The Paving of Main Street.,
Mr. Editor, -Will you. kindly per-
mit me to express my views in. water
widely eironlated- newspaper in re-
gard to tbe proposed paving of Main
street. There is no doubt tnat Main
street as well as nearly all the 'other
streets in the, town are in a very
bad iotenditiott and require to be
greatly improved at as early ar date
as possible. Our worthy town
comeil deserve credit for :their
couraging in attempting to [grapple
with the great matter of improv-
ing the Main street. If the.tost was
not so .great I would be strongly in
favor of 'having Main street paved
bult When tj realize that it would
add oven three mills upon the dol-
lar to •outr present high taxation I,
feel that it is an impossibility for
a small town like Seaforth. The high
taxes would be a deterrent to new
citizens settling in the taint!. _Much
eMpilfaele was laid at the public
meeting upon the naatter of a fine
Main street .beiag a great induce-
ment to the farmers around to oome
into Sea -forth to trade. But so
long as the three leading 'streets
into the tetiv.n remain in the. quag-
mire (rendition :Mat they are at pre -
Sent, would the third a e mile of
Ane paved street be a sufficient in-
ducement to bring them through
the bad streets leading' east, west
and north?
May I 'be- permitted to make the
follo:wtog suggestion of e method
'by which the Main stinet may be
made an endellent one and the three
"Sitreets leading east, west and north
may be made good, passable, dur-
able roads, at a cost fairly :within
oter vin: -To grade and ma-
eadamize Main street and put a
sewer drain on the east side of the
street. And to make the other
streets mentioned somewhat similar •
to the portion of Main street south
-
of the •G.T.R. was made last year.
Snob -a scheme as this -would ne of
generel benefit :to the whole town
and I feed :certain there would not
be a single ratepayer 'unwilling to
pay their share of :the eapenst ne-
cessary to make this much 'needed
improvement. I do not think this
wixole work would cost _more than
ten to twelve thousand dollars, but
out progressive countit can engage
the services oof e. competent engin-
eer and prentical road :bender to
paake plans or the grading of Main
street and make an estirnate of the
oost before submitting a by-law for
the raising of the amount neeessany
to do the work.- YoUTS t r uly,

mer traded a buggy fIcT a horse be-
longing to one. Henry Rumiehr. The
latter got the 'buggy but the horse
was out at pasture Lund was not de-
livered to Mr, Beattie Who there -
ulna went to Mr. Rumehris and
took baok this boggy 'until tbe horse
sheuld be delivered. The ease was
tried 'before two magistrates eit;
Orediten and' Mr. Beattie honorabled
diadherged but Rumaht re-entered
the ease at Goderiche As the police
magistrate hail not p ower to 'dis-
pose of the ease Mr. S. G. Stardeury,

wto charged that false tests had
been given the patrons for the
orea.m sent by them to the factory.
It was admitted by Deavitt upon,
cronnexamination that he had not
taken proper -care of the samples,
having left them on the street
While he was in a hotel and he &G.
knowledged that if the samples were
not taken eerie of they might be
misleading. He had been discharg-
ed. by Bobier and subsequently had
trouble witb him over a chattel
mortgage Which Heiner had on his
