This ineans the on].% officiai inforniation the citizetîs will have is tIse vers- brief sum- mary of the five by-iaws contained in the Election Proclamation posted on biliboards and ini stores. and the complete details of the se called Baud BY-Law new appearing in The Statesmnani. Wisv the electors shouid be kcpt in sucli ig-neratîce of the facts is hard te nnderstand. If the Mayor auîd Ceuncillors take it for graîîted citizexîs are as famliliar with these questions as tliey are tiîey are sadly mis- takeni. It reininds ns of the stbry of the twe levers who did tîjeir courting ini the parler iwith the liglîts ont. Tlîey ktîew what wvas goiîîg on1 but no one else did. We're ail for the levers. becauseit ivas no- lîedy-'s businîess but their owtî. but with b:e- laws and *tow'n business every ratepayer shouid be infornîed of the facts se that they may vote inteiiigently at the polis. As a matter of fact, other than the Band By-Law, the other four eau hardiy bie terni- ed by-laws at ail. They are merely ques- tions being asked. In other words a 'straw vote' is being submitted te the elec-tors for their opinions. With such lack of information coming fro.m coutîcil many- requests have ceme te us the past week fromn citizens asking, us te discnss these by-laws in1 our editoriai coi- umns. We are glad te compiy with these requests as we have some definite views on each qnestion; we are net afraîd te express them; nieither do we ask yodte agree with us. We wliiigiadiy answer any qnestions pertaining te by-iaws if submitted in writ- ing and signed by the writer. -Wc aise in- vite citizens te write their own opinions on these by-laws which wiil bie published under "The Voice of the Peope"' headingy in f uture issues. The Band By-Law "Are you in favor of the establiuhment of a fund of $1,000.00 to be raised annually by a levy in the general tax rate, for the support and aid of a Band to be known as The Bowmanville Town Band?" This by-iaw was voted ou by the peeple at the iast electioti and carried, but due te a technicality the by-law was net put into effeet by this.year's counsil. Therefore a new petition, sigsîed by reqnired number of ratepayers, w'as snbymitted te council asking that another by-law be submitted. Full particulars cf the Band By-Law appear iii this issue se we need siet diseuss its detaîls here. However, w'e tentend the request cf the band is a just and fair ene. Few organiz- ations tensd te develop a community spirit equal te a band, and a baud lias become almost a publie utiiity in any community. Certain aspects of the baîsd's case must be known if tise by-law is te have the public support it deserves. Iu the first place it must be remembered that ne individuai member cf the band will benefit personaily from the grant other than the Bandmaster who is net a resident cf the tewn, and who flot oniy trains the aduit bandginen but is coaching a class cf jtunior players, seme cf whom are aiready regular members cf the band. As in the past tise landsmen wiil give their services gratis, and that term mearus mnore than it weuld appear te mean on the surface. Tt means more than the many pub- lic appearances that the baud will make. t includes the many heurs cf greup and individuai practice which of necessity must precede public appearances. The Legion Band is a comimunity-minded, unselfish or- ganization, bent on previding a needed ser- vice for the municipality. It lias been said that a musically inclined people are a iaw abiding people, and that is more than a mere platitude. The baud is isot asking for publie support %vithotît offering v ýaluse in returu. The band proposes te preselit fer the people cf Bow- nianvilie band eomeerts ecdi year, and iu addition effers te tîtru ent for engagements for local ergauizatietis ret)sirîng tise land 's services. The banid further plans te tursi out at any ts.me the tewui coîsucil desires its services for municipal occasions, sucli as Rememberance Day and other observances. In brief. the tewn is offpred a real value ini i'etili'ui foi' an annual .rrant wvli w'eusvid]( amonnt te approximately 80ev pet' capita of the populatien. 'W'e have sino sian'in rccotnniesîding, our citizens P, \oe( YES fou' lise Baud By-Law. "Are you in favor of the employment of a full time Nurse for the Town of Bow- manvilie?"
