An.s.-Section 250 of the Munici- pal Act says ;"Every Council may pass by-laws and make regulations ' for the health, safety, Morality - and welfare of the inhabitants of of the municipality in matters, not, specially provided for in the Mun- icipal Act; and may pass, such by- laws as may be, deemed expedient, not contrary to law, ,etc. Sectio ' 249, sub -sec. 2, isays; Al bylaw pas- sed by the Council in the exercise of powersconferred by this Act, and in good faith shall •not be open to question, or be quashed on ace:met of the unreasonablenees of its provislioris, 'etc. But ,you say there was no by-law, therefore the parties can only be governed .by the private agreement; and, of course, those who did not sign the. agreement or petition, cannot be taxed for the street watering. Your ietatement of the facts' is very meagre, and therefore my an- swer may not be as satisfactory as I would like it to be. J. P.

You have not stated !tom what company the policy was obtained. I cannot thereforewith any degree of certainty tell you what 'the sons may do with regard to the poliey, even with the con- sent of their mother. But speak- ing generally I think that any doc- ument signed by the mother and the sons, will be recognized by the company as binding upon all of the parties. A. C., Auburn.-Qu.-(1)Must a Township Council at the request of one of the owners of land adjoin ing a 'municipal drain" direct engineer to make an estimate of cost of deepening, widening and ex tending the said drain into a neigh boring township? (2) Must a ma- jority of the owners petition the Council for the' constauction or improvement of the drain? (3) If a majority of the owners are op- posed to the construction of the drain on account of the, expense, can the Council refuse to act upon the request of one or more of the parties? Ans.--I think your case comes un dee the Municipal Drainage Actof 1910, and does not come under the Ditches and Watercourses Act of 1912, but I am only guessing, as you have not told me -which Aet you come under. You say that ' the drain is a ''municipal drath." The Municipal Drainage Act says tho petition mak be signed by a ma- jority in number of the resident and. non-resident owners', as 'shown by the Met revised easessment emit to be the owners of the land to be benefited. I find nothing in the Act empowering anyone individually to tater.pro medinge to compel the Council to deepen, widen or clean out a draM. But section 77 says the Council has power to improve any drain 'Which has been 'construct ed under any by-law of theamunini pality. It further says.; -"Where - ever, for the -better maintainance of any dminage work constructed under the provision's. of !this Act, 'or any other Act re's.pecting drain- age by local ase,esoment, it is de- emed expedient to improve, ex- tend or alter the work, the Council may, without petition, undertake end( complete 'the timprovemetlite, extensionsor alterations resomm-, ended by the report of the engin- ecr, at the expense of the proper,- ty owners to be benefited, thereby and subject to the right of appeal."

" Christmas Shopping There are lees than two weeks now till Christ/nal. The advice to do your Christmas shopping early is Ivo old that it has become com- monplace, i theeefore, ,anything which could be said on that sub- ject would not ',be new.

They can (fake greater leisure in doing their buying and experience more comfort. It is an advantage to the merchant • and his staff of salesmen (and sales- women as well. They are 'not hur ried by the crowds that throng the ,storesi Christmas (week and can wait on customers. with more sat- isfaction. , I Then, it iv well ;to buy, at home. The storms of Clinton lane 'filled with choice goods (of every class, and they ,cran ibe bought as cheap here as they can .lels,ewhere, even in Toronto. Some people have an idea that they <cannot do as well at home, but this is a mistake. The 'merchant who live-in Clinton is deserving of the patronage df the people of Clinton and' ithe district tributary to it, because the money spent is earned here, And this con- sideration should weigh .'when, you can ,do eqvally as well in 'buying.

EARLY CHRISTMAS PARCELS Help All Concerned by Early Sending. •=••••••••••• This year, as never before should the advice tosend your Christmas presents early be heeded. The post riffle e departmentsent out the usual warning abouteted- ing Christmas mail early, but with a new and more startling emphas- is. Always, the sharp increase in business) during holiday time has been a problem for the post -office. A force completely adequate ail the Teat .of the year is heavily tax- ed at this, time. . The post-officee will .handle it all. Be sure of that. But there me a e, limit tells capacity, and if all the, Cluastmas sending is crowded ant° the week before December 25, it may easily be that all the Christ- mas delivering will not be done bee fore sometime late in' January. Forehanded folks', therefore, will get their Christmas packages ready and mailed in plenty of time. A "Not to beOpened Till Christmas" label will do the rest. And if this forces, you to DO YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING EARLY that's elite the ,good. It' will give you the picic-of uu- handierI and undepleted stocks.; it will put your ,shopping at a time When the salespeople will have more time to help you make intel- ligent seletcions, and wise dispesals of your money ; it will enable you to escape the crowds, of a few days before Christmas; it will lighten the burdens of the rneeehants,, the ' clerks, the el,elivery boys; it.wilL make things better and easier for you and everybody concerned.
