Mr. Tudhope said he could not go on with the work of reorganization unless he was assurred the town would agree to the request Mayor Beal said ‘the town could not do it. If it was a question of the people vot‘ing on it, he would say they shall vote. The fault of the old Council was that the people were not given a chance to use their franchise on questions.

The heavy snow storms accompan ied with the strong winds on Thurs "One day a friend gave me a sample box of Zam~Buk and told me of a friend of his who had been cur- ed. I decided to try Zam-Buk, and the relief I got was encouraging. I used three boxes, and at the end of that time I was completely cured. I wish I could have got Zamâ€"Buk years ago; it would have saved ~me a. great deal of sufiering and misery.” Reeve Vmaman said he was voic- ing the opinion of the Council, ' he felt, when he stated that there was no desire to block the project. The town wanted assurance that its se- curity was all right. The bond idea was better than the preferred stock. ”I lost weight and had no appetite I tried everything I ever heard of for piles, as I was willing to take any- thing to get relief. It was useless however, and I almost gave up in des- pair. Mayor BeaIâ€"Yes; it is a good pr0~ position and it will carry. Reeve Vroomanâ€"The idea looks bet- 3 ter than it did at first view. Ald.

Ont, says: “For fiVe years I have suflered untold agony with pro- truding piles. The pain was so great at times I would almost scream. Mr. Tudhope pointed out that the bonds would not be for more than twenty years When they matured the town would get its money. Ald. Naylor said the people should vote on the question. They could do so just as intelligently as when they gave the franchise.to Mr. Sylvester. Ald. Clarkeâ€"Will any trouble be experienced in selling the bonds ? Mr. Tudhopeâ€"No, I think not. Messrs Tudhope and Fielding thanked the Council and withdrew. Don't you believe that experience is better than hearsay? If you sufler from piles, just try‘ Zam-Buk. You can do so at our expense.
