of The Fergus News -Record:
The following facts relating to the
progressive :Town of Clinton,•evere
gathered during a visit last Thursday;
It was interesting to learn what a
town, neither as large nor ars; 'wealthy
as Fergus, has accomplished in the
way of Municipal enterprises.
Clinton is situated about 12 miles
southeast' of Goderich, at' the inter-
section of the C. N. R. line '-be-
/tween Buffalo and Goderich : and
the C. N. R. line between Lon-
don, and Wingham. It was incor-
uprated as a town in -1886 with -a.
epopulation of about 2,400. The popu-
lation has decreased in reeemet years,
however, until now it is somewhat be-
low the 2,000 inark. According ' to
Mr. Macpherson, the Town Clerl£, the
assessment for taxation purposes
totals approximately $860,000.00 as-
compared to Fergus with over $1,100,-
000,00.
1,100;000.00. Within the limits of the
Town there are several miles of firet
class tarvia-bound macadam streets.
Provincial Highway;' No. 8 /between
Stratford and Goderieh runs' through
he
t town tt by way of its. Main street.
It is already paved with concrete from
Stratford as far as Mitchell; and it
is expected' that the remaining 32
mules between Mitchell and. Goderich
will be paved during 1927,
Good Municipal Buildings
Clinton has fitiet-class, centrally lo -
seated municipal buildings, partly sur-
rounding a small -park area in the
centre of which is a large ,ornamental
fountain and on ane side towards the
main street a drinking fountain. This
park and other park spaces in town
have been ,beautified by the local
Hortieultural Society. The 1Veunioipal
buildings include one with an assem-
b1,r hall of 000 capacity, and separate
Bret class offices with vaults, for the
Town Clerk, the Town Assessor and
athe Hydro. and Waterworks state, To
aecommodate the Hydro Electric and
Waterworks Department a separate
building across the park from the
main building was purabased: This
building eontains first Hass rest rooks
for ladies.. A Substantial fire hall
and a fine public library face this
park also. Carved in ledsandstone
in the front wall of.the library -is the
name "Stavely Reading Rooms."
'Twenty* odd years ago a wealthy than.
by the name of Stavely, without any
relatives died and left no will. The
•Government appropriated the estate,
but gave. the town sufficient money
out of it to* erect the main part of
the library, A Carnegiewing was
added Iater. The Post Office is a fine
three storey brick building with a
clock tower and , is situated at the
intersection of three main streets. On
the narrow front of the .building is a
large bronze: tablet bearing the names
of 33 men of the town who were
killed overseas. C1111'6011 is a Port
of Entry, so the. Post Office has a
wing to house the Ouaton a Depart-
, rnent, The Waterworks and Hydrq
stations are centrally located. The
electrical consumption of the town
runs between. 250 and 300 kilowatts
' and costs ,about $50 per horsepower
pee year. The town Waterworks sys-
tem was installed during 1909 and
1910 and edst about $75,000,00. Ad-
ilitibns have been made until the to-
', tall investment in waterworks . is ap-
Proximately $120,000. There are four
wells, each 350 feet in depth and
each equipped with a separate motor
driven deep well working head. The

cludes a reservoir intheground close
to the pumping station and a tali
stand pipe ;situated on a hill at some
distance from the well. An attraee
five lawn with sheltered 'seats and a
drinking fountain is 'located at the
C.N.R. station. The town has -a brass
band and the band stand is located hi
the centre of the business section.

Major McTaggart presented a beauti-

money to equip the hospital 'brought
in only $900, so in order to make up
the, balance necessary,, the town is-
sued debentures , totalling. $7;o00. A
'second: drive, . made some time later,
when the hospital had : proved .its
great value, was very successful and'
resulted in a total of $5,000 being eoI-
lected. Each year the Hospital holds.
a January* Birthday Celebration ;and
a bazaar in October and ,realizes from
$300' to $500 from each event. With
those exceptions the Hospital is ,fully
self-supporting and is paying off
principal, and . interest on the loan
from the Town and dim a floating
debt of about $1,200. The local
physicians form an advisory contnmit-
tee and,eo-operate in every way pos-
sible with the ,Board n'f Management.
Miss Grainger,' the Superintendent,
has a teat, of five nurses and: four
other assistants, including the house

This fall a complete X -Ray outfit was

Board, with the help and backing of
the different live organizations in the
town started an intensive campaign
of education in favor of the new ,Col -

Fergus More Prosperous
• Although still avillagc Fergus has
a greater population; more wealth
and'a far " brighter outlook for in-
ereasing both' its population and its
wealth than hails the 1. oevn of Clinton,
Situated '. as it is in the beautiful
Grand River( Valley onboth of dan-
ada's greatest railroads and consider
tubly"nearer to Toronto and Hamilton,
Fergus has much of advantage over
Clinton. Wie can learn is great deal
from that town however, in. the .art
of laying• out boulevards, beautifying"
our parks and also about successful
ways and means of .solving -our dif-
ferent municipal problems, Theen-
thusiastic cooperation of, all pi•ogre ;.
sive Fergus citizens -is needed to put
Fergus .in time front rank of the

Until after dagger from frost is over.
Previous to setting out they should
be well watered and as .much of the
soil and roots be moved with. the
-plant as possible.. It is well to choose
a dull day or else delay planting un-
til late afternoon.
The naval distance Of 'getting the
plants is four by four feet. Varloue
methods are used' to facilitate the
work of setting-- some growers
plough out £arrows, others mark
their dells and dig the holes while
the most common method with the

s tting the plants. It is good prac-
tice

Just being pleasantseems a little

perhaps not., -There is .such a quan-

that one would need to bp up -and do-

But why cannot, we make up our

only worthy of idlers.

this is a wrong attitude tq take al-
