will solve it with credit to themselves at the same lime showio the scott act to he an ultimste success arbor day we hare several limes referred to the propriety and importance of hating a day specially appointed each year by the reeve of this municipality when oar alliens would be expected to de tote a portion of the day at least in planting tree ta beautify our little town this practice is being adopted by quite a number of lo wos and villages in the province and the result is thai the streets and lanes are nude beautiful and at no expense to the public ex chequer we would recommend that upon a certain day every citizen of acton in fact we would gladly tee jibe good wort extended throughout the whole county plant at least one tree many property owners would nn doubt plant a large number but if every citixen would plant one and con- finue the practice from year to year the benefit would be incalculable our tillages would be beautified by rows of frees on every street except perhaps the business center and even the gar dens might be surrounded with adran tage provided of course that they were not planted so thickly as o cause too much shade the free press would like lo lee a line of trees along every farm and along the edges of every field believing that the labor thus expended would return tenfold in the quality of the land and in increased crops were this done it would not be necessary to preserve large patches of timber u our country would then be all forest and yet til cultivated wvhepe the eilfieoa of acton will tike an interest in this matter and show their interest by each planting a tree j acton tillage council council met tin tuesday evening present mr c 8 smith reeve in the chair and messrs il speight and paul jarvis minutes of last meeting
