queb division of the cjfn a t the editors corner we still like voting mayor gjbbons drew hltle nuppott frorn fellow councillors or taxpayers at tilt nomination meeting in his opposition to floating an f80000 waterworks de benture without tie proper procedure of a vote of the taxpayers several speakers voiced their belief that the expenditure was necessary and sidestepped the voting issue altogether reeve maclarcn stated that supposing the question wai submitted and the voters turned it down then a serious incident occurred coun cil would be to blame for not adopting the plan this reasoning is to us completely backward it infers that council is afraid that the taxpayers would turn down the plan and through this inference treats this same taxpayer as a little boy who has not the ability to judge for himself it is a dictatorial attitude which should have no place in democratic municipal affairs the issue is a simple one we an confronted with a major expenditure for what in the eyes of the maj ority of council is an exceedingly necessary improve merit in the town water system it is proper then for council to ask the taxpayers to sanction such an ex penditure and if council collectively or individually believe it is vitally important to acquaint the public with all the relevant facts and urge collectively or in dividually as the case may be that n overwhelming mandate be given to spend the raont which after all is the taxpayers money a disturbing aspect is the express d belief of sev eral councillors that by some mysterious mans we are going to spend wo 000 yet no one is going to pay for it it is true that the waterworks plm as outlined in the engineer s report will not result in a definite charge on the tax rate it is cciinlly true that the 80000 must be paid for by thesr same taxpayers over a period of cars in the form of increased water rates and will mean more money out of each of our pocketbooks which amounts to th sam thing as taxes x t have still not reached tint vjtopia where a benevolent providence provides us with anything with out it being paid for and never expect we shall it is to be hoped that the i council t ven though it will be in essence the present council may reconsider the question and call a vote be fore further action is taken only in this way will it be known once- and for all whether tin pi oplc want unproved water service enough to ix willing to pay for it please no mr davidson i he suggestion by councillor ccil davidson at friday s nomination meeting that parking meters might be introduced on main stret js something which we hope will never reach more than the discus sion atag we often speak about georgetown as a growing and progressive town but this is one gadget of this modern age which georgetown can well do without i his column looks with disfavour even on the present restriction of two hour parking which we believe is more inconvenient than it is worth its orig inal supporters in council had one eve on the revenue aspect of the idea but the town realises not a cent from fines imposed all of which go to other sources and even if we were to get 100 per cent it would still be a very minor item in the budget amounting to ten or fifteen dollars in a month hie only concrete im provement in relieving main street parking conges tion has been to encourage merchants to park their cars on mill and wesleyan streets which while taking these vehicles off main street proper still contributes to overcrowding the downtown parking section a more sensible solution would be to proceed with some plan of providing a parking lot in the downtown dib trict if not for the general pubic at least for the merch ants who use the streets constantly for parking this idea was proposed m a recent beef column by a con tributor and is worth discussing by the tpwn council parking meters on main street could only result in permanent damage to the only one they would be designed to help the merchant fruternity shoppers particularly those from rural areas are sufficiently an- noyed with the present inconveniences and this might be a crowning blow to force many of them to shop in other neighbouring centres where there is more free dom it is true that brampton has parking meters but we must remember that brampton is a town over twice our size with its mum street on a provincial highway and with free parking facilities provided close to downtown for thqee who ire parking for a lengthy period of time whats your beef7 thig weeks beef is contributed by lmotypist lm clark who after setting other

left by the sewerage construe tion company could spend an hour or two rectifying the damage themselves hiere arc many spots in town where hall an hour with a shov i would r move accumulated dirt or
