TWO BY-LAW CARRIED.
$1 A YEAR TN ADVANCE
Suits
There was not in oh excitement in
Wingham on Mon y in connection
with the voting on Mee byeleves. The
by-law providing I a the raising of
$4,000 to pay the Toon Hall debentures
was carried by a 'ote of 188 to 22.
There was never 'an ' doubt as to this
by-law receiving fay able consideration
from the ratepayers. e
The by-law plaoin s the management
of the electric lig iting system and
waterworks under t le management of
Commissioners reoei 'ed ranch more fav-
orable consideration from the ratepayers
than was expected by many people.
This by-law was o irried by a vote of
102 to 95, The Tibias has always been
in favor of management by Commission-
ers and it will now est with the retie -
payers to see that two good men are
eleoted as Commiesi nets next January.
The most impor rit by-law of the
three, that providin for the raising of
$6,000 for putting system of water-
works for domeetio urposes was defeat-
edj by a vote of 120 to 85. All kinds of
arguments were u ed against this by-
law, but had as rich effort been put
forth by those in boor as was done by
those opposed, the by-law could have
been carried by a substantial major-
ity. The majority rules, however, and
the parties in favoreof the by-law must
take defeat in a friendly way. It is
now up to the Corianil to make extensive
repairs at the whorl house which will
cost considerable m Ines,; had the by-law
carried this money -could have been pro-
vided, but now the money will have to
be raised in taxes. We hope yet to see
Wingham have sewn and a good ono
tern of waterworks for domestic pur-
poses.

The wise man to day says, "Get

your order in your own town, -
where you know what you are
getting, and that it is genuine
tailor made." That would be
wisdom ; that would be under-
