FRIDAY, f
UGx61 1895,i
A =srmi proposition concerning
new town bell, and one likely to be ao•
eepted, has been made as follows :—Tile
purchase of a new and larger boll for fire
alarm purp000sappears to be a necessity
to retain our present reek for ineurauoo
rates. Little would be obtained for the
present bell (whigh was a gift to the town
by ex -Reeve Rogers) although it is in es
good condition as ever. The proposal is
to hand the bell now in the tower to the
School Board for the new school building
as the old bell was rendered useless by
the are, This would obviate the expense
there and leave the Council free to eeoure
a fire alarm in Reaping with the demands
of the Underwriters' Association. The
question will be: submitted to the School
Board at their next meeting.
Bamnn+s and keeping up sidewalks is
a heavy drain on the local account of any
village or town, more so as the prices of
lumber and cedar advance and even then
a great' deal of the inaterial laid down is
inferior to the stock furnished years ago,
altbough Brussels has no ground for
complaint, as a rule we have been fairly
dealt with. In many municipalities the
extent of sidewalk building was gone into
too extensively, particularly in the width
of the walk, and as a result, a couple of
hundred dollars slips away in Brussels
every year in repairs alone. In many
places gravel is being substituted for
plank and in the business portion of the
town granolithic pavement. This matter
is now up before the Wingham Connell,
and we append the following iateresting
report presented last week :—
B. Wilson addressed the Council, on in-
vitation, ou the question of granolithic
sidewalks. Be said that during the pasb
few years he had spent some time in a
number of the towns in Ontario, and he
believed Wingham was behind none of
them in any respect, except in her side-
walks. Many of the sidewalks in other
towns were granolithic walks and they
give the towns a beautiful appearance and
were at the same time permanent. In
the town of Simcoe, all the sidewalks are
granolithio—on the front, in fact, all the
streets of the town. In 1889 the town
passed a by-law adopting the local im-
provement system in reference to build-
ing sidewalks, and since then all the
sidewalks put down are granolithic.
This system makes every property hold-
er pay for the walk in front of bisproper-
ty, and the town puts down all crossings
and where a person has a corner lot and
the walk is put on both sides, the town
pays for half of one side. The payments
for the walks may be made in cash or
they may be extended over a term of
years, at the option of the property own-
er. Before a walk is pub down, a peti-
tion containing two-thirds of the property
owners on the street on whish the walk
is to be built, must be presented to the
Conncil,,who, with the engineer, amnia
tion the cost to each ratepayer. The
sidewalks, Mr. Wilson said, will last as,
long as stone, and are as hardend smooth
as stone. Some of the walks in Simcoe
bave been down eight years and they
seem as good as the day they were put
down. Re had also written Chatham
and Guelph, and in the latter city the
walks are being put down for twelve
cents per square foot, but they are giving
ont large contracts at that figure. He
was assured by the Guelph Paving Com-
panythat the walks could be put down
in Wingham for fourteen gents per
square foot, even for small contracts. At
these figures he believed the walks would
cost no more, and perhaps not as much
as the wooden ones, and they would
greatly enhance the value of the property
as well as beautify it and give the town a
splehdid appearance. In Simcoe, most of
the residents have removed the fences
from the fronts of their properties, and
the sidewalks on the residential streets are,
placed outside of a row of tress' along in
ant of the residences, and that part of
the street between the sidewalk and the
fronb of the property is nicely boulevard -
ea, which gives the street a very fine ap-
pearance. In closing, Mr. Wilson said he
hoped the Council would take some act-
ion in the matter. A committee might
be appointed to look still further into the
question and report. He believes the
people would benefit largely by, the adopt.
ion of thie scheme of building their side-
walks.
