A SUGGESTION.
To the Editor of The .News.
Sir: May I ask the indulgence of
News readers for one moment. Sea-.
forth has a new hos.pital (two hospital
buildings, in fact), a new bowling
green and club house, schools, public
library, paved streets, splendid stores
and business houses • with courteous
clerks, and many other features which
give ,pleasure to residents and attract
outsiders.
Let •us all pull together for one more
undertaking which is sadly lacking:
that is a well-equipped public rest
room with lavatories and convenient
to _Rain Street. ',Cities and `other towns
with which Seaforth must compete in
this motor age, provide for the com-
fort of their clientele.
Seaforth is in sound financial condi-
tion and can well afford the invest-
ment, • being unlike Chicago, that
model (?) city across the line, which
has already spent its next year's taxes
and is a hundred million dollars be-
hind.
In all humbleness I • submit the
suggestion.
