The southwest part of- the township, which has been so ably re- `presented by retiring Reeve Cole- man, should be allowed to have a re- |presentative on the board, and it `would be a graceful act on the part. of_-the township to allow it a repre- sentative without a contest. The ,suggestion contained in last week s' Iissue would deprive this large por- tion of the township of representa- tion for the balance of this year, at least, and is resented by the rate-1 ' I `payers in that district.
