A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE.
The ratepayers of Goderich did a good
day's work on Monday in voting to endorse
the municipal bylaw to assist the National
Shipbuilding Co. by a guarantee of bonds.
The vote of 577 to 157 was a splendid
testimonial of confidence in Mr. W. H.
Hutchinson and his associates in the
management of the C ompany. 1t is also
a declaration that Godericie intends to
maintain its industrial position and wi
make reasonable concessions to manilla

Company is now under obligation to art'
out its commitments and to demo -trate
that the vote of confidence it has eived
has been well placed.
It is exceedingly unfortunate that just
at this juncture the tire of Tu qday night
should occur and destroy a v luable part
of the Company's property. At this time

SAVE MONEY ON GROCERIES
The coming of May Day is in many
places a signal for strife between labor ; Firstly, during the past year the Province
and capital ; but in Goderich the day 1 had been forced to cancel contracts for
saw employers and employees working bridges. culverts and cement roads be-
cause it was ut,able to obtain sufficient
supplies of cement. Secondly, a 350 -
pound barrel costs 13.20 in Ontario. while
a 376 -pound one costs only 12.20 in the
United States, and. furthermore, the
Government was cs nfident thst it you'd
sell for a price less than either of these
figures. 1 hirdly, a modern plant with
up-to-date machinery could produce
cement superior in quality to the product
at present being offered on the Canadian
market. Mr. Biggs emphasized the fact
that the Government had no desire to
enter into competition with private con-
cerns on the open market, but that it
merely desired to provide a reliable source
of supply for municipal and Provincial
needs.
together, side by side, to secure the pass-
ing of a bylaw which is in the interests of
ell. This is the way it should be; ,progress
comes through co operation, not through
strife.
The Federal Government is backing up
on its "no patronage" program. The
members on the Government side of the
House are not content to allow the plums
to be picked without having some say as
to who is to have _the fruit, and the Gov-
ernment, which has travelled a long way
down hill from the lofty elevation on
which it perched in 1917, is not strong
enough to stand by its own policy.
Faalis descensus Averni.
The vote of 157 against the bylaw on
Monday is evidence of a considerable
body of opinion opposed to bonus bylaws
and such concessions. This is a safeguard
against the carrying of any bylaws which
do not sufficiently guard the interests
of the general body of ratepayers.
While The Signal is confident that good
results will follow Monday's vote. it has
no quarrel with anybody who voted
against the bylaw in the sincere belief
that in so doing he was performing his
duty as a ratepayer.
