Water and Light Commission.
At the meeting of the water and light
commission on Thursday night last, the
engineer reported that the hydrants had
been flushed out and cleaned and the
standpipe and the sedimentation basin
both cleaned out. There was very little
dirt in the standpipe this tine. It was
decided to relay the Wolfe-st. water -main
at a lower level. as it is not now deep
enough to escape the frosts.
in order to carry out the new plans of
the commission. the store on the Square
formerly occupied by W. H. Harrison and
owned by Mrs. Geo. Acheson has been
taken, the rental being 1150 a year for
two yeah and then 1200 a year for three
years, the owner to pay taxes and water
rates. The commission may terminate
the lease at the end of any year.
Who Will tie Next?
Last summer the boys of the Victoria
Street Pocket Testament League, under
the leadership of Mr. G. M. Elliott. culti-
vated several lots in St. Andrew's ward
and rained potatoes and beans. From
these they realized a nice seen of money
and lately they have been voting grants ,
for patriotic and benevolent purposes.'
The boys decided to give 110 to the Red
Chiildren' c S ielter Rhe Silt ddratton Te-
roved for that) and 110 for the 1
Red Triangle "land Give" fund. 1t
was agreed that the bond for the last-
naed grant should be made ow t i

name of Jack Osterhout, their secretary.
George Matheson has completed his
payments for this fund also. and has re-
ceived his bond, being the first boy in
Godench to earn one alone. Congratula-
tions. George.

Germany has built giant planes
tapable of carrying ea•noa, accord
log to the Manchester Guardian.
The German newspapers call the
now airplanes "Rfesenflugsuge" or
giant airplanes.
After the reports of tests being
made io Germany, which first. called
attention to the existenee of these
new machines, It became known that
the Germans were using teem on the
Western front for bomb -dropping.
The next thing was that they appear-
ed in photographs of German aero-
dromes taken by British observation
aviators. The Guardian says:
"It appears that most of these ma-
ebises are very big biplanes equipped
with four engines. The engines are
plated between the wings much In
the same way that the engines of the
Gotha biplanes are pladed, but tan-
dem fashion. so (bat one engine on
eaeb side drives a pother air screw
behind the wings, as In the Gotha.
and the other engine on each side los

THINGS ABOUT TOWN.
Among the consequences of last win-
ter's severe (rests was the killing of about
half -a -dozen trees in the Court Clouse
Park. The dead trees have been re
moved, and although on the whole there
are almost too many trees in the park
there are now a few gaps that might well
be filled in. If some Goderich citizen, or
Goderich old boy now Living elsewhere,
wishes to erect a memorial to himself in
the town, he might donate one or more
trees for planting in the park, preferably
of some variety that is not common in
the town. For instance, there is not a
single oak tree in the park; in fact. there
are very few in the town. 11 we remem-
ber rightly, it was the late Judge Toms
who,gave to the town the catalpa trees
that are now flowering beautifully in the
Square. One or two of them were killed
last winter, and there were also several
casualties among the mountain asci trees,
or rowans. as the Scottish folk call them.
This last rather surprised its, as we had
the idea that the rowan tete, like the
