Lessons in Thrift Effective
THE educational campaign we have pursued during the past year,
with the object of showing the necessity for saving money, has
been eminently successful.
We believe the work accomplished has been of service to the com-
munity at large. We know it has been of benefit to us, we therefore
propose to continue the series.

In on lb. right of way.The side-
walks constructed bad n paid for
with funds lent by privets parties. In
answer to 04.010 critics who thought
that the sidewalk should have been
constructed by contract, he said the
public works committee had intended
to let the contract, but In view of so
muck unemployment they had acme to
the 000eluafonit might be constructed
more cbeeply by daylabor, and as a
matter of fact ad been saved by
having it done in this way instead of
by coda-att. rhe Mayor hoped that
men would be elected to the incoming
eoeneil who would "keep the lid mm,
as rigid economywould be neorwiary.
The question of water supply would
bave to be taken up and it would in-
volve a great expenditure. To extend
the intake pipe out past the break-
wat er would cost S:f6,000. As an
alternative the suggestion had been
revived of securing the supply frons
springs in Ocelerich township. If the
water were taken from the lake it
would have to be chlorinated. and the
sewage would have W be treated.
tits Worship referred to a rumor
that had been circulated to the effect
that he was intending to step down at
the last minute in favor of ex -Reeve
Moonings. He imp cally denied
that there was any understanding of
that nature between himself and Mr.
Runnings and said the people of Gode-
rich had treated bim too well fur him to
treat them in this fashion. Referring
to the Ontario West Shore Railway.

matter ; it was like a stone around tit"
neck of the municipalities which had
guaranteed the bonds. 11 the Hydro-
electric t:omwiaaion would agree to
complete and operate the road, he
would be in favor of handing it over
to that body -"lock, stock and barrel..
Recently a deputation bad gone to

Reeve Robert Elliott then took the
platform. He recalled his experience
of last year, when, after having won
"a good [sir election be wits not let

to discredit the electors in either the
town or county council. Whenever

the impression that they had all better

favor if you will allow me to make en
explanation through your valuable

made at the nomin■tion meet•mg on

I made the remark tett I thought it
might be advisable t . have an inde-
pendent assessor" make a valuation of
the town props ty, mut apparently
this was miscoest. ped by some of
my bearers. By 'independent mem-
nor" I meant a professional seeeeeor-
tbat is, atria or individual wbo makes
a specialty of town or city assess -
manta. This was In oowive intended
tie a refieetioo on the .10111 of our
toes! eamemor and collector, Mr. Camp-
bell, but was simply a suggestion of a
an which ham hieo followed qui, and
pro•lid ataeoa.utul fetid ier towns.
i am of the opinion that the position
of assessor and collector (eornbined)
for • town the miss of Ooderiob is no
sinecure. and that Mr. Jawpbell has
tees. suecneetul in pe• forgoing the
duties of this arduous ofloe shows
