Among the items are $1500 for rebuilding Cowan’s bridge over Pigeon creek, and $5,900 toward improving the channel of the If al the expenditures are as justifiable as these two little objection can be raised. The Board of Trade, town council, and delegation, and the member, Mr. McHugh, are to be commended for their efforts to secure the Scugog improvements. Scugog river in this town. '55.: Closing the Streets THE REQUEST of the Grand Trunk that certain streets adjacent to their tracks east of the station should be closed puts the council face to face with a serious (111(5 ion. It is one of those cases where the interests of the individual ratepayer and those of the whole town . om“ into collision, and to that extent presents all the difficulties of the house div ded against itself and dangers. It is the council’s duty to Sr’e that neither the town nor the in:rividual suffers. With the interests of the Grand Trunk it has nothing to do. Likely that corporation is giving exclusive atten tion to those. On Menday night the people having property on those streets came before the council with vigorous protests. its traditional “l against the closing And no wonder admittance. harmonized? By ‘ money; all ques- tio'ns oi property and convenience have a money value. Reduce them to that. Let an impartial arbitration decide after taking all the circumstances into consideration. Then pay the property holders affected the full amount of their loss. The money to do it ‘should come from the railway. Likely the convenience and property are worth as much to a great corporation for their extensive affairs as to private indivi- duals. The council must endeavor to get the railway to pay these sums. If they cannot make a better bargain elsewhere they will pay them and the town will be at no expense. There are cases, however, where the company can do better some place else. If so they will select the other location. If that would mean a greater loss to the town than the difference between what the company will pay and the property holders have been awarded, then the eduncil should promptly pay the difference out of the town’s funds. In that way both the town and the individual will be protected, and the needs of the railway met. C onsidering it on this basis the council will doubt- less find a fair solution. # .â€" Newspaper and Council FOB. some time there has been friction between our contemporary. the Post. and the town council. The grievances have been mutual. The Post has complained because the press is not admitted to com- mittee meetings, and the members of council have charged that they are con- tinually misrepresented by the paper. Tho crisis came at Monday night’s meet:- ing and the points at issue were discussed in a lively fashion by the Post represent- ative and several alderman. Apart from the merits of the case, we think the council chose an unfortunate time and place in which to utter their strictures. It was bad form to make the attack on the floor of the chamber where the newspaper man is compelled to be. come a public speaker at heavy odds or take it all in silence. It seems to us that the office of publication would have been a more suitable place in which to thrush the matter out. In so far as the quarrel is between the council and the reports of meetings pub- lished by the Post, we have nothing to say. Those reports have often conveyed an impression of meetings that did not correspond with our conception of what. actually occurred, but. that is no crime, and to undertake to point out instances in which the paper has been in error is a larger task than we care to assume at present. There are, however, tho two questions of unsigned letters and private committee meetings upon which we may express an opinion. We believe that all letters of a personal character should bear the signatures of their writers and have insisted on that in our columns for some time. We should suppose that the Post’s anxiety to have everything so "open and above board " in regard to committee meetings would lead it in the same course. Consistency demands that it should. That the Post. is annoyed at being ex» cludsd from chc committee meetings is no wonder. Being a daily it is naturally anxious to obtain news of that sort both to improve its own columns and forests its weekly contemporary. Thus desire is only good journalism and cannot be con- demned. The Post. claims, however, the the public interests impair it to demand That is a high and patriotic With the railway traffic now passing impulse, but. not 3'3 8113000051”? 0'19- through this town and the enormous The people’s 0"“ representatives are the increase in prospect it ‘is bad enoug to be locat'ed near the tracks without being: subjected to other inconveni- ences by having the means of getting to and from one’s property cut off. No ratepayer with any spirit would quietly submit to any tampering with his rights in this respect, especially at the bidding of a rich corporation like the Grand Trunk. On the: necessity to a town’s pro-perity, and in fact to its existence. if they are to come into a town they in st come in on the groun-" and run through some- ther hand railways are a' h committeemsn. They surely do not elect them and straightan suspect them. If not, why should they not permit them privacy in which to conduct: their deliber- ations? Business men, in negotiations, do no: conduct those negotiations on the street corner but in their offices, and us the affairs of this town become more com- plicatsd and far-reaching the more need will there be that council shall. be allowed to discuss those admire, in their early stages, without: their discussions being made public.

Let Us Have Peace. The hoshlcr sit a local hotel was/"re- cently summoned to appear before the police magistrate because his incessant whistling disturbedthe people living near by. The case was withdrawn, but it suggests the whole question of preserving the town’s peace. Unnecessary noises should not be allowed. They only add to the wear that is already too great upon people who liv.e.in town or city.’ The council has acted wisely in regulating the time during which steam whistles may be blown. That ended one nuisance. A n- other has arisen in the exhaust: pipes. Some of them are attached to high-speed engines and" their rapid and constant coughing is an unnecessary unnoyanceto the people within earshot. The raw- mills sre the worst offenders. One of the exhausts on a certain mill gives forth a fiendish- sound that: is a menace to the acuity of everybody to Iseaward of is. 3, Since that busy mill has been running all night the matter of sleep has been the most difficult problem in a good many people’s lives. Sick folks are especislsuflcrers. We speak of this the more freely because it is a simple matter to prevent it all. The peculiar noise made by this exhaust is probably due to some defect in the pipe that: could be remedied as well as not, but all the millmsn could at very small cost procure exhaust beads that would do away with the annoyance en- tirely. We trust: that this reference to the subject: will result in prompt action on their part, and if so we shall have done a kindness to many of our citizens. 1 l r Editorial Notes MR. R. J. MCLAUGHLIN is to be congratulated on the result of the in- vestigation of Col. Hughes’ charges against him. No doubt Col. Hughes believed an injustice had been done the farmers by Mr. McLaughlin, but every citizen must be glad that the personal and professional honor of this popular and capable law firm has been sustained. WITHIN A short time there has been an advance in the price of ironiand some kinds ofsteel, varying from 40 to 80 per cent. This is a serious matter for the numerous industries that use these metals. It is well the new bridge on Lindsay-st. was got in time. The many minor railway projects will feel the effect, and may in some instances be hindered entirely. The cause of this advance is more likely among the trusts than the iron mines. To US there was a fine humour in Mr. Stewart’s solemn declaration at the pubic meeting that the committee meetings ought to be open. It is not so very long ago that in an open meet- ing of the council of the Board of Trade the representative of this paper was just as seriously requested by Mr. Stewart not to publish certain stateâ€" ments that he was making in regard to a transaction connected with the town. Such mental inconsistency is probably a penalty of following the legal profession. Coming Events ' SATURDAY, JULY 22ndâ€"Flavelle Milling Co. Employees annual picnic at Stur- geon Point.
