Tbe W. F. A. in Ontario and -the league centering abont Montreal are the headgear- texsof the fastest Association foot - 2 bedr played in this eountr. . Why should not an atterapt be made to have these two leagues under a single board of control, ich would regulate the oharapionshins of the country e Seaforth, Berlin; Toronto and Galt would be the members of the wegtera group, while Ottawa, Valleyfield, Point St. • Charles and Montreal would be the prospeetive members at the eastern end. The championship of the local groups weld be decided, and then the two winners c,ould' • play for the chain- pionehip of the rountry. The Galt- Westmount games last year, taken collectively, were paying I proposi- tions, and there ahould be little trouble in financing this' project. It's up to some enthusiastic .lover of the great garae to present a cap ba football, to be what the Stanley Cup is to hockey.

As the matter has dow beei finally settled, there is nothing t'o e gain- ed in further discussing tie s phase of it. We had no intentirea of con- veying the impression that either t'he committee in charge- or the couneil were in any way censureable in the metter. On the contrary, we feel that the tom.naittee are to be commended far the troeble they took in trying to conserve tie inter- ests of the county. But it seemed to U2 that the ease was not one for coin - promise. If the defect on the pier was due to fault on the pare of the contractor tben he should bear the whole of the cost of the defecia But if it was due to an error Of judg- ment of the part of the county en- gineer and the work was right in every otber respect, then the entire aint Eihoudd be borne by the lootenty and no part of it by the eontractor.

While all were agreed that ;something should be done to improve the street, there was, of reoursei considerable divers- ity of opinion as to the nature .of the improvement, the, 'arament to be ex- pended, and the method by which the money fib °Bid be raised. BOMB ap- proved of the whole sobeme of the !council While some others approved of the proposed improvement, but objected' to ehe method of levy- ing the roost, holding le unfair to tax the property on Main street sleety per cent, of the cost, arid eta]. hold it responsible for its share of the other port of the improvement and of tlie eost of the maintenance of all the other streets of the town While still others thouglet the scheme too oosely for a town the size of Sea - Odle arid thought something Jess costly wold answer all purposes. Fin- ally,to reach aselefinitely a Consen- sus of opinion as possible, a motion Was made to ,the eneeot that, wbile the meeting recognized the neces- sity for the improvement .of the street, the scheme proposed Wu'l a deemed too wetly, and, reeoramend- ing the 'council to endeavor. to get something less expensive. An a- mendment was made, endorsing tete sdherne as proposed by the council. The meeting seemed to be pretty evenly divided, but the motion was declared carried, and the matter was left at that. After all, it rests en- tirely wieli the council and the prop- erty owners, on Main atreet, or that part of the street proposed to lee improved. 'If a. majority of the property owners, representing 50 per eent. of the messed value of the property petition the tom -mil a- gainst the proposed improvement, that ends the. matter.

But whether it would be advisable to spend so large an amount on a serial' portion of 'one street while so many other streets in town are even more !needful of 'repair, is a problem Which the -council will have to solve. It might be advisable for the 'omen - Oil before taking definite action to Becuire -the 'advice of some competent engineer es to the durability and eiost of .properly macadamizing. the stet& and the could then make a com_parison between the two. Many think that it the street were prop- erly leveled, drained and good water tables 'constructed along each side and then macadamized with good broken stone it would serve all par - poses and •would not cost, prebably, half 'the 'sum • ow proposed. It would be wise, e think, for the couneil to find out definitely con- cerning ,this -matter 'before they enter upon the larger expenditure.
