A Plea for Civic Harmony,

Some serious thought may well be

QOestlon of the town's civic equipment.
When this question comes up some-
one is sure to remark to the effect
that "w'ti canted do auything because
the town Is tied up by its debenture
debt" This ha. been beard so often
abut it has be.ome almost a settled
tousiettou, and every step towxrdn

ed ides that Goderich Is staggering
beneath a burden of debt. Mow far

cember 31wt. 10123 wa. 1291.967. In
191:; it was $424.043.t4. Thus in tau
year; there bas leen a reduction of
over $162,000. Euenn year a portion is
Ira of/ and withtn the next aeweu
years there will be a further retitle-
ai..0 of over 1100,000.
By the end of the year 1930, then,
our debenture debt will be lrsa than
1190,000-1F in the meantime we lame
no further debeutures. But we do not
suppose taut anybody seriously pro-
poses that for the next etz or *even
gars the town should stand still and
let the civic plant go to wreck simply
in order to avoid new investments. It
-would be tad bueine', for a private

that we are to keep our civic plant in
shape and up to date. We need improv-

Even political campaign meetings are
held under difficult conditious. The
community 'spirit of the town is dulled
and deadened by the lack of any place
for the getting together of the people.
Improvement projects, such as those
for the hospital and the Collegiate In-
stitute, would be easier to carry if-
tbe people could be brought togrth
to discuss them under comfortable Bir-
cumstances. A good deal, too. might
be said as to the urgent necessity of
better aeeommodatlon for the civic of-
fices and the protection of the civic
records; if anybody wants any In-
formation t ibis -point let him en-
quire of any of the ofneera at the town
hall. The auditorium to come tion
with a hew hall could be rented for
meetings and entertainment--, and the
revenue metered in this way would kelp

Now, then, with these three projects
before us., what is to be done? When.
ever any particular propoeitlon comes
op for a decision you hear people
saying that something else is needed

eons/. of whom at least will not sup-
port rinser of the others until they
get their own favorite project put
through. The writer beard two citi-
zens diecusatng this very matter not
long ago and one of them, wbo has
held the highest Dace In the town,
summed up the situation by stating
that the town was divided tido groups
-"gauge was the word he used -each
bent on Its own object and unwilling
to give way to any other. Isn't there
a good deal of troth in this??

then each proposition when It should
