Dingman, editor of the Stret- ford Herald arid Mayor of Stratford. is camping at Maple Grove. near Grand Read, and In writing to his paper on various natters says regarding t'.c Bend: - • Sonmebody ought to say something about the Bend as a holiday resort. It le getting ng down at the heel and if improvement does not soon come will find its good name dintitie`ted. As the village is rot I;;cor'porated, the Town- ahips of Stephen and Ilosanquet, le which it is located, should take an in- terest in sprucing it up. The townships surely gel enough taxes from the Bend to warrant appropriations for good con- crete sidewalks each side of the Mali, .street down to the beach, and for main- taining a ccnstable to suppress rowdy- ism and preserve better order. Thee the properly-ownere wh;o possess the park -like areae which hold the cottages should show broader ideas of the fit- ness of things. Real privacy is impos- sible in the conditions that prevail over most of the place. Picnickers from the country are allowed to run wild a- mong the cottages, littering the ground and perpetrating smart -Alex. tricks. The picnic section should be entirely apart front the cottage section, and dil- apidated fencing should give place to something modern and real. An epi- demic of paint would be desirable. The :sanitary arrangements are coarse and in eome cases indecent. Too evidently the ideas of people respottalble for the holiday and cottage grounds are star- ved." • The Bend, however, has great pos- 3lbllitles as a summer resort of the beat class in the rtg:tt hands. It will take money to effect the. transforma- tion, but that it would pay there can b. no manner of doubt. If matters keep on a9 at present, the Bend will decline. But that fate should bo averted, and it easily can with enterprising co-operation between the owners and the townships. The preen of this section of Ontario should take the matter up and admin - later the needed prod. Stratford es in- terested in Grand Bend and in its being made into a clean, well appointed place.'

A):p1y to RANDEtt9 A CREFrit. levier MEETING 1tE- WATER WORKS A well attended meeting of ratepay- ers took place a tthe Town Hall on ruesday evening when the water works question was discussed. Mr. T. Harvey was moved to the chair, and he innmed lately called upon Reeve McCallum to state the object of the meeting and to address the ratepayers. The reeve reviewed the matter of Inc water works discussion during the pre- sent year. A public meeting had ex- pressed the opinion that the council si:ould procure an engineer to look over ti:e ground and give a report with es- timates. Willis Chipmnan. a very com- petent man, had been secured and visit - el Exeter in March last. His report gave three propositions which the reeve reed. The first involved an expenditure of 327,000, tine second •39,000, and the third 851,000. The council conoid Bred the matter carefully and brought forth a proposition contained in the pre- sent by-law, involving an expenditure of $22,000 for fire works for fire pur- poses only. The engineer i:ad advised the use of the river, which was largely awing water, ttte building of a stand- pipe. Installing a gasoline engine, and laying watermains. The council con- sidered it could be done for $22,000 on a scale that would allow of an in- creasing of the system should it be- come necessary, as the mains, stand- pipe and Intake would be large enough for any purposes. There would then be no fear of at any time finding it necess- ary to tear down and build larger. We would simply have to extend the 'system as we found it necessary. He believed the council had proposed the beet sys- tem available, and he would like a good discussion from both sides. The old tank syt` ::t could be repaired but he thought It would not be judicious. Mr. L. Hardy stated that the $22,000 would leer -ease the debt too much for a town th's size. particularly, as he stated. when as much as 1000 acres of the 1200 within the corporation was ex- empt froth the to-, because it was farm property. He thought the bonds could never be sold and the credit of the town would be. much impaired. He wished not to discuss the necessity of waterworks, except to say that the present system had answered well for marry years. Mr. 11. E. Pickard asked what reduc- tion in htsurance premiums would be made on commercial risks after the by- lew system of fire protection had been Installed. The reeve answered that Mr. Chipman said about 23 per cent. It was hard to tell before the system was installed. No satisfaction could be had from the unnderwriters. He had no doubt er would be placed in Claes C. lisle td of Class D. as at present. Bet- ter condition, as to fire protection would surely demand better terms from the insurance companies. He did not wish to discuss the question of better insur- ance terms, nor the revenue to be deriv- ed from people using water for lawns. etc., although he had considerable en- couragement along those lines. What the town needed fleet and foremost was better fire protection, and that was the main thing to be considered . Mr. W. Bawden thought another part of the river besides Mr. Howard's could be secured and be more suitable, and considerable discussion took place on this point wit:h the result that nearly all were in favor of the Howard property as being the most suitable, and that the price, f1700, was a very reasonable one. Mr. Thos. Harvey suggested that the east side of Main street for a water supply was preferable, owing to ttte fact teat mucin of the drainage of the town went in at the bridge. Mr. F. W. Gladman took exception to Mr. Hardy's statement as to the num- ber of acres of farm land and claimed that tee assessment books only showed six men ae owning over the required 20 acres of farm property, so that there war not nearly as much land as Mr. Hardy stated exempt from the tax. Nearly half of the town taxes, he said. were paid by business men. who were assessed as much for five feet an many places were assessed for one-fifth of an acre. It Is then a matter of assess- ment. not of the amount of land held. The business men he felt sure, were in favor of the by-law. and they paid a targe amount of the taxes. The ques- tion 1s—Do we require better fire protection? ire thought so. The tank system is not good enough. The council hag submitted a good plant of securing the water. The proposition seems to be good all through. as It forms the nucle- us of a complete system. The stend- p:pc 1a necessary to give a quick ser- vice. Mr. J. A. Stewart was strongly in fa vor of the proposition and considered it sound in every w;.y. We would certai l:. get a better insurance rate, and if w. got better protection we would not need to carry as much insurance. Mr. R. E. Pickard thought we would get :to better 1 esurance rate unless we kept a permanent engineer and a paid fire brigade. Air. T. 13. Carlinng thought the propos- ition gocd. and 11 we would not accept tele one we should priduce a better one. Something must be done. We must deal with the question sooner or later.

BUGGY DUSTER FOUND 1-11tE AT GRAND BEND On Monday nnoreing, during the storm 'lightning struck the .tables belonging to Mr. Jos. Brenner, and used in con- nection with his hotel, now being con- ducted by Mrs. Fritz. It would seem that the lightning first struck the flag pole and ran down it to the barn. The building was a frame structure and was directly across the road from the ho- tel, and it was very fortunate that the wind was in the right direction, other- wise the hotel and probably other bull - dings would have fallen a prey to the flames. As It was even the house to the south of the stable was saved. Several horses were In the stable at the time, but these and all movable ar- ticles were saved. There was no insur- ance on the bui'ding. Mr. Brenner will at once commence rebuilding. Local Items Miss Earl of Exeter North has gone to London to teach, Miss A. M.
