The election of officers resulted as follows: Robert Keyes, honorary president ; Jno. Leonhardt, president ; W. Thompson, vice-president ; C. C. Rock, secretary.

Keyes, James Dougherty, and the Conservative can- didate, A. F. MacLaren. The town- ship will be thoroughly canvassed and nothing fair left undone to roll up one of.the biggest majorities ever cast in the. municipality.

A bill is now before parlis- ment providing that, only one-seyenth of the loan shail be paid annually. Farmers in England are: algo ~pughing their demand for government to re- fund their mortgages at 3 per cent. Russia adopted this principle some years ago and by means of this state aid is peopling the immense tract of virgin land that is being opened up by the trans-Siberia railroad, American farmers don't ask for such paternalism, but they would like the aid of state officials in refunding their present mortgages. Farmers who have been paying from 7 to 12 per cent interest or even more, cannot possibly afford to pay such rates to-day. The mortgage loan companies do not dare to reduce the rate for fear of injuring their securities, although several of them have gone into reccivers' hands be- cause they tried to get more out of the farmers than the business would pay. Some comprehensive refunding scheme wheréby the security of all 'mortgages could be pooled as further security for a lower rate of interest, would bring abont a state of affairs greatly to the advantage of both borrower and lender. We are also greatly impressed with the idea that annual payments on the prin- cipal should be a part of sucha scheme. One great difficulty in the way of carrying it out is the unsavory reputa- tion that has followed in the trail of speculative and watered _ investment companies. --American Agriculturist. t DentalInspectors for Schools. AN IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATION BY THE PROVINCIAL HEALTH BOARD. Toronto, April 30.--The provincial board of health spent most of -yester- day morning discussing the report pre- sented on Tuesday concerning the late typhoid fever outbreak at Windser,and which was attributed to the pollution of the drinking water: It was finally. decided to recommend -- that: Windsor and Walkerville obtain: their f Wa- ter from Lake Erie, by méanit take pipe, which will eee | pre- vent the old trouble. An outbreak of diphtheria in Pairs Sound during the early months ef this year was the 'cause of considerable conflict of opinion between them dielac health, and created much prejudice in the community. In the opinion of the provincial board, the medicial health officer, Dr. J. R. Stone, was correct in his course of treatment, taking the ut- most care to guard against an epi- demic. The committee on school hygiene presented a report onthe project of Dr. J. G. Adams to inspect school chil- dren's teeth. The following recom- mendations were adopted: 'That dental inspectors be appointed by local boards of school trustees-to pe- riodically visit schools and examine children's teeth, two of whom, it was thought, could perform the work in this city ; that a dental hospital be started in Toronto for the benefit of poor children, who would not be able to pay dentists for necessary services, which work it was considered, would be as useful and necessary ag that performed by other public hospitals." The attention of the mister of edu- cation will be drawn to the matter. , Michael Nesbitt, sanitary inspector of the township of Brant, Bruce county, appeared before the board respecting the pollution of the River Saugeen, be- low Walkerton, by the town. 'The board Alecided to obtain samples of the water and submit them to bacteriological an- alysis to ascertain to what extent the river is polluted. The committee on. abattoirs was in- structed to continue its work and pre- pare a model by-law to aid municipali- ties in putting into force , the act passed last session for the inspection of meat and milk supplies of cities and towns.
