fl to Operate on .the town . . .3" .ii»; IN THE STATES mob law is {:00 quick; in Canada it is not quick enough, if we are to judge from. the fact that the alderman who am reâ€" sponsibfc for building a. pig pen on the public square still go abrégd in daylight. a One would imagine that the. pro- cession of blunders that in close for-.. mation and double-quick time have marched upon the town in command of practically the same “leading"? citiZens, would impress all other cit- izens at least, with the iactthat it would be worth while to listen to those who have consistently protes- ted against these follies. Tenders are now asked for building the public library on the .market park. Everybody knows that is the wrong place for the library and that the park should not be put. to that use, but by official obstinacy and in- difference this catastrophe is about to inflict itself upon the town. Experts could not find a worse site for a public library than between a. blacksmith shop and a foundry and beside the railway track in a rail- Wu'y town. Yet that is the very spot that with their almost uncanny perversion the officials of this t0wn have selected for the building. Those who can appreciate a public library know that it would be a disaster to put it there. The chairman of the Library Board has declared that it would " teetotally ” ruin the library to locate it here. In View of this would it not be well for the board TO postpone building on the park? It is fast becoming evident that the park should not be used for the library. The rapidity with which o‘liw- improvements are being made in {ill} toWn makes it clear that new chic buildings will become an early n esssiiy. When that time comes will the folly of cumbering the square with any other building, be evident and another cause of la.â€" mvnt. The place for the new build- 2112' will be well back in the park which will all be required to prop- -.-: {y set it oh“. This is apparent to all but those who know nothing of the history and Significance of pub- lic squares ancient and modern, and whose experience in laying out grounds has been limited to so di- \ idiug a lot as to get a house on the front end and a dog kennel and pig pen on the rear. The town is mar- l'l cl by the work of men whose outâ€" look and imagination are. bounded by‘ that performance. The Lindsay board. as such, is, of course, not responsible for saving the park, but as citizens they are interested, and,a-s a board they do not want t-hexlibraly misplaced. Upon these grounds, and with our request emphasized by the mistakes of the past, we ask the board to refuse-to build on the mar- ket plot. In doing so they will be endorsed by the people. The town is not sull'ering for library accommo- dation. Mr. Carnegie’s grant has been secured, and likely by waiting a better site will be provided.

That is why all. Aid. Cinnamon had to say about the defective walks was quite within the mark, and things in that department are getting no better very fast. To the wobble and dip conâ€" trived in these structures by “Enâ€" gineer” Jackson an elevation that renders side railings necessary on level streets has been added by his successor, Student Way. There are enough other examples, but that on the north side of Wellington-st -. will suflice. It has scarcely got away frOm Cambridge-st when it shows a disposition to spurn the earth and is soon three feet above it. A ~walk at a similar elevation on. the other side of the street will present the? residents there with the option of using a tunnel or a step-ladder as a means of exit, while the citizen strolling upon his lawn will have th‘ feeling of security of the man behind stone walls. Away West of the track the same absurdity betokens the directions of the “engineer.” Without regard at all to the to the height of the roadway, this oficial puts the walks up to conform to some theory that has respect to any- thing but the damage to adjacent property and the enormous cost of extra filling. If it were not that the vagaries of the town officials of late indicate irresponsibility one would protest against this flagrant sample of them. It is increasingly evident, however,_that these follies must go On until they bring those who perpetrate them into physical collision with an outraged public.

ALFRED TAYLOR, (Ilérk. Dated alt VMM July m of the Township of Eldon, in the County of Victoria.

Electors are called upon to examine the said list, and. gian and Greek conferences in Lon- don, which lasted from 1831 till 1839, many of the clerks in the of- fice were always in attendance on Sundays, as was also either tho li- brarian or the subâ€"librarian. A story is told that one Sunday morning, during church time. Lord Palmerston entered one of the rooms of the office, accompanied by Lady Palmerston, and not finding the head of the department at his post, he inquired of one oi the jun- iors where he was, and on being told that he Was gt church, His Lordship expressed much surprise at his not being at his deck, and was beginning to wax rather warm on .1 I.-- street.

A mutual recognition genernlu took place every morning between some 0! them. In one of these room there used to he one gentlemen with e round head. end another with red hair, and should the former first open his window, the young ladies oppo- site, who generelly worked with their windows open, would call out: “Good morning.

And should the letter be the first to appear the salutation would the subject, when he was stopped by Lady Palmerston's remarking: "But, you see. my dear, some people go to church on Sundays."
