Goderich Wants More Houses. Judging from the uumber of enqui- ries that are befog made for houses to rent, it would t,e a good investment for someone to build a number of medium sized dwelling houses in town. The [lumber of households in (lode - rich must be increasing, as a great many new houses have been erected the last few years, and they all seem to he occupied, and at present there are people asking in vain.for dwelling accommodation here. Even the rooms over the stores seem to be al- most wholly occhpied. Those who favor the single tax on land values could get in a good argument bare. It vacant Tots were taxed up, and no taxes were placed on improvements. it would not be long before many of the now vacant spikes would be filled in with residences. Walter E. Kelly Manager. Owing to continued trouble with'bie eyesight, Andrew Porter. who has been manager of the Goderich Rural Telephone Co. ever since it was organ- ized, bits retired from the position, and his successor is Walter E. Kelly. Mr. Kelly has his office on -8t. An- drew's street, just orf Hamilton street, and is already attending to the digin of the Company. Mr. Porter was ad- vised by his physician some months ago to give up work until bis eyes were again in good condition, but he did not wish to retire until the Rural Telephone Company, in the organize, Goo of which he took so active a part, was in good running order. The Com- pany is now firmly established, with a constantly increasing number of sub- scribers, and under the menage.nent of Mr. Kelly will no doubt yontinue to prosper.
