On His Way West Sergt.-Major Bert Nott was in town over Sunday, being the guest of his grandmother, Mrs. Brown. He was accompanied by his wife who has . been in England for the past fourteen months. Mr Nott is home on busi-* ness. He is in perfect health. = The "report of his illness, which came from Winnipeg, 'was without foundation. His leave of absence extends over: a couple of months, at the end of which time he is expected to be on duty again, The editor had the pleasure of an' hour's' conversation ith Mr Nott, but owing to the Fair Prize List that matter must be held over until _ our next issue.

Now that the old railroad debt could take that amount and what sur- plus we could raise to make up a sum of $3000 per year. This sum would enable us to raise $20,000 debentures and pay them off, principal and 1nter- est, in ten years---paying,. roughly speaking, $2000 principal, and $1000 interest, each year. This could be done without raising the tax rate at all We could now have the use of the good roads and they would still be good when the present generation are in their graves. Fourteen years ago, when I came to Port Perry, there was not a sidewalk fit to walk on "safely, except on the one business block. and that, as it stands to-day, shows that it was a fraud, which, I am in'orined, cost the Village 16c per sq. foot. The next year after I came, Mr Purdy was Reeve, and he gave me a free hand to put down cement side- walks. . I reduced the cost to less than one half the original cost. = Now our sidewalks will compare well with those of any town of the size that T know. You will say-- What has all that to do with good roads." Just this ~--1 could have done the save on the streets, if I had a free hand. I tried several times, but was turned down. There &re not many men that can do good work with too many critics | to muddle with them. , ¢ Some will say--"He wanted a job for himself." I wanted nothing of the kind. I tell you right now that any work I did for the town, was done for the least wages I got anywhere. The good roads can be put down for two-thirds of the amount. of the tenders that have beén sent in, and that to be a permanent roadway: The Reeve and Council have been turned down again. You know the remuneration of a Councillor is so great and the abuse so generous, that, not being a selfish man, I am willing to let some one else have my share of it. Hence my resignation. Regard- ing the Reeve, who has done so much for the town--often he has been work- ing for'the town when he should have been in bed.-- You will try many a man hefore you get one so faithful. J. G.
