The Brussels Post, 1898-5-6, Page 4rpt}jBjc. BRUSSELS POST FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1898, Br reference to our advertising col - untie this week the statement of es. lenses of East Huron candidates at the last Provincial eleotion may be read. Mr. Hislop expended in all $77.70 and Mr. Mooney $74.41, Some of the can- didates who have to "got down in iheir dip" to the tune of not only hundreds bet thousands of dollars would conceive East Huron to be a bed of roses or a olover patch, Wo bays not seen the statements from the other Ridings in Huron, but wo feel sate in venturing the assertion that the expenditure of any one of the other candidates will exceed the joint amount of Messrs. Hislop and Mooney. Mr, Garrote's expenses were over 0400. East Huron leads the van, not only in this particular, but from the fact that we are not in the protest bust. nese. No less than 05 protests have boon en- tered against members of the Ontario Legislature. One of the latest is against the return of T. T. Garrow, M. P. P. for West Huron, who was Bleated by the pasting vote of Registrar Gibson who is made co-respondent. We would like to see West Huron opened up just to show the publio generally that the clever law- yer representative is able to carry the Riding by 100 of a majority when the electore set about it. There were five Liberal voters from West Huron in Brus- sels on last election day attending Mait- land Presbytery, whose votes were not re- corded for the reason that the Presbytery called them from home. Some of the gentlemen we spoke to said Mr. Garrow was safe enough any how. This is only one of numerous instances of the kind. West Huron Liberals were over confident and misoalcnlated the hard work being done by Mr. Beck. THIS is an age of bad penmanship and no where is it more apparent than in the professions. It is not one lawyer in twenty-five who writes so you can readily read it and their signature is usually a Chinese puzzle. In many oases the above is equally true of clergymen, doctors and other professional men, not barring Edi• tore, and as a consequence a good deal of the pleasure of correspondence is taken awayin the heroic endeavor necessary to decipher the handwriting. The Irish maiden, with few scholastic advantages, ' was of a practical turn, worthy of imita- tion, when she addressed her lover as fol- lows :—"Deer Pat.—i sind my Inv on a anbage leef if you cant rade it you can ate it." Bridget's letter if it did not en- lighten the mind or gladden the heart would go a little way toward upholster. ing the stomach and thereby surpasses many of the modern epistles. We have hope in the vertical system of writing in. trodueed into our Public, schools and ex- peet that from this foundation a better class of scribes will grow up to take the place of the present incorrigibles. Good paper, pen and ink are essential requisites to the production of good manuscript but above and beyond this there must be some pains taken to make the chirography readable. We believe the pen is often mightier than the sword and illustrations might be found every day of life abbrevi- ated by overtaxing in trying to oipher out a badly written communication. Don't say like the breeohy animal "Bxouse baste and a bad pen," but take a pride in your handwriting and thereby sweeten the lives of the postmasters, mail clerks and the recipient of your note. Bnnssens property owners are asked to vote on a ByIaw next Monday relative to planing sidewalk building and Beware on the frontage prineiple. The polls will open at 9 e. m, in A. Gousley's store for residents Bast of Turnberry street and South of the river; at the Council Cham. be for those West of Turnberry street and South of the Maitland ; and at Ales, Ellis', Queen street, for ail North of the river. The Returning Odieere will be A. Cousley, F. S, Scott and G. F. Blair. Poll will close ab 5 o'eiook and a majority of the votes polled will carry or defeat the Bylaw as the case may be. Friday evening of this week a public meeting will be held in the Town Hall to disonse the question ; explain any phases not clearly understood and answer questions relative to it. In another column we give the experience of the Ottawa Journal on the matter of a oomparison of prices of plank ve. granolithia walks and we are pleased to see that in that city they have been able to put down the latter as cheap- ly as the plank and this right in the head•oentre of the lumbering district. We also reproduce the gist of lettere re. eeived from Exeter, Wingbam and Lis- towel during the past week showing the satisfaotiou their new waike have given them. It will be well for voters to re' member that the carrying of the Bylaw does not make the building of granolithio walk a neoeeeiby as plank or gravel could be need if the petition calla for it, but if a more permanent walk can be pat down ae cheaply everybody will of 000ree be anxious to secure wbat will give the best value. Nor dies the carrying of the By. law gay that walks will have to be built this year, in