a rather unenviable position the provincial board of health has order ed the town to construct a waterworks system and to commence the work this week at a meeting of the council last friday a resolution was passed gj against construction the mayor voting with the fc jpajonty the penalty for refusal is 100 per day fcr the forest free press has for several years advo- urcated strongly tho waterworks system as a utility of great valuo to tho town- the refusal of the coun- f h to take the advice will be costly to the town collecting nil the municipal taxe yearly last year wiarton council turned over its unpaid taxes to an outside agent for collection and the results were so satisfactory that this years council is following the same plan though two local men offered to undertake the work for considerably less than the shoo chaged by the outside agency any town that can keep its taxes well paid up for an annual expenditure of 400 is making an exceedingly good bargain walkcrton telescope acton surely must have made- good bargains in the selection of her tax collectors for the past quarter century year after year each successive collector ho been able to return his roll with practically all taxes paid in full in tho year 1021 for instance tho auditors reported the sum of 32 00 uncollected from 1 920 r and thus it has gone from year to year two features adopted by our municipal council have contributed to this result the payment of taxes in instalments and the penalty clause of 5 per cent added to the taxes for nonpayment of the instalments on the due dates to accomplish this of course requires vigilanco on the part of the collectors and the impartial imposing of the penalty where default in payment has occurred some towns report very saatis factory results

who will be surprised to learn fjjbtt the consequences to them may be for having ny part in such unseemly and wicked offences the criminal code of canada says every one is guilty pt jan indictable

town which it may be said is hardly yet fully installed is earning revenues which will eventually meet in large measure the debentures issued to cover the cost of their construction the auditors report shows that tho revenues last year aggregated 378304 while tho cost of operation and maintcn- v ance was 2172 m this leaves 1610 so to be ap- plied on debentures and interest for the year but the financial returns is tho least important feature r tbo possession of an adequate waterworks system gtmn the town first and most important is the stand- ijk poiqt of improved health and sanitary conditions jpiaecured with our splendid water proven by com- wv potent analysis to bo pure und wholesome and abso glutei y free from any bacilli contamination so com- 2 inon with well water we have much to be thankful for as a municipality in tho western town of forest j of about the same si to as acton where well water is 5 wholly depended upon tho provincial board of jfr health has stepped in and ordered that a system of waterworks be installed o as to secure improved sfiealthy and sanitary conditions from the standpoint f of economics the protection against catastrophe from area is also highly important when the installation uof i waterworks system was brst discussed there was some opposition offered owing to the very con r j dor bio cost of construction today however no lvhl3per of objection is- heard on this score and our x cjtfxens generally are proud that as a town we havo ra modern uptodate waterworks system giving vvabtin dance yf puro spring water the feeling of so scurity

remain in the town one year 200 will be refunded the balance of tho 50 to be kept for taxes no licenses will be issued for salo of claptrap articles on street corners this seems like a very equitable plan for all concerned those who point to violations of tho ontario tem perance act to prove its failure altogether overlook the fact that tho old license lows were openly violat ed violation of law is no new thing in the matter of liquor control it seems to bo a part of tho traffic then in the matter of drunkenness who would sug gest for a moment that conditions under the old license law were better than today picton gazette a simple little ballad gives quebecs definition of when a person is intoxicated v ho is not drunk who from tho floor can rise and take just ono drink more but he is drunk who prostrate lics and neither more can drink or rise and upon this basis the provincial statistics ere complied as to the number of drunks in the province under government control abraham
