LITTLE REGARD FOR TRUTH in reply to letter of last week, may we say these sten have little regard for the truth. We attribute many 01 these statements to their ignorance. We have just a few tips for these men: 1--4f they were bale as god at shooting trouble as they are at shoot- ing off their mouth, the service ,would be greatly improved, 2—'$f they were half as much ha- terested in the town's welfare as they suggested in the paper Last week, a certean church in this town would not have be allowed to run so long with- out a meter when workmen were using (abundance of light day and night. We imagine this loss would make the family Theatre's bill look small, eee their aut0tneb lentlatt aleout half dr the speed, they do, rand in doing so Would make the street a little safer for child- ren. 4-11 consumers are allowed two weeks from issue of bills to make pay- ment as they stated. Why did the Family Theatre not get this two weeksi Also if Family Theatre meter was read on ttth as stated—Theatre must have been broken into, as it is not open on Sunday. 5—What was the reason of stating ,all bells „had been paid but Theatre, and shortly afterwards contradict the statement by cutting a service for non payanentl 6 ---We stated when we got a Proper meter reading we would pay our bill and not Oil then, so the quicker they do this the quicker the town will get their money. 7 -As for complaining of voltage being low without reason. This is so absurd, we can hardly imagine a man of right sense uttering the dike. Busi- ness men know it was near impossible to carry on business before new trans- former was installed, the voltage was so low. On tate other hand the busi- ness men secured proper light, through our present fight for proper voltage. S—We would suggest eine these melt do not get like the Germans of the old country, too anxious to show their power of authority, and noble Cana- dian boys had to sacrifice their lives to halt their strides. 9—As for the Family Theatre we can operate without Hydro, and still mare we do not have to operate at alt Wp are not without knowing than the town reaped a greaterbenefit from the Flintily Theatre, than the managers did, and there are lots of towns, who would only be to glad to have a theatre 'conducted as Family Theatre was. 10—And if we are not over plus with money we are not ashamed of the fact, what we have we .made it honest, and probably did not have the chance to pile up money during war. 1 i—The people of Brussels do not have to go further 'than a neighboring town to find out a certain gentleman's ability in electric management, 12—'Next time you attempt to write in the paper better .gets facts and be able to back them up.
