ORONO WEEKLY TIMES Letters to the Editor What a howl was kept up aibout the Tannery sidewalk. Well:,- we got it, and what do you think of it since this laslt sniDW storm ? 'Lae* Sunday it was a disgrace. Same /thing happened happened at Cob Hill to the sidewalk up there. Go up and have à look at it. We have lots of young fellows who would be g-lacl of a job keeping the sidewalks ; clean for some of the older : .peapjle going 1 to eluivvli for a small in munera'ior (we are:: speaking of the Tani.ii'y bridge now). Do our Police, Trustees think, the job; is finished finished when they built it or what ? RATEPAYER our worries to ho ovei Then we have the cc are left, the say will 1: -umciillors that e theirs. We might ask--has our council ever had a road policy. We ih old lady said patch be neighborly, but patch i beggarly. The latter : Ink not. The side patch is :cpO!n ; patch is ('presents our road maintenance, Hub - there (ever Monday next being nomination day for Clarke Municipal Council, the town hall will be taxed to capacity by the . ratepayers who desire to,.-- listen to the powers' of oratory emanating from the members of the council who ha ve had the privilege of occupying occupying their respective positions'; for the year 1937. The Reetve and Deputy Reeve will explain how well they have tried to represent the ratepayers at County Council, setting forth the' costs to- maintain laiw arid order, upkeep of munid-].a,: buildings, roads: and bridges, bridges, etc, which will make a very fine story, yet how much comes back to cmr township out of the $26,000 the treasurer forwards every year ? Very little, is reguired for law and order here, the buildings, are all: in the town -of Cohourg where, if any benefit benefit goes to any one, they would be sure to get it. And our roads and bridges, ju iff to bad to mention them, So rdfei frenSKendial to Newton ville was gravelled this year far which those who travel that way will be tthankful, hut. what of the road front Ordno north, dit, never was in suich a condition in,.its history. One of the worst spots was,; in front of R. 8. Oornfortli's /property. With a gravel pile not five rods from there, covered covered over with weeds and such like, and yet not one' dollar for its removal to some .place of use. The ratepayers along this road are loud in their criticism of the work of the county road maintainor this- last year. Its management is not to be compared with former.years, but as this road is In bo taken over as a .Provincial highway, so we are told, we look for been one rod of new r ed in the Hast ten yea the new road' down h 'Dad coustl'uot- rs outside of Mr. Wade's, which represents a canal, more than a road, or has the much talked of stone crusher ever been in the wes half of the township since it was born and, baptized '( 'Does it not de- nmnicipality ? today as they 1 h : r Arc the asi ; they were collection- of res-'ive as you serve to serve all flu Are. the roads as good wore under statute bridges as good today ten years ago j Is tin arrears of taxes as ngg would like ? Or do you think you would or could have clone better had you been, one of the administrators ? W-e must confess our present council council have refrained from going into debt, or borrowing mon money.

We boli'eve the present council has done the very best they could with what they have had to work with. Every year there is a lot of new as-, pi rant f for the position, with very little, thought to what its response bill ties represent. Once elected you become the administrator and eus todian.of the ratepayer's money. How you spent it and what you spend it on will give an account of your stewardship. It becomes a different position when in, rather. than out. Some timees those who can throw the most stones' would make a poor fist of management. Some would have . it domina led with party politics, which would he the last straw, as represen tatilves are elected to serve all the ratepayers with equal rights to all and special privileges t 0 none.
