When we consider what other cities and towns are /doing to (secure the boon that Clinton already posses- ses, ave `may prize our pure water asset more highly,' For instance: Winnipeg isabout to spend over $13,000,000 in recur - ling a permanent water supply. It will take five yearly Oto complete the work, which will begin' at once. Ottawa is facing a huge expendi- ture to ensure an adequate supply of pure water, either by filtering. water from the. Ottawa river, or connecting Mains with the Gatin- eau' lakes on, the Quebec bide, to distance of some 25 miles from the capital. New York is sooin, to get it wa- ter supply . frfom the Catskills, a distance of 150 miles' or more, at a cost of 'millions' of dollars for the construction of the Mains.

A good road has been made now, Every year the matter of revis- ing the Bylaws of the town conte up, (but nothing is 1 ever done. Many are so antiquated and stale as to be nothing short of a joke, while others overlap, In. Port Ar- thur the various civic committees are making a thorough study of the various ordinances with the ob- ject of ;a thorough revision. The revised by-laws will then be prin- ted and will either he distributed to the citizens who desire ahem or will be sold ;at a nominal price to cover the cost of the publication .Year after year in every munici- pality scoter of by-laws are pas- sed, Some of their are put througn as the result on eircurusl•rncetsNay conditions which later are fbund to be but temportiey, The by-law is not needed, It is forgotten' and it becomes an anachronism on the civic statutes, Many .of the local by -Laws undoubtedly overlap, and there is scarcely a municipality in Canada which has been ineorpor- Ater" foe score •of years where there ate not ordinances which have been duplicated.
