We, at the Nursery, try ta keep our trontage and lands, as attractive as possible, and have received many fine comments regarding the sanie.

Would you dump your garbage at your front door, and what do you thing that Matai,- ists wilh say as they hold their nases whiie passing Bowman- ville, as many o! us do on aur way to Toronto, when we pass a certain Public Utility?

We have had experience with rat infestation before and be- lieve me, it is most dam*aging to Our crops, and now, ta think thase in. charge o! our Town, have decided te hand us this Probhem ail over again! Rats in our Sterage Cellar can do veryV considerable damage and that dlamage will not be noticed un- tl Spring when we are about to shiu our Stock. Then, we find te aur diamay and coin- plete tinancial loss, that the Shrubs have been girdled by rats which enter into the Build- ing and remain unnoticed be- cause they become active only at night when the place is not occupied. Our experiencé has shown :luat rats aise do considerable damage durin-g the Winter nonths in the fields, especially to Evergreens. Dead Industry In brie!, we wish ta advise you that we are certain that if aDump la established at the proposed location, as mention- ed above, and if it becomes in- festied with rats, which it is bound te do regardless of how well it is policed, aur Industry will be another that ceases te exist I this Town. Frankhy, I can symipathize with those Folks who live near u'here the presenit Dump la la- cated, and as a former Member Df Council, 1 always advocated Lhat the Dump be removed to an area where it wouldn't af- fct either Householders or In- ustry.
