' No 'appointment to' public office in recent years has met with more general approval than the seleeting of the eminent British railwayman as presi- dent of -tha 22,000 .mile publicly-owned system. The Reformer has yet to find one paper in the country, no. matter of what shade of politics, that has a word to say against Sir Henry, Delay in the appointing of the new directorate of the C.N.R: was eausing grave doubts as to the ability of the Government to find a suitable man for the presidency. The choice of Sir Henry, how- ever, will do much to inspire that national: feeling that goes far towards bringing national prosperity. Canada's railroads are vital to her success, They unite sparsely settled sections far removed from one another. On their. business administration depends the: possibility of Canadien farmers and Canadian manufacturers competing in the markets of the world.

The réquest was referred to the Town Property Committee, and at the last meeting of the Town Couneil the matter came before all the Town Fathers. While the committee reported against the request, the Council, after seeuring more information, ap- proved the passing of the by-law. The tacking of bills on either hydro or phone poles is dangerous to the linemen. Some posts around town have hundreds of tacks in them. When a lineman has occasion to climb such a pole: he not only has difficulty in getting his climbers to work, but: he runs the danger of tearing his hand ona musty tack. In the cause of safety posting of bills. on such poles should mot be allowed. There is another reason why Council showed wis- dom in agreeing to enact the requested by-law. That is from the standpoint of beautifying the town. | The reguest of the Bell and Hydro managers might have been supported by dezems of vesidemts who Dempsey is appearing in Toronto this week. in vaudeville.
