'Pneumonia, developing after an op- eration, on Saturady clammed the life of Glen McQueen, provincial traffic officer, in the Chatham General Hos- pital. Deceased, who was twenty -mine years of age, was stationed alt Tilbury. He entered the hospital about two creeks ago and was thought to have been recovering when pneumonia set in. 'IIe was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McQueen of Courtright, and married only a few months ago. He leaves his .wife, formerly Frances May Gordon -,Kay, daughter of Mr, . and Mrs. J. Gordon4Kay, of Tilbury. Prior to going to Tilbury two years ago he was stationed at Jarvis, Sim- coc and Mitchell, and patr'ol'led the .provincial highway as far west as Goderich, TOWN DRAINAGE. To whom it may concern,' in the Town of Seaforth, the rules have been, that when a'.ri4tepayer wishes to tap a town dram to drain his, or her cellar, they should consult the street com- mittee for the use of the drain; or if the drain gets choked up, they are to find the outlet at their own expense. This rule has always been adhered to in order to avoid making a precedent, but h seems an injustice where the town drain is obstructed that, the rate- payer should have all the expense to pay. The town really „s'hou'ld have a sewage system and not have so many cellar's flooded, but what about keep= ing the taxes and, have all the 'con yeniences? I think we will 'have to grin and beer it.
