m surd.” Now ‘there is nothing sure;- than that if any man wanted to build a Technical School here on condition that the town would pay the teachers, he would be told to keep his moneyâ€"not because the peos ple do not appreciate Hencficence and Technical Schools, but because "in the present condition of the town’s finances they regard making large outlays for such purposes as “as- surd, most absurd.”- The parallel by which Mr. Stewart sought. to establish his contention was singflarly unfortunate. It rath- er served the purpose of rhetoric than reason. "If a.man built a chhinical School in Lindsay, would he be asked to pay for its teachers, too?" demanded he, and pronounced the interrogation “absurb, most ab- surd.” Now “there is nothing manor Mr. Stewart’s effort to discredit our position was particularly weak. We only insisted that the. municipal.- ities had never promised any finanâ€" cial help to the hOSpital. \Mr. Ste‘w- art‘s address established that View with the addition that the county council had at one time definitely re- fused to promise anything. That meetings attended by citizens had endorsed asking Mr. Ross to build the hospital is wholly aside from our position. The fact, however, that the hospital is not a county hospital as it was certainly repres- ented at all those meetings it was to be, has very materially altered: the views of even those citizens who attended the meetings spoken-of b‘y Mr. Stewart. stronger than it was before. With the main position that the grant should not be made beCause the town's finances do not perm-it it, Messrs. Flavello and Stewart did not deal. With our argument to show that the town was under no obligation to give, they did. ~We‘ used that argument merely to show that we were not advocating the withholding of money that the town was either legally or morally bound to give ; for the town is not yet so straightened that it cannot meet its actual obili-gations. To make it clear that. the town was free on that score, we sought to Show that the hospital was in no sense a. philan- thropy of the town's or county’s or- iginating. and that to demand sup- port from them was to foist a phil-N unthx'opy upon them. Mr. Flavelle’s remark that we said'Mr. Ross had ioisted the hospital onto the town was wholly incorrect as was Mr. Stewart's ela-ljoration of it. So far as we know Mr. Ross has not asked these. municipalities for any money, and to blame him for the demands of the governors has never entered our minds. ‘ grunt should not be the town‘s finances do Messrs. I’lavellc and not deal. With our be remembered and admitted that in the Watchman-Warder no unapprect' iative word regarding the hospital has ever appeared, but rather, both concerning the structure itself’ and the great mission to which it has been set apart, the best things that we were able to say. On behalf of ourselves and many others who en- dorse our position we make thiswlré? mark. It is, however, a sorry fact that must not be lost sight of, that every individual and municipality has not the money to contribute to every, worthy cause as he w0uld like, and it deserves. The articles on this question that have appeared in the Watchman-War? der came in for some severe critivfl cism by Messrs. Stewart and Fla- yelle on Friday night. To that. criticism, apart from its personal. element, we have no objection ; but it does seem that in this ‘tOWn it" is too much to expect the courtes-ie‘s: usually extended to journalism, by“ which the views of a paper are dis- cussed as such without reference. to the ptrson supposad to have written thi; artichs complained of. “hile‘ not objecting, in the main, to the criticism of the gentlemen who ad- dressed the council 01? Friday night, we believe that it was Wholly fal- lacious and is so far from ovm‘throwâ€" ins our position, that it makes ‘ it uSuaJ difficulty, because it entails the delicate task of ' ' ' ting between a noble institution and the town’s ability to render that insti- tution financial help. However clearly the writer may have that (11?: tinction in his OWn mind, or however carefully he may observe it in his articles, the public will almost um. iversally imagine that when he writ: es against making a large grant'to the hospital, he is writing against the hospital. That is an impresâ€" sion one who is not a churl is loath to make.

With the tOWn’s grant of $500 we have no great fault to. find ; it is very liberal, but the $1,000 asked was out of the ques- tion. Bot-h town and county have dealt very generously with the inâ€" stitution, and we trust the governors will not unduly press for further aid; {for if the hospital’s present revenue 'is not to be supplememted from some other source than the town and county the sooner it is closed up the better.
