benefits to the people at large would be incalculable thursday morning november 13 1924 editorial j a sane movement improve fire protection and reduce insurance rates acton is supplied with the best possible watcr- fei works system for domestic purposes and a satisfac- j tory equipment for the ordinary fires of a small town our water is chemically pure and the supply ample for years to come to meet the natural growth k of a progressive town such as this r recent fire at the beard mo re tanneries demon strated however that in case of a conflagration where longcontinued pumping would be necessary continuing for half a day or more at such a fire our tank and reservoir bavo limitations which should be augmented a solution of this difficulty is fortunately avail- jrtawe at a very reasonable expense messrs beard jmore co have installed in their premises both f electric and steam fire pumps of largo capacity and ithey have the unfailing volume of fairy lake behind tfeera with an unlimited supply of water conveyed bto these pumps by gravitation this firm is very naturally interested in having our fire protection im- gproved inasmuch as id addition to their large works rind theip commodious warehouses at the canadian national railway station they own eightseven dwell- tnghoiises scattered throughout the town and they nay onefifth of all the taxes collected in the town ktbcy have made a very generous proposal it is this f jf the municipality will extend the eight inch water- works main on john street from agnes street south easterly a distance of 215 feet to their pumps con- nection will be made thereto and the town will then i behave the advantage in a case of a disastrous fire of yheir electric and steam pumping plant and an uq- quilted supply of water continuously at command the water in fairy lake is spring water the j source being springs in the third concession just a vinh and a half away and it is therefore as good as uthe average water supply of the small town but in order to avoid any possible danger of contamination of the pure water supplied by our waterworks a ilorinating system of the most improved type will fbc installed to chlorinate all water passing from fairy lajce into our mains in case of it being required for bghtidg a urge fire the chlorinating system would erate on the water passing into our mains only swfcen a large fire is in progress immediately after the fire the cblorination would cease the valvo being closed and locked and within two hours all the turpi us chlorinated water will havo passed out of our mains this system has the unqualified approval of tbe provincial board of health for farther protection of the tannery premises itbe constant operation of which is so vital to our towns success it is proposed to make a further exj tension of our waterworks system by laying an eight- ffocfa ipain from main street into the tannery premises to t point on the line of the main siding of the canadian national railway on the property it will v surprise many to know that there is not at present fc ahydrant nor main conveniently situated for fire infighting in case of a fire in these large works ejt it is estimated that the waterworks extension from gjjohn street to the bear dm ore pumps with necessary ttvjiydranu connections and the chlorinating system complete wjh cost 2q00 in fact the company an tees its installation for that figure and if the s cost he less the town will get the benefit of the reduced amount the cost of the extension of the mains into the beardmore property is estimated by f the engineer at 3500 and this is tho amount asked for in the bylaw j the consummation of these plans will place acton fin a much better position with the fire underwriters g association our pressure would bo much higher and absolutely continuous and a considerable reduction jn insurance rates would without doubt follow it is estimated that the reduction in insurance rates which jv may reasonably bo expected will reach a far larger g sum to the in of the town than any increase in taxation neceasajy to moot the debentures issued tj cover the cost of the extensions proposed tv that the bylaws introduced by the council cov- tf erlng the above proposals and which are to be sub- mitted to the electors at the annual municipal clec- tions on the 1st december commend themselves to the people of acton was amply manifested at a meet- ingot the acton chamber of commerce last thurs- day evening there was a largo attendance of busi ness meitand jeadlng citizens present after a f thorough discupsion of the matter with technical explanations by municipal clerk farmer and infor- matlon by mr n hgardenrof the beardmore cetn- fjt pany and by fire chief mcdonald the members v- preset t signlflpd their endorsement of the ac hemes by a unanimous vote of approval and passed a reso- lutlon requesting the council to call a mooting of jqlcctors where tho matter may bo full elucidated so rythafall may have an intelligent grasp of the situation making the highways safe for all everything that can possibly bo done to make the roads safer for travel and especially for night- travel for nil vehicles shoyld be done even if most people arc willing to take chances of being spilled into the ditch by a passing car that has come suddenly upon them in tho dark or on a foggy pight they should not be permitted to add to tbc risks of rravcf to save the small expenso ofnpjjoviding lights for their fiorscrawn vehicles the wardens of the counties in okuofo were in conference recently with tho provincialttbgislaturc and it has been agreed to advocate legislation providing that all veh clcs using tho highways at night shall carry lights this should not require to bo advocated it is so evidently fair and indeed necessary that the legislature should take it up even if tho government dqcs not introduce a bill it has been factootjong delayed there is no argument that can be advanced for requiring motor vehicles to carry lights that docs not equally apply to all vehicles indeed it would be well at the same time to impose a heavy penalty upon anyone allowing cattle or sheep to run at large at night they have always been a nuisance and something of a menace to night drivers even before tho days of automobiles but much more since iv l a glimpse at british politics british politics as manifested in an election cam paign such as that recently held in great britain have many features interesting to those who are outside und looking on in the election after the defeat of ramsay macdonolds government sir harry brittain a conservative who had been the representative for acton burrough was opposed by three other candidates a liberal a socialist and an independent on the hustings the candidates in this burrough as elsewhere were heckled mercilessly during their speeches respecting this phase of the campaign tho acton express said most candidates will admire or envy the atti tude of sir harr brittain who while answering questions so far as he or anyone can of vital import has resolved courteously to ignore the others by giving the general answer that he de clines to pledge himself on matters outside the recognized programme to which he stands com mitted in other words he prefers to be a representative on what is of paramount impor tance rather than a delegate on sectional de cisions of 101 minor points the average parlia mentarian should enjoy tho right of listening to j arguments on antivaccination the stone of destiny the importation of ijoneysfrom spain better orotegtion or fortunetellers tt general suppression of sunday trading the painless ex tinction of brewers and so forth when they come before the house and of voting in accordance with his ppened judgment if sir harry bri tains example were- followed it would con siderably lessen th9 nuisance nowsuffered by candidates and their agents his attitude if it makes any difference at all to the net result will probably tell in his favor amongst the general public tho questioners preconceived political ideals are generally revealed by the tenor of their literature and when they -come- to the ballotbox they vote for their party candidate whatever replies they may have received to relieve their anxiety on side isucs jt is interesting that sir harry was
