Stewart... Conservative. who was elected a year ago by a majm-ity of 2,600 over a Progressive Opponent. This was the hardest fought polit- ical battle ever fought in Lanark and though the constituency has long been Conservative there was no pos- itive assurance that a Conservative would be returned in a by-election with Premier King and a number of Cabinet ministers using their full influence against Dr. Preston. A strong plea was put in for support 0! the Liberal candidate, as the par- ' ty in power had only a majority of one over the other grOup’s, More- over, in by-elections, the general tendency is to go with the Govern- ment.

The reduction of the ma-. yjority in Monday’s contest cuts no figure and proves nothing of the p0pularity or otherwise of the King Government during the year it has} been in power. ‘ 1 The. flopâ€"over t0 the Liberal sill}: by Mr. Hammill, the Progressive- Liberal from Muskoka, leaves Mr. King at the close of the contest with a majority of two, and from present. reports and indications his" majority will soon be further increased in the same manner.

Mr. John Williamson of the Old Durham Road had an exciting mo- ment on Saturday afternoon last. when both he and his son \Valter had a narrow escape from instant death. They were working in the bush and felled a dead tree, which lodged in another tree. Mr. Wil- liamson hitched his team to the butt. of the lodged tree with the idea of pulling it down, but the team was unable to move it. Mr. Williamson then stepped near the team. and. with the lines in his hands, struck the horses sharply. when they plun- ged forward.

I think it high time that some tan- :iiale steps shunht be taken by the town to procure a report. through some qualitiml llyih'o Engineer as to sunrre and cost of a in wt and em- rient water supply satisfactory for (limiestit' and :niiustriul purposes and for tire protection. This would furnish data upon which to debate the l'easability of submitting a by- law to the ratepayers or the purpose lui‘ installing Public \N'aterworks. ; Spreading the debentures over twen- ; ty or thirty years, this would not be as burdensome as other hy-laws be- cause of the benefits it would give to all of the ratepayers and because. of revenue coming in from year to year from users of the water, which would help to pay oti‘ some of the principal and interest on the deben- tures. This revenue would natural- ly be increased because of an in- creasing number of users due to bet- ter water supply, iving safer drink- ing water, giving etter fire protec- tion, reducin the cost of insurance, holding out getter inducements to prospective industries and residen- * tial__building. . There “are two apparent sources! from which this water supply could be obtained, viz : from Wilders’ Lake which barring the cost is the ideal source. The right of way for the purpose of laying the pi es along the old cement plant switc line has been secured. The other source is from that part. of the present water supply which is obtained from the springs Situated on the East and West sides of .Upper Town. . -,--fl1 Personally, I think more is sufl‘i-~ riont water to be obtained from these springs if prOperly controlled tn supply both l'ppor and Lower Town, b" collecting all the water from all the springs and leading it into two main reservoirs, one at the East springs and one at the West. springs.
