The town hall should have an imposing appearance; the churches should be tasty and at- tractive, inside and out; the post otlice should stand out in bold reâ€" lief and be an object that could not fail to attract the stranger’s gaze; the public library should be well and conveniently located and be artistic and neat in its surround- ings. in fact.. all public buildings should be so substantial in con- structitm and neat in their surâ€" roundings as to force the admira- tion of every Visitor. . W156". schoo It will be noticed in some towns that the streets leading from the station, or stations, to the business part of the town, are anything but neat and tidy in appearance. This is a mistake, and often leaves a poor impression on a visitor. These leading streets are often the most untidy and ill-kept streets in the town. while. in reality. they should be amongst the most attractive and ln'lpl'BSSlVe. If a stranger can he made to bubble over with admira- tion on his way from the station to the business portion of the town, he unconsciously and irresistibly‘ beetvmes a walking advertisement for the town and its beauties. \Ve lwlieve that civic authorities are often careless and neglectful of the appearance of the main avenues and arteries of the town. and in this they are making a mistake. RI On entering a place with neat, clean streets, attractive surround- ings, good and substantial business places, neatly dressed windows and inviting appearances generally, the first impression is sure to be a good one. and the favorable Opinion is not lost to the town. The visiting stranger, whoever he may be, perâ€" haps only a tourist on a short out- ing, it properly impressed, if he should refer to the place after- wards, will mention something of its beauties, and the way it first impressed him. This advertises the town. About the first thing.r that im- presses a stranger on entering a town or village is the general charâ€" acter and condition of the streets, and the appearance of its places of business. If these fail in their at- tractiveness he is liable, in nine cases out of ten, to go away with a bad impression, and first impres- sions are generally ones that last. gomi time. too, to note the advances made since that far-off Dominion Day in 1867. tip to then, our pres~ ent provinces of Ontario and Que- bec were called Upper Canada and Lower Canada, respectively, and it took some time to become ac- customed to the change.

The following ‘as our opinion twenty years ago: a full year's supply on hand would be a great satisfaction to users, who could get supplies when needed. There should be a limit to the u- mount a customer would be alloww ed, so that none could stock up so heavily as to produce it slmrtage amongst others. In order to prevent a repitition of last year‘s fuel shortage, it would be well for the council to take the matter in hand now. and lay in a supply. To do so, it would be ne- cessary to establish a municipal coal and wood yard. and sell to cit- izens at a. reasonable advance on cost. To stock up a year’s supply would cost a lot of money at the outset, but it would pay the town, even if they had to borrow the money and pay interest on it. To expedite the return of the cash spent, supplies could be sold at an increased rate, of say 10 cents a ton each month, and if this were done, all having money would purâ€" chase early in the season, and .1 lot of the outlay would soon be re- turned to the town treasury. It should be understood that no 06211 would be allowed to leave the yard without the cash, and this would secure the town against. loss from bad debts. It is not our desire to interfere unfairly against the reg- ular dealers, nor do we think that users would object to paying the regular current prices; To have L1H, to say “9 had no thvught 01' Durham m \sriting if, xvmld not he {"11“, \\'0 “011141 ask mu: I‘ez‘ulers tr» accept or reject the 5%.. laments. as they see fit, and thijw: ‘Vli-D flx'o'sl‘ Hm Views w: Zuni}, jmif :iwn might mnkn :1 manta] 1110a3111i11,,-11p uf Durham to see huw near it, -' mes to mu‘ idml of an uttractixm t€"”\‘51‘.. and how it would attract a. stran- gm'.
