To make it worse, he was alone, and it was a long time before his cries brought help. He would surely have been killed, had he not had presence of mind enough to shut off the power.

To the Editor of the Advance. •March 23rd, 1912 Dear Sir :—As I feel satisfied that half of the ratepayers in Turnberry do not know how the Council is con- ducting our bridge business, I think it is but fair, that they should know, if you will kindly grant me space in the Advance. At the nomination on Dec. 22nd last, .the aspirants to office wished to know how the ratepayers wished to pay for the building of the bridges. The almost unanimous expression of the meeting by show of hand, was in favor of passing a by-law and issuing debentures, and the general impres- sion was that, that would be the course pursued. But in The face of all this„• at the Council meeting held on the 5th of Feb., they proceeded in their own little private business way, with- out calling for tenders, to let the steel work of two bridges at $2500 each, one to be paid on the 15:h of Dec , 1912, and the other to be paid on the 15th of Dec., 1913, when they know or should have known that the con- tract to pay for the second bridge was illegal, as the law distinctly states,. that no council can contract a debt not payable within the year they are in office, except by debenture. Then at the Council meeting on the 5th of March, although the public minutes on the bridge question are as silent as the grave, the bridge ques- tion was brought up and while two of the members of the Council were sane enough to want to do the bridge busi- ness in a proper and legal way, the majority still wants to go on as if it was their own private business, ap- paently forgetting that they are only the servants of the people, and that the ratepayers have a just right to say how they wish, to pay for these bridges, and it is the duty of the Council to give them. a chance to ex- press themselves. Three bridges should be built this summer, as they are all three veritable death traps, and the Township might be liable any day to pay heavy damages. Now I think it would be in order for some of the wiseheads to rise and ex- plain how the Council of 1913 can col- lect an illegal tax, and also where is the limit of loose debts unprovided 'for, that a council ,can contract and leave to their successors. These are a few of the facts In re- gard to the bridge question in Turn - berry, but not all that can be said, Ratepayer. with marked drop in temperature, and sleet and snow possible far north» ward, are among the probabilitiee. A reactionary storm period, central on the 1.3th, 14th and 15, is at the center of the Mercury period) under the increasing strain of the Venus period, with moon on the celestial equator on the 15th. As this period' comes on, the barometer will almost surely fall to threatening conditions, the tem- perature will rise very high, and severe storms of wind, rain, bail and thunder will pass eastwardly across the country, on and touching the 14th and 15th. The Venus period is central on the 23rd, and the moon is at greatest north declination and perigee on the 21st and 22nd. This astronomic condition calls for steady wind currents from the south, low barometer, very high temperature, ending in electrical storms, heavy rain, and destructive hail storms in wide sections. Torna- does will visit various parte, especi- ally in southern regions ; snow and sleet squalls will most likely visit many sections northward during this period. The reactionary storm period cen- tral on the 25th to 26th being at the center of the Venus period, threaten- ing and stormy weather, continued from the preceding period) will most likely lead up to 25th and 20th, and thence forward into the closing days of the month, causing a long spell of stormy and unsettled weather, There will be a marked increase in the severity of storms on and touching the 25th and 26th. Hicks' Forecasts For April. ., A reactionary 'storm period falls centrally on the 3rd and 4th, but storms of thunder and rain may develop a day or - two earlier. The Venus equinox, also earth's equinox, bear upon this period) making very active storms possible and probable. A regular storm period "covers the Oth to the 11th. Change to ttluch warmer, with falling barometer and threatening clouds, will appear west• ward on the Oth and lth, and daring the 8th, 0,11 and 10th, these condi. tiorto will grow into active storms of rain, wind and thunder, AS they pass eastward' Bail, rain and thunder, 'news Items S —St. Marys Cement Co, has signed for 1200 horsepower of hydro -electric; this will reduce the cost $0 per horse- power to the town. —The Milton oil well is still attract- ing large attention.

P. R. is planning a dock track at Goderich, to go from the main line to the piers, as well as a flour storage shed 300 feet by 40 feet to be erected on the dock. The estimated cost is about $30,000, but the matter is in abeyance, —Christopher Bennington, of Strat- ford, aged • 70 years, was seized with heart failure while uptown on Satur- day afternoon with his,two sons, Wil- liam and Sammy, and dropped dead.
