CIREULATION. THE MONEY BY-LAWS In less than three weeks the prop- erty-holders of the town will be re- quired to vote upon money bylaws that provide for an expensiture cf dilation. It is an undertaking that calls for some consideration. To ar- ut the right conclusion and do thing in such a case are no rcan achievements? and of «no trifling value to the town. . To aid, in am degree. to that end. is an enâ€" viable task for a newspaper. We confess to less buoyancy in at- tempting that task than upon doing so with regard to any former public There is room for r i v e the wisest question. fear that r tate the policy of the town. . ouch: to be done is no indication of what will be done. The self-evident- lv right thing is by no means a sure . ~ It has not been ; if it had the toWn would not have had so many blunders to regret as it has todav. For these errors the coun- cil must bear a heavy share of blame; the Board of Trade escapeâ€" unless by going out of existence. When the lighting question was up and the municipal plant was clearly the proper thing. council stubbornly, unreasoningly, and with bad temper, spurned that policy and gave the town the system it has today. a sysâ€" tem. which, whatever its merits, is manifestly so inferior to a municipal electric plant as to be a municipal When the firehall Was be- ing located. council insisted on the if site. It was clearly the wrong site, with regard to the in- terests of both the market square and the building itself. A public meeting protested. but council obstinately. Then the Board of winner 1101‘ can misfortune. present council and members of both bodies ofl'ensively attacked in public those who advocated another site. Now the hall is built: it is a fine structure and no one. who cares for such things can help feeling well-founded regret every time he sees it struggling to appear well in the mudhole it has been put in. Never was the architec- tural art subjected to worse indignity nor a noble structure more ignobly Nothing but pitable abtuâ€" seness to the fitness of things has given it such a situation. nor has so ignored future needs of the mar- ket square. No wonder it was the. antemortem performance of the Board of Trade. These things are mentioned only as cases in which official hostilâ€" ity to common-sense policies has both laid the foundation for future, regret. and discouraged the efforts of 3 both the public and the press in thel town's behalf. As long as men oil position and influence, lead the town- astray. it will not get along any better. Lindsay has been notorious- ly hampered by an ill-advised past. Its future, however, is before the town: in many ways it holds bright prospects ; that its citizens will placed. DOW wisely encourage their realization isi It is with a. tor, made a visit to our local office. not too much to hope. determination to do something toâ€": ward fulfilling that hope that every prOperty-holder should go to the poll - on August the 18th. C Q It Little interest seems to be taken in. the approaching vote. It will be unfortunate if that is and continues to be so. It should be known that to submit these bylaws will cost' ; tory. the.“ Sylvester creek will never over». flow. In that case, by all means put the library there. " It does nOt seem likely, however, that while the drain under the park is the sizof it is} iiOw. the park "will ever be perfectly“ safe from the overflow. Rather than sac- rifice the fine new library building to an unsuitable location, vote the $2000 dollars by all means. The $14,000 bylaw to build a new north ward school is submitted at the instance of the schoolboard. Of the merits of the demand we person- ally know nothing ; but the fact that the school board asks for the money and supports its request with the information that it has. makes us free to advocate its support. The board is composed of gentlemen whose opinions on school buildings, at all events, is worthy of public con- fidence. School buildings must be had and good ones; the average man knows nothing about what ..ond|.io:i they are in : he does not inform himself on that point : he leaves it to the school board : he does well. and when the board says a new building is necessary he should say : “Well build it." Especially should he say so when the school board has got expert advice as it this case it. has. Unless he can inform himself that a new school is not needed. it is hard to see on what basis a property- holder is going to vote against the 514.000 bylaw. The bylaw to raise 820.000 good roads seems like a chance solve a diflicult, well-nigh desperate problem. The condition into which the leading streets have got of late is an answer to all objections. Kent street needs a third of the whole sum‘ asked for and needs it right away. The sum of $20,000 is so evidently an immediate necessity that debating it seems a waste of time. The cur- rent revenue will build little or no roads : special funds must be got and the amount spent each year in patching will meet the annual ments of debentures for $20,000. ======= OMENIEE July 29thâ€"Farmers are very busy saving their hay crop. Other grains are also ripe. Binders cannot work owing to quantities of. rain. R. J. Adams, implement agent, is very busy setting up machinery and Major Evans is kept running day and night at repairs on machinery. Our baseball club claim they held down Lindsay professionals as well as expected. and hope to give a closer game on the return match. In a very interesting local baseball match between the married and single men on Monday evening the single men defeated their opponents by a score of 32 to 26. Great interest and enthusiasm was shown, especially by the ladies: Bobcaygeon plays the return match here on Friday. A swift game is expected. Mr. J. J. Nicholls is able to sit out on his door platform and see his mill going, after being confined to his bed for 16 weeks. A party of about 46 from here took in the excursion today to Lake 0n- tario per steamer Niagara. We expect to have some of the Ka- wartha tugs or yachts make a trip up here during the high water, which is 5 feet high here now.

