We feel that at any future time when necessary to consider any public improvement of any great importance we should first put such question to a vote of the people. In regard to any extension of the water mains in our village, we feel that is entirely the business of those effected by such extension, vis., it' a majority of property owners on any street wish the water extended on that street at a certain estimated price they should have it, but in no cmte will we impose such extension on them against their will, as has twice been attempted by the present board of local improvements. We favor any ordinary expenditure which will beautify or improve our village when such expense is not beyond the resources of our town. Furthermore, in the renomination of the present president of the village council by those who favor further burdens on our people, we feel that a gcevious mistake has been made, as is well known such nomination is a violation of a sacred agreement entered into years ago i>y our people that the presidency should alternate every two years between the east and .west sides of our town; and according to which agreement the West Sidp is now entitled. We believe such agreement as now broken by a small coterie of our peope to be promotive of discord and aniiposity in our midst and not in any sense furthering that Jiarmony which we implore may prevail amonget as.

With it the farmer is relieved of the hard worn; because he caa take advantage of the weather in preparing his seed bed; he can do it at ,r- the right time; the same is true when it comes to harvesting. It solves, t0'; ; • great extent, the problem of scarcity of labor. *- • . , With it* wonderful, reliable power, it brings to the farm home all thf^ ^ conveniences, in the way of running water in the house; electric lights^' * ^ operation of the washing machine, churning, separating the cream froi|^ ? the milk; it assumes and takes to itself the drudgery of farm life both i|L * /"the field and in the house and it is only a matter of a few years until it wil^ - - be as universal in its service on the farm as is the farmer himself.
