A $25,000 to aid in the construction of the road. Should the by law carry, the money is to be held in trust until the road is completed and in running order. It will be admitted on all sides that the matter is one of the most import- ant that has been submitted to the decision of our ratepayers for many a day, as upon the decision of the differ- entmunicipalitiesinterested willdepend whether the construction of the line in question will he undetwken or not. Aid by way of bonuses from the muni- cipalities along the route is absolutely necessary in order to give the bonds the requisite standing in the market, and the issue is as we have stated. Of the importance of the construction of this road to the town of Lindsay and the large district tributary to it, it is scarcely necessary to speak. Without an independent competing line of rail~ way the conditions are wanting for the establishment of a first-class market. Railway competiiion means a ready and sufficient car supply, without a guaran- tee of which it is impossible for buyers to give or risk the heat prices. This is a matter of the utmost importance to the town of Lindsay and the large district of which It is the business centre. Competition is the life of trade, and this applies to railway interests as well as to all other busi- ness concerns. In the matter of frieght rates and accomodation, the construc- tion of the road is important to our meachrnts and manufacturers. With- out such competition additional man- ufacturers cannot be prevailed upon to locate here, even with all the other favorable conditions which Lindsay possesses. It is not overstating the case when we say that the future of Lindsay depends upon our securing an indep- endent Competing line of railway. Some $750,000will be spent in the construction of the road, a. very large proportion of which will be spent in the town' and surrounding district. The circulation of such a large sum is The Lindsay, Bobcaygeon and Pontypool Railway. The provisional (I recto s of the L. B. and Pom) pcol Railway company have set the b1.“ mll ng, and a by-law is to be submim d to the ratepayers of Lindsay for the granting of a bonus of a. valuable item to the laborer, and the farmer as well as the business man.

The stars are immense. An Improvement. Mr. P. B. Rogers. Peterbnro. superm- tendent of Trent Valley navigation, was in town on Saturday, and with a. stafi' of assistants surveved a cut through from the second lighthouse to Hutchinson's Buy. It will be about 1000 feet in length and will lessen the distance to Bobcaygeon by about 500 yards. In addition to this it will bea good thing for the lumbermen and will save them much time and trouble in floating their lugs through. At present the lighthouse is either swept away or badly damaged by the ice shove in spring, While with the new cut a Dermanent building Can be erected in a. sheltered position. It is expected that work on the improvement will be commenced as soon as the seasun opens. It is owing to the efforts of Messrs. Fairbairn, M.P. and Hughes. M.P., that this work is being done. In the debate at Peterboro last week, the Lindsay men secured the verdict. The subject was the same as discussed here, Independence vs Annexation. The debaters were Messrs. Kenny and Smith for Lindsay and Indipendence, and Messrs Dr. Brennan and Mr. Brick for Peterboro and Annexation. The chairman decided in favor of the former. The visitors were entertained at an oyster supper and spent an enjoyable time. In reference to the debate the Review says:â€"“The addresses were excellent, Mr. Kenny especially giving an excellent speech, well delivered and powerful in argument. Mr. Smith led off in the debate and was followed by Mr. Brick, Mr. Kenny was next and Dr. Brennan followed. The debate closed with Mr. Kenny‘s ten minutes reply. The Peterboro speakers spoke in good form and so did both the visiting gentlemen. but Mr. Kenny, who is a brilliant young orator, captured the parlor for the even- mg. date, including an account of the troubles of 1883-4-5. It. is embellished with good illustrations, including a. bird’s-eye view of the town, the barracks, the gao], a view of Kent-st.. with the Army parad- ing, CapEain Freer and a group of the twenty-four officers and soldiers, who were imprisoned here.
