogy, and said he recognised the truth of Cr. Williams' remark that he owed a duty to the ratepayers, but he felt that as he could not devote the time to the position he decided he ought to retire. It was then suggested that as Cr. Morey had but 12 months to go before his three years were up, he should withhold his resignation for that time. Cr. Morey gave a noncommittal reply, but said if he thought there was no one else willing to take the position he would continue to act
