The by-law pro - ' vide for e sewer and trunk drain on Tose hine street and a disposal 'lent at Veer south end of the town. Wingham will never have a god roadway on Jose- phine itreat until there is proper drain- age, The by-law provides for the cost to be borne by the ratepayers in general. This is the plan adopted in other places -.London and Goderioh ratepayers are voting on similar by-laws and the oost is assessed against all property. We must first have a main sewer and disposal • works and the main sewer will be in connection with sewers that may be put in hereafter. The storm drain will be of benefit to many people besides those residieg on Josephine street, as a goodly • '' portion. of the surface and cellar water on the east side of the town would be carried, away by this drain. To get over the pont of the front street property not paying ita full share of this work, the If was of the opinion that a yearly ohargo should be made for tapping the sewer; to run for twenty years. In this way the front street property would be payine for convenience. The editor, as an owner of front street property is willing to pay for his full share of the oast for using the sewer. Many of our eatepayere feel that a sewer is as import. ant, if not more important, than pure water. Ratepayers should oonsider these two questions seriously and vote in the best interests of the town and its Plage": MORRIS. 0 Mr. W. P. lebister, son of Mr. Wm.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To the Editor of the Tires: - Dear Sir, -Kindly allow tne space to give yonr readers the letter, which I promised to have read at the nomination meeting. The idea is being circulated about town that during the improve- ments to the eleotrio lighting plant in. 1908 I was tbe means of epending more money than was neoessarv, and that the work could have been more econotnioal- ly done by having the flame running Tinder the power house instead of on the outside. Here is what Messrs. 0 Bar- ber Se Son, Meeford, said in their letter of July 10, 1908: -"The first and most important departure is that the turbines are shown in an open bulkhead outside the power house. Thia removes all dampness from the interior of the build- ing and outs off all leaks; makes it pos- sible to secure a proper pit under the wheels and a free discharge without any archways or obstructions; gives a direct and better supply of water to the turbines and leaves 'them always in sight and perfeotly accessible; does away with the decks and stuffing boxes; gives better belt lengths and a olear floor for the electrical machines and in- strutnenta. These and many other advantages will oome from this arrange- ment." Yours truly War. HOLMES. To the Editor of the Times Dear Sir. -As stated in two former issues, I am in the field as candidate for the Mayoralty. So far as the present Council is, concerned I was to have an ac,,lamation and 009 times out of 1000 the Mayor is selected from the sitting Council and not one in 1000 ex -Mayors ever ask for a return, in fact it is contrary to all busi- ness principles, A young man enters into any business corporation, if he is made of the right stuff, is ambitious to advance and he is advanc- ed as he merits same. Good men entered the Connell one yer later than I, all of whom are capable of filling the Mayor's chair with mark- ed ability. If I am elected I shall retire at the end of one or at most two years and let the honor pass around. If I am defeated, there will be do incentive or stimulus for men to enter the Council for they will take it as the policy of the town that the honor is to be monopolized by a few. As to the electric monument I have only this to say, that the success of the plant this year belongs to Mayor Gregory, t:ounclilor Elliott and myself. We were " bitterly" opposed in committee when we dismissed what we con- sidered incompetent managers and engaged Mr. Campbell, who is one of the best men that could be found Ot course the whole nom- mittee were in favor of his appointmedt, but if there had. been no dismissal there could be no appointment. It will be the speoial work of the two Commissioners to make a study of ' Light and Water" and the Mayor, who has numerous duties. will only have to give a decision when the Commissioners disagree. Notwithstanding the fact that an independent expert and other practical men state that thousands were needlessly- and. wrongly- spent on the re -construction of the plant and the changing of the street lighting, yet the present manager has made the plant a grand SUCCOFEI, and 15 will be a bad thing for Wingham when a Mayor or Commissioner presumes to know more about electricity than the manager. The powers of the Mayor are overrated. He might sit In the chair for two years without casting a vote. He can spend, no money with- out same passing the Council If elected Mayor of this beautiful town. I shall always be ready at home or abroad to take part in anything that will bring our Municipality to the attention of as many people as possible. My motto is "Business Principles in Muni- cipal Affairs." Faithfully yours, GEO. SPOTTON. An anonymous donor has given the inmates of the Home for the Friendless at Chatham a Christmas box of $5 each, with the stipulation that they ba allow- ed to spend it as foolishly as they wish, They Help Your Stomach Out And Save You a World of Wretchedness A stomach that cannot digest a good meal „is certainly a sote trial, lt has been responsible for almost everything in the way of human misery, up to suicide. The trouble in most elites is that the stoinacli and other digestive organs lack vigor. Not enough of the 3uices necessary to digestion ate secreted nor does the stomach work tap the' food properly. The worst of it is that there is not sufficient nourishinent taken out of the food to restore the system's viper, and the trouble goes froiu bad to wotse. The stomach needs help.

For the Mayor's ohair we have honest 13111, Of town work he's not had his fill, Is as seed that he longs To drop hammer and tongs And to take one more turn at the will. Let us not forget genie], George Who opposes the man at the forge He thinks Loos! Option Unit for adoption But will make all the blind pigs disgorge. COUNCILLORS Saye Elliott, the man of the Times, When he sees how expenditure olimbe, I'll do my dead best, Along with the rest, To take care of the dollars and dimes. There is also our friend Albert Lloyd, Who want all the bar -rooms destroyed, ' In hie mind its quite olear, That the sellers of beer Might all be much better employed. There is next on the list, William Bone, Who had always a way of his own, When he thinks he is right, He puts up a good fight, Awl will Wok to his point all alone. There's a rising young ixterohant called Wet, Who has given town matters some thought, He's again in the field, And he never will yield, Till the last gun is loaded and shot, Do' (nor Redmond would cure the town's ills, We would need no more powders and pills, If we had a trunk sewer, And water that's power, Then the cash would pour into oar tills. Then there's Gregory, daddy of all, Who's responding again to the can, All the votes on the hill. Will go straight for Jahn still. When the referee hollers 'play ball.' There is this may be said of Dave Mack, He wall make a fair frontal attack; When he sought the reeve's chair, He just failed to get there, But the Council would weloome him baok. We have Nioholson, too, on the list, Whom, this year, in the council we missed, He's a rattling good man, On the up and down pion; When he thinks a thing wrong, he'll resist • Lastly Simon, the man from the North Has again on the warpath gone forth He demands a fair show, If this town is to. grow, And cement sell for what it is worth. -From an Occasional Contributor The following is the report of White- church Pablio School for the month of December.
