1925 jeditorial i the federal election in halton it is now being very generally felt that the elec tion in this county at the general elections for the house of commons on the 29th of- october will be one of the very keenest that has been fought in this riding inmany decades dr r k anderson of milton who has been the representative for the county in the past two parliaments is again the choiceof the conservative party his opponent- as has already been announced is mr duncan camp bell of moffatt who is tne unanimous choice of the liberals of halton if is many years since a liberal candidate was chosen to contest the riding so well known throughout the county as is mr campbell he is a successful business man on a large scale throughout the riding and bears a reputation for sterling honesty and integrity in all his transactions which have been largely among the farming com munity mr campbells laudable effort to introduce pure bred and high class stock in halton has borne salutary results many farmers have been encourag ed to improve their herds and better cattle are found on the farms throughout the county as a conse quence when a member of th county council mr campbell proved

to accept per petual plan contributions for fairview cemetery without having made any intelligent estimate as to the actual cost of performing whatsis tactily agreed upon to accomplish it is manifestly certain that 50 as a principal payment will not adequately ensure satisfactory perpetual care this system will realize an annual income of but 150 or 200 whereas it has been proven that cemeteries under the perpetual care system required an annual expenditure of 300 to 400 per plot by the acceptance of a number of payments for the perpetual care of plots the council hat in effect adopted the plan of perpetual care it is a plain duty now before the cemetery committee to prepare a estimate of the cost of the work undertaken and have such estimates confirmed and passed by the council and filed for future reference and action is is also reasonably expected that the council will prepare an agree ment or undertaking properly executed and supplied to each contributor to the perpetual care fund stat ing explicity what service is to be rendered in re turn for the payment made com connlngton pupil of dorothy cubbon 11 pur k-road- north acton pun uod tho primary division in
