The work in each de- partmvm is as difi'crunt as night is different from day. and requires men of untiroly different ideas and dispo- sitions.

The moral tone of the town was never bottur. The force is efficient, and working together well. am’ 1.50 friction which unfortunately did ex- ist, has sinc.- the change entirely disappeared. Much time and thought has been expended on the question of street lighting, more cspecmilyen the out- skirts, and on those streets not imâ€" mediately in the centre of the town. This question has been partially solved by adopting: a system of in- candescent lights. it being found posâ€" sible to install roux of these lights for the price of one are light. and those incandescent lights have been giving good satisfaction. I trust that the chairman of this depart- ment. u'hovever he may be, will give this matter the attention that it requires, and endeavor to make it still more satisfactory. Except when covered with snow, almost continual expense in connec- tion with the cleaning or permanent roadways, is one of- the penalties of progress, not only in Lindsay, but in every municipality whore climatic conditions an) the same, and where they have similar improvements. and the problem of how to keep them in proper condition at the lowest pos- sible cost is a question that will de- mand the serious consideration of this council. ( When remodelling the post office building, considerable work has been done on the tower but not. Very sa- tisfactory from the standpoint of Lindsay. We Were given to under As a. result of a delegation of citiz- ens waiting on the Government at Ottawa, a Government engineer was sent; here and took surveys and mea- surements for a new wharf, deepenâ€" ing of the rivvr and acquiring the property on the east, side of the riv- er. Considerable work was done on the river, but thp'new wharf has not yet materialized, nor hare we been informed as to Whether‘or not the Government have purchased the pro- perty on the east sine. The council also memorialized the Government for a‘ new modern bridge across the river on Lindsay-8L, to replace the almost useless structure there at present . LINDSAY, ONT. THURSDAY. JANUARY 14-, 1915. As I have pointed out on former occasions of this kind the function of. a body such as this is.not merely to build a bridge, or construct or re- pair a roadway, but to initiate as well as to administrate. The care and comfort of the whole body of citizens, young as well as old. the children, as well as the grown-ups. In all modern municipalities more money is being expended yearly for the care and comfort of the little ones, knowing.' that therein lay the great assets for future generations. Among other things are skating rinks and toboggan slides, for out- door sports in winter and for sum- mer, wading pools. bathing places, sand slides, swings, etc. And. while on this phase of the question I would point out the desirability of a central .tohoggan slide, and also how fortunate Lindsay is in having the McDonald property, such a splendid site for this healthy and enjoyable sport. It is deplorable that .a town such as Lindsay that the only place for the children to enjoy a slide is the streets or the river banks, where they are in continual danger to life and limb and I trust that one of the first things for this council to take up will be to remedy this very un- desirable condition. A very important pieCe of work that should be done this year is the cement walk to the cemetery. Some society or organization in Lindsay. in conjunction with the township of ()ps should consider it their special privilege to carry this matter to a successful conclusion. There are many places ‘in the town that, with a little efi'ort, could be made beauty spots; for example, flowu‘ beds could be placed with «d- vantago in some, and other places cleaned up. The Horticultural So- ciety has made a start on the lib- rary grounds, and I think that the council should invite this very use- ful sacioty to greatly extend their work. And the railway authorities of both systems should be requested to do something in that respect! You will no doubt have noticed that the telegraph poles and cable on Kent-5L, belonging to the G.N.W. Telegraph Company. are still there. The council for the past two years has endeavored in every way pos- siblo to hme this matter adjusted in a fail manner, but as yet have not succmded in having the poles or cable reinovod. I would adviSe that this council make another appeal to the railway board, in order that those unsightly structures be gotten out of the way. I would ask you to consider whe- ther a saving; cannot be effected by putting in a heating plant in ehc town building, and whether or not it is desirable to remodel the town oflfims. .\ community as important as Lindaay, where thirty-one thou- sand; dollars was taken in on one day, is certainly deserving of some- thing better than the barn-like rooms used at present, and where there is no accommodation for either citizens or officials. And on the outside something must, be done very soon, in order to preserve the structure from destruction. Mam other questions will cecupv vour attention throughout me )ear. which I feel sure that you will handle with speed, promptncss and intelli- gence. I trust that you will take these matters up in due time. ed, and the taking over of the park by the Government and keeping it in shape.
