ie, some hope left for a still brighter
future for our town, for unless our
citizens take hold of 'these Meetings
and show their appreciation or dislike
of the council's doiogsfor the past year,'
things are liable to go hap hazard. We
are now its an era of prosperity and
out town is going ahead. With our
gra,nolithic sidewalke the old council
has acted wisely throughout, they have
, saved us money and for Mfg VI.6. should
feel thankful. .0.ther questions dequal,

expenditure of nooney, yet the sooner
thealare tackled, the better the town's
reputation- will be. These are our roads

"patted raising money by debentures
to complete the task when commenced.
It is true our roads as" exhibited during
the paskwet year made the most of
our citizens quiver at the -s and..
our ditches and sevvere are a menace to
public life on some streets, as to- the
beautifying of our little square, the
trimming . of the trees to an even