The rate of tax- ation is high but the assessment is comparatively low. The amount .paid by any one person is no great burden. Well-to-do men pay $35 or $40 a year. Rich men pay $150 or $200. Taxes constitute the smallest of any 1 man's important expenditures. a. few very poor people suffer 1221322311.. paying them. What ham would it do th‘éfimm he paid $50 ‘? He would never know the difference but the diflerence made general would make Lindsay into a. beautiful sanitary and well-equipped town. The cry about heavy taxes has been too general and got too much attention for the town’s good. Things must be done : it takes mon- ey to do them ; and money must be -had.

The remains arrived. on the 23rd and the funeral took place on the 25th, the lbody being laid to rest in the Meth- iodist grave yard here. The funeral .was a very large and representative lone.

Some of our citizens think the vil- lage drain is not what it was first cracked up to be, since it runs by their doors six inches above the cel- lar. This is the pleasant state of affairs a few of our residents are up against. It. will certainly cost us enough to ensure a perfect and sat- isfactory job. The surveyor has bben notified and may be able to explain his method of calculation. Twice has the Methodist Sunday school made preparations for an en- tertainment in the hall and each time there has been a wet and dis- agreeable evening.

July 30.-The latest and most reliable information indicates that King Edward's doctors were not misiaken in fixing Aug. 9 as the date upon which His Majesty could be crowned. 'lhe sinister rumors which hare pervaded all classes for the last few days now appear to have lost the semblance of probabil- ity which made eu-n the members of the Cabinet; nervous lost another postponement of the coronation might be necessitated. The apprehcn:.ion that King Ed- ward would be unable to stand the strain of the coronation ceremony has been greatly lessened by the an- nouncement that llis Majesty is now permitted to use his feet. and, with the aid of a stick, has done a little walking. Another late telegram from Cowes. Isle of Wight. saying that nearly all the restrictions upon the King's dict have own withdrawn. has been wel- comed. as evidence that the recent ominious deductions were drawn: without due allowance for the doc- tor's extreme cautiousness. “hilt- the King was testing his ability to walk, two stalwart jackies stood by his side. After this experiment. which boded well for his fulfilling the necessary coronation functions at Westminster Abbey.

According to the present arrange- ments, King Ellwm'd and Queen Alex- andra will leave Cowes either Aug. 6 or Aug. 8, for Buckingham Palace, and will realm to the royal yacht Aug. 19, when the entire fleet will pass before King Edward and salute him, thus making a. second naval rc- vieW. After his return to the yacht. the King is eXpet-ted to take an ex- tended cruisc to the northward, and, slxbsequently. to spend some weeks at Balmoral, where preparations for the arrival of Their Majestiw have al- ready been commenced. Sir Joseph C.

"The demand for big chickens has led to growing Plymouth Rocks, which was no good to lay. Where the little old'common fowl would lay thirty dozen in a summer. the Rocks lay a dozen or so and then quit. The little fowls are nearly all bone. As a result instead of employing thirty-two men as last year, we have only fourteen at the egg house this summer. The price of eggs is two or three cents a dozen better. how- ever.
