Wpi OUR CONFIDENCE JUSTIFIED If the name Eastman Ian had not been behind them, we would have been afraid that there was something beside the price that was cheap, when the Brownie Ganieras first came out, But they were made by Kodak workmen in the Kodak factories. That was enough to satisfy us, and the results have more. than justified our confidence. We don't understand how the Kodak people do it at the price, but here's their NO. 2a BROWNIE For x 41 pictures, price only $3.00. Work just like a Kodak and makes wonderfully good pictures; other Brownies, $1.00 to $12.00. Walton McKibben THE DRUCCIST rai raw Macdonald Block, Wingham, We Nave It !

By-law No. 634 for the raising of $5,000 on debent res for the comple- tion of the Win am waterworks sys- tem will be voted on by the ratepayers on Monday, July Oth. This is a very important questiand should receive the very carefu consideration of all our ratepayers. The comrnissioners have already spe t some $1,200 of the $6,000 voted in J:nuary, 1910, on the sinking of the we is at the electric light plant. To proper y complete the sys- tem and provid Winghamites with a supply of pure w ter for domestic pur- poses an addition.1 $5,000 is required. We are well awar that there'is oppo- sition to this by -la on the ground of the changing the 1,:cation .of the wells. The Commissione s were acting in what they consider d was in the best interests of the r:tepayers when this change was'made,.nd were backed up in making the chane by a large num- ber of our ratepaye s. We believe the matter of securing tire water for the town is too large a question to be de- feated on the score •f making a change in the location of t • wells, The town needs the pure wat r and our ratepay- ers should look at he question fairly and give the town what is very badly needed—pure wate Some ratepayers do not look with fa or on the Commis- sion system of doin any portion of the town's business, b t this should have no bearing on the in question --pure water. The Com issioners, in our opinion, if the by -1 w is carried, wil spend the money onestly and to the very best interests of the ratepayers. Every ratepayer h::, as ]tis privilege,. the right to vote as he or she may think proper on his by-law, and the TIMES has no d sire to unduly Mush ratepayers to vo in favor of the by- law, . but we w Id be neglecting our duty if we did n t urge oar ratepayers to supporta by aw that we Consider is in the very hes:,iitorests of the town.