foot the ratepayers have a hold on the expenditure of coney under i to the Bylaw not poeaiblo without it, henoe we look for it big majority in its favor and at the some time prove that Brue• seines are progreseive; after permanency and in line with other places of the size such as Elora, Exeter, coo. Pine plants lute advanced $1.00 per AI this year, and is dilfioult to gat even eb $14.00 per M. Vote for the Bylaw ou Monday. Granolithio vs, Plank,L An exchange gives seine informati about sidewalks, which, if reliable, show revolutionize the present method of ma ing walks in the towns and cities Canada. Nobody denies that granolithia aid walks are immensely superior to pla sidewalks. The ahiet objection to t granolithio or permanent cement sidewa is that it is alleged to be so much dear than the plank. But what if grauolith can be laid down at as low a cost as plaul In Ottawa it has been discovered th this can be done. As a matter of fact hits been ascertained, after studying t tenders submitted for the construction sidewalks, that granolithio will be °heap than planks as sidewalk material t0 year, The Ottawa Journal gives these co parative figures showing the cost of b two classes of walks ; Last year a fiv foot plank sidewalk cost 4a cants, an granolithia "iron facing" 4 3.5 cents p foot frontage. This year the figures are Plank, 4 4.5 cents ; granolithio, 41.1 cents. A six-foot sidewalk, plank, la year cost 0 cents and granolithio, iro facing, 0 1.5 cents. This year plan costs 0 1.0 cents and granolithio 5} cent An eight -foot plank sidewalk Iast yea cost 8 cents, and artificial stone, cur fazing, 10 1-5 cents. This year the figure for both sidewalks are the same, 8 3 cents. While the plank sidewalk is guarantee for only five years, the granolithio fo twenty years. If Ottawa can get grauolithic sidewalk at as low a cost as plank there seems t be no reason why the same thing amino be done elsewhore. And if 0 can be don not another plank should be laid in th construction of new sidewalks. Of pours as satisfactory results as to prices ea hardly be expected to be secured in smal towns as in the aities,but with experieno as to methods, etc., the permanent pave menta can soon be built, in fact, are n being laid in many small planes, at ve low cost. It is evident from the Ottawa Journal' figures that plank walks, as well as th granolithio, are laid in Ottawa on th frontage tax system. SATtsPAcxonr nviaoxcii. Town Clerk Ferguson, of Winghain writes: "Our debentures for grauolithi walk aro issued on the instalment plan to run 15 years at 4%. They sold at par. Prices paid last year for walk were 11 oents and 10:1 cents per square foot. We make no allowance for corner lots when walk is built on one side only but if on both sides 25% is borne by the town. This is the general rule but exoepbions occur as some properties are more bene- fitted by two walks than °there. The walks here are giving tiptop satisfaction and if any injury pervails it was occasion. ed by defective foundation. We built 8 miles of walk last year and they have been so satisfactory that the Council has paid the contractor the last payment, be. ing 10% of the contract price, not due un- til October, which was retained a000rding to agreement as a guarantee of the work. The pride quoted included all excavation or filling in below the suli•grade and also all temporary as well as permanent curb- ing on the front street and at crossings and private drive -ways. There is no particular inconvenience in tunnelling under pavement if necessary to lay or open cellar drains. Our By.law was. carried by a majority of 02. In some low ground we lay 4 inch tile for drainage purposes. The town furnished the the and the eonbraebor bayed them without extra charge. If walk is bayed against a brick or stone wall would suggest that dry sand be put between walk and wall to revent any connection and thereby per• 0 the former to settle evenly. If the oundation under the sub grade has the urface well pounded down and the extra urfaeeis of solid material and pounded own in layers, and all low or wet ground roperly tiled there ie little danger of imaged sidew alks. Prices quoted are ose of last year. We expect to build about 3 miles more walk this Summer." Clerk Binning, of Listowel, has this to y along the same line :—"We let our Minot last season at 10a cents per quare foot, inoluding filling. Our de. ensures run 20 years at 4%. Ws sold ,100 worth for $6,204. On corner lots y e allow a off on one side, the town pa g bilis, Our experience with these elks is 8 years and there will not likely any other kind of want used here after is as they are undoubtedly the cheapest alk in the long run and should last iby 50 years if constructed according epecifioabione. The first walk put tan here were under epeeial Bylaw. e town paying a of cost, we doing all mikeling. These were the wide mike is e centre where there was a lot of filling do. We use German cement, Our elks are inside the treee as our streets a only 8 rade wide, too narrow to admit thole