It is very doubtful if any pre . fýas Iown Lcouncil bas bad to deaI witlh more per- 1piexing problems- Iban the present, and unfortunately there are a :few citizens wbo instead of lending a helig baud or giving a word of encourageni-lnrt are more ready to offer -adverse ,i *tici.-in and in- sinuate nasty things. Tbank goodness they are not numerous, but the unind re- marks tbey'tuake reach the ears of È-ose of wbom they îalk so glibly and unrýeason,- a bly' , an-d somne members are sufficiently sensýitive to feel huriit.

One problem this year's Council lias bad to grapple with is the spur line and freigbit station up town.- This is a legacy left over by last year's council aud lbas taken more than a little time and thougbt. Grand Truuk officiaIs bave been willing to boild the spur but would nut yield to the demand for a terminal station and would not agree to delivery of package freight or lesser quantities than car-load lots. That arrangement would be of very iimited service and the' present council plumply refused to give the required land for ri' gbt of way on any sucli terms. Finally, after meetings, correspondence and personal interviews, Mr. E. H. Fitz- bugb, First Vice Presidenit of the Grand Trunk Railway. bas notified the Mayor that a switch from station and a package freiglit depot will be built. Tbis necessi- tates large expenditure on the part of the cown for riglit of way from the present station to near tbe Goodyear Works and land for the four or fiye tracks aud freiglit depot, as the Council of last year commit- ted the town to sncb an arrangement. The Goodyear People decided 10 locate their Canadian factory in Bowrnanville on the understanding that a switch would be built to deliver freiglil to and take their, shipments directly fromn their works. 1W'e are taking the liberty of publishing, witb Mayor Mitchell's approval, a para- grapb or two from a letter received from Mr. C. H. Carlisle, Toronto, Manager of Tbe Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., of Canaa, wbo writes- "We are very glad that the <G. T. R.) switch is'going in an 1 that we will gel Ile package depot. 'e had about gotten to the point wbhre we were very mucli dis- couraged wit ou ir arrangements aI B -ow-i mlanville; tsinceO wIe have the assuranÎlice1 0 f rablwa fac0iJi ti e ý ,we s haîl go ablead and enliarge our pmant.

SCOTCH 'AIRS CATCHING. MOaRSON's GOODYEAR OGaCHESTRA SCORED A MUSICAL VICTRoax AT ITS CONCERT. The concert Wednesd ,ay evening in the Opera House under auspices of Morrison's Goodyear Orchestra was spleudidly at- E tended and the program was varied enougb to suit alI tastes. This orchestra bast proved itself in tliis Iowu a public bener .factor; indeed, few entertabuments bu town or nearby country but have been helped by the-goodwill and generous services of tbîs musical organizýation. The-large at- tendance at Ibis entertainment formed a good representation. of their admirers andt wveli-wisbers and ail agree that tbe aud-1 iutnce was well rewarded for their effort t 10o recognize in a small measure the num- erous instances in which tbe orchestra bias offered its services to the public. As- a plea§ing introduction a number of bively selections were rendered previous to the s program proper. Toronto talent furnisb- ed the rest of the program. Miss Annie McKay opened the first and second parts with popular Scotch and Irisb airs tbat always take avelI in Bowmanville. As an accompanist she performed ber duties ex- ceptionally well.' Miss Grace Merry,- elocutionist, had been heard with great, pleasure at two nearby places, but Ibis was ber first aDIpearance bu Ibis town. Her first number "'Ogista, the Indian -Girl" and by request "Danny, the Irish Lad" were mucb enjoyed. Other pleasing numbers were "Young Lochinvar" "Scein' Tbings at Nigbt" "Watching the. Spark- ing" and "A 5 o'clock tea Conversation." Miss Merry gave ber selections in a pleas-t ing manner and on eacb appearance re- ceived bearty applause.
