To the Editor of t • Wingham TIMES: Dear Sir, -As I feel satisfied that half of the ratepay rs of the Township of Turnberry do of know how the Council is conducti ig our bridge busi- ness, I think it is but fair that they should be enlighte ed on this important matter. With y.ur permission, Mr. Editor, I will give = few facts. At the nomination meetin held in Bluevale on the 22nd of Decem.er last, the aspir- ants for municipal ffice wished to know how the ratepayer wished to pay for the bridges that ere to be erected. The unanimous fee ing of that meeting, expressed by a sho ' of hands, was that a bylaw be submit •d to the ratepayers in order to autho ize the Council to issue debentures o provide for the payment. The • -neral feeling was that this course would be followed. But in the face of 11 this, I notice that at the meeting of he Council on the 5th of February, th Council proceeded in their own little p •ivate business way, without calling for enders, let the con- tract for the steel work of two bridges at $2,500 each. One bridge to be paid for on the 15th of December, 1912 and the other on the "lith of December, 1913. The members of the Council knew or should know, that the contract to pay for the second bridge is illegal, as the law distinctly states that no Council can contract a debt not payable within the year the Council is in office except by issuing debentures. At the Council meeting on the 4th of March, although the minutes to the public are as silent as the grave on the question, the matter of bridges was again brought up and while two members were sane enough to want to transact the bridge business in a legal and proper way. the other three members wished to con- tinue as though it were there own private business, forgetting that they are the servants of the people and that the ratepayers ha e a just right to say in what manner th y Wish to pay for the bridges. It i the duty of the Council to give th ratepayers an op- portunity ex to rens themselves on this P question. Three bridges should have been built this summer as all three are veritable death traps and the Township might be liable ny day for heavy damages. I think t would be in order for some of the wis heads to rise and explain how the C uncia of 1913 wilt collect an illegal ta from the ratepay- ers and what is the imit of the loose debt this year's Co ncil can contract and leave to their uccessors. These are a few facts in re and to the bridge question in Turnberr •, but not all that can be said on the atter.

Ofdoe over Malcolm's Groc*ry Limburger heese. When first I noti ed on the breeze the perfume of lir burger cheese, in my hot haste I stei ly cried: "Some animal has surely died!" Too often thus we judge t . ngs by externals greeting nose Or e e, and often does the vain galoot skip luscious dates for Dead Sea fruit. T Limburg cheese, for many years held to scorn with ri- bald jeers, and whe a chunk of it was passed I put my no e in plaster cast. But all that glitter- is not gold, and handsome feet are s.me times cold, and blushing roses have their thorns, and lovely girls compla n of corns. And. likewise, on the oth•r hand, the cheese that smells to beat he band belies its loud, aggressive s ent and comforts you to such exte t that you (or any other man) become at once a Limburg fan. It is a nip ing, eager cheese: that warms you up from neck to knees and cheers your st mach tills it feels like kicking up it joyous heels. Its fragrance once I • d detest, but now from Araby the bl st there comes no incense -laden air t at with Limburger can compare -And thus we see, my friends, and foes, we cannot trust our eyes and nose, which deal in nor -backs day by day, and lead our twinklingfeet astray. ---Walt Meson.
