The big fairs are being exten- sively advertised, but we mustn’t forget the Durham show, to be held here on Tuesday and Wed- nesday, September 24th and 25th. of September. It will not be as big as the Toronto Exhinition, but it should be just as interesting to the adjoining and surrounding townships. It seems almost im- possible to work up a feeling of enthusiasm over these local con- cerns, but in all sincerity we be- lieve there -should be a greater spirit of loyalty and a larger ef- fort than usual to make them bet- ter and better every year. Only united action on the part of all can bring out the best that is in us. The management will furnish some attractions; it is almost im- perative that they should do so. It is the attractions that draw the crowds. to the big Toronto fair: it is the attractions the man- agement of the big fairs are ad- vertising most extensively. Re- presence if nothing more. SIMPLY COULDN’T AFFORD IT ENTRANCE TO NORMAL RESULTS Since last issue we have heard very little about the new post- office. We still contend that the Edge property is the best site; we still believe that the Edge prop- erty was the site the late Govern- ment would have chosen had they remained in power. We know that the Edge pr0perty was ’the site intended by the present Govern-w ment. We know from the Govern- ‘ ment engineer that the Edge pro- Perty, in his opinion, is all that could be desired. He told us so himself and gave us permission to say so. We are reasonably con- fident that no Government will give as artistic and costly .a building to any town if the build- ing is to be hidden in between other buildings. We know they do not insure the Government buildings and wish to have them! as isolated as possible to avoid destruction by fire. W'e are quite certain there would be no dissat- isfaction on the part of the Gov- e‘nment, and very little on the part of the citizens if the new building be erected on the Edge p‘cperty. We know the Edge prOperty is not quite so conven- ient as the town-hall, but that as a site it is infinitely better. We know that the Governmentnvants an absolute title to any property on which they put a public build- ing. and we know there has alâ€" ways been a doubt about the ti- tle of the town -hall property if used for any other purpose. We‘j know that no party nor represent- ative of a party is going to re- tain strength and influence by . shifting his position to satisfy all; the contending factions. We still' stand solid on the opinion of the'. Government Engineer. who 1 ex- 1 Dressed himself strongly in favor 1 of the Edge property. 'I THE DURHAM CHRONICLE W. IfiW/N Edits: and Plopnetor.
