That amount is spent in road material ano nothing is said about it, or the money may go to pay for hydro power or fuel foi the town hall, and there ;s no comment. Some will arsue that elections are unnecessary. They can be dispensed with, but at the same time could be wisely held. The more municipal matters are brought before the ratepayers, the more better-quali- fied men will occupy the teats at the council board. Only men who know the municipal business well can sit con\fortably in office. Through timid- ity or a wish to cause no unneces- sary flurry, well qualified candidates may not stand fc election when there are others, probably not as well quali- fied, willing to take office, just be- cause the general public has the idea that e'ections are costly when they really are not. Municipal elections «Jouj, not cost; they payâ€" Dundalk HeraldL :r I Mri ' chell. Mrs. Little of Owen Sound proposed the toast to Grey Chapter, No. 170, and was responded to by â-  Bro.
