Strange that so many people entertain the idea that anything will do in the way of glasses. Using Using improper or defective lenses, they IMAGINE they sëe well, or-if aware that their dicision is below par, think it impossible to improve their sight. We have many such persons fall into our hands, who almost imagine we have wrought a miracle by simply placing a piece of glass before their eyes that entirely restores impaired or failing failing vision. They have failed to get such vision before simply because they have never had their eyes SCIENTIFICALLY examined or properly fitted. R. M. Mitchell & Co.

Percy said the Engineer's Report had just been handed to him so. he only gave a summary of the accounts; to the Waterworks & Sewage Com. to report at next meeting. Coun. Tole asked if report would lie on desk for the council to see ? Coun. Percy answered emphatically "No we have never looked over these accounts." Coun. Cornish-thought the detailed expenditure expenditure should be read in council and not just a summary. Mayor said that the report was property of W. & S. Com. till it reported on same, then it became public public property. From the way this information is being held from the citizens one would almost think the Mayor and Finance Minister were afraid to let the Engineer give his report until it was censored by them Why not buy a seal and have all reports and resolutions stamped by "The boss" before a councillor or town official is allowed allowed to make same public? Finance Report Held Up Several items in the Finance Report brought forth considerable discussion before before being adopted. First, the Dr's bill re Pooley claim for damages was shifted from Poor Relief to Roads & Streets and finally to Contingent account. Evidently no chairman of a committee wants this account included in his estimates. Then the'item for installing installing new fire alarm system was discussed. Cameron's bill was $27 over his contract price, being $327, and added to this was $130 for material which the town supplied. supplied. Most of the councillors were under under the impression that $300 was the contract contract price for the complete-job. Reeve Tait promised to bring in f a report next meeting showing that the $457 was wel spent. $2 for livery by engineer, came next. Coun. Tole cleared jup this account • by stating that "We Can't'afford to allow him t o walk." Coun. Cornish is still to be convinced, tho, that,an engineer- in charge of waterworks, sewage; roads and streets is preferable to a working".Street Commissioner Commissioner as far as roads and streets are concerned, economically speaking. When Coun. Percy said "You have two law suits thru his (Commissioner's) neglect", he thot that was sufficient proof to leave it with the-engineer.