going outside. We are working der a By -taw passed by the Council ly and not a general Bylaw voted on the people. This compels us to pay e town share in Dash each year. If ur By-law carries you will be able to try town share over 20 years which is en m advantage." Mr. Binning very dly enclosed epoaifications, agreement meaua, need in L' ti , , e ed 1s owel, Reeve Carling, of Exeter, in responee a letter from the Reeve gays 1- ."We is o - of s- nit he lk er io 7 at he of er is m- be d er 2 st n s. b 5 d r- 0 5, n e ow r•y s e 0 P m .d P d bh ea co b $0 w in w be 00 w Bas to do th 51 th bo w ar of uu on by bio yo ea oft kin 500 leave about 80 rods of granolbtllio walk put dosvn by petition of the majority of the rateyayore frouting on the walls who pay 9 of the total cost in equal .costal. manta covering a period of 10 years. We passed a By.law to that ell'eat, but did nob submit it to the people. Walk cost us 17i cents per foot and has boon down now 4 years and is just as good as the day it went down. Of course the same walk could bo put down now ouch cheaper." Experiences from numerous other cities, towns and villages could be cited but enough is already published to prove the reliability of the work done and the satisfaction given in theee planes, hence it is no longer au experiment but au up- bo•eiato business transaction of paramount importance to every ratepayer in Brus- sels. For the sake of the small amount that would bo necessary to collect from the ordinary frontage each year during the 15 or 20 years to come no person should record hie vote agaiust the By. law and thereby bar the beet way to permanent improvements. Co -Operative A.grieulture, Over twenty eight hundred Ontario farmers have received material and in- structions for conducting tests upon their own farms during the preeeut season. These include young Hien who have at- tended the Agricultural College, success- ful and paiusbaking farmers who have experimented previously, and others who are undertaking the work for the first time. About two thousand experimenters have conducted satisfactory experimental work within the past ten years. Of this number over two hundred have furnished good reports for at least three different years and some for five, six, and even nine years. These little experiment stations form object lessons in nearly every neighborhood in the province, the influence of which can never be correctly estimated. To give some idea of this in- fluence, I quote etbe following from re- ports sent in by experimenters : "I get much benefit from my experi- ments and my plots are visited by most of my neighbors every year." "As a result of my experiments I raise more bushels to the sore and make more money on my farm," Looking at it from a financial point of view, my neighbors have received benefit from my experimental work to the amount of a good many hundred dollars." This system of co operative experi- mental work in agriculture, whioh centers at the Agricultural College and operates through the medium of the Experimental Union, is being enlarged and improved from year to year. A study of the fertil. iby of the soil on different farms, and of the relative merits of promising varieties of agricultural crops for different sections, are the main subjects under experiment on about twelve thousand plots this year. There are in allnineteen distinct experi- ments, which embrace the agricultural crops grown on about nine -tenths of the cultivated land of Ontario. The demand has been greatest for experiments with oats, Spring wheat, peas, corn and man - gels. We could still furnish a number of ap- plicants with a package of each of sic: leading varieties of corn, which forma a valuable test for farmers who are anxious to ascertain whioh varieties of corn are best adapted to the soil of their own par. Hauler farms. C. A. ZAvirz, Director, Agricultural College, Guelph, April 30th, 1808. Gold Brick Swindle. J. D. Moore, a prosperous busiuess man of St. Mary's, was swindled out of $0000 at Sarnia one night recently; by' a gold bricks sobeme. One week ago a stranger giving the name of David Brown called on Moore and interested him in a gold mine in Arizona. Moore was induced to come to Sarnia end look at samples which were in the possession of Brown's partner, a Mexican. Moore was taken to the camp of the Mexican, two miles out of the city. Ile looked at the brieke, and together with Brown, came into Sarnia to have them assayed. Another con- federate was at the Belohamber hotel in the person of a United States assayer. After considerable talk he asssyed the bricks and stamped U. S. 20 karat tine. Moore was not satisfied and went back to the camp, where he was allowed to take some of the fillings to be tested. The fillinge were pronounced genuine by a Sarnia jeweler, and Moore drew $19,000 in bills. He bought the bricks, which were supposed to be worth $20,000, Later tilt jeweller pronounced the bricks oopper and Moore made a complaint to the police, Provincial Detective Griffin is on the trail of the swindlers.
