hopethe council will pro ceed in the same laudable work this year proclaim the usual ai bor day secure three or four hundred s litable trees and appoint committee to superintend the distribution and

secure its more strict enforcement we are also given to under itand that at the meeting of acton cou icil next tuesday evening a resolution dian letricuy opposite to miltons will be passed notes lnd comments the new fifork canada be boycotl find that there is caught under iheir r v m i m i milton oouncilfs resolu- tlolf at a meeting of the municipal council of the town of milton last week it was re solved by a vote of seveif to three to peti- tion the dominion govejrnment for the re peal of the scott act and this fact has already been jubilantly paraded througout the length and breadth of the land by those journals which have made it their business 1 io oppose every scheme but forth to effect a proper enforcement of the act and by sympathizers of the liqi or traffic generally many people outside t le county will no doubt be considerably surprised at the action of milton couilcil in passing tho resolution referred to wl th such a majority j of the councillors in its favor but to us and to residents general ly of the county neither is the resolutdoi nor the vote re specting it a surprise it is a well known fact that the opponent of the scott act i made an unnsual effort at the last muni cipal elections in that t jwd to elect a foil council of antd scott si pporters in this owing to systematic and persistent labors they were largely successful- and it was an open boast with them jn fact one or both of the newspapers of the town opposed to the act claimed that ctnly one of the eleven members of the council elected was a scott act man the passing of this re- solution is then only the accomplishment of tie contemplated wor c which these- op ponents of the law werfe specially elected to perform and instead of the result of the vote being cause for alarm it isa matter for congratulation inasmuch as it has proven that in place of there being only one seott aot member in the council as previously boasted there are now three good mn who are not ashamed to stand up boldly for what they believe to be right in the face of the strong opposition encountered sat the regulation of the hilton council is net in any sense a representative one- as far aa the county is concerned acton council is ready and willing if it is deem- j ed necessary to pass a resolution equally strong and outspoken in favor of the act with a feurfifths majority if not by a unanimous vote and we have no doubt other municipal councils in the county would act in similar manner if it was con- sidered necessary to dp so we are forced to admit however that the scott act has tjeen much more satisfactorily observed in acton and other municipalities than in milton and that in consequence these places enjoy a superior reputation for order respectability i iand morality we are sorry indeed for our sister town ihat toe comparison is so odioss but it is never theless a fact that milton is no more a re- presentative town as far as the success of tiie scott act is eionoerried than thait its town councils resolution is representative r of the convictions of the people of the county concerning thd buccesb of the act we regretto twnkljiaa it is really the case but we have it upon the best of atiiority that the veary men who voted in favor of the above resolution and other restdentsin authority jandourjyii bigb ifions are toaiery large extent indeed lsppnuhle not herald suggests that

that the editor of the herald is somewhat acquainted with certain councillors who have for years followed the iiabit ototing sum3 of money to themselven for attending to the ordinary business of the council of which they are members it wouldcertainly be a strahge thing if the members of a municipal coun cil were obliged to defend the municipality they might happen to represent at their own
