You see, there an éelection, but â€" well, let‘s But, the federal election must have upset Mr. Hepburn‘s calculations a little. Even though Col. Streight, the Liberal candidate, gained election â€" pending the recount â€" West York is not a safe Liberal seat by any strength of imagination. Despite his ma?‘ority in the provincial assembly, it doubtful whether Premier Hepâ€" {burn would dare risk an unfavourable {byâ€"election at this stage of the game. Any association which can bring ‘the editor of Jack Canuck within ithirtyâ€"four votes of winning an elecâ€" <#gion, is not quite as dead as it might } seemed. The West York Conâ€" in Associationâ€"=â€"~in~choiee of {wendidates â€" has made three bad misâ€" ;takes in a row. It is not likely to make a fourth. Given a real nominee to S\:ipport. West York Conservatives would go to town in a big way. The luck of the town is proverbial, but it is an aweâ€"inspiring wonder that there has not been a serious accident â€"â€"or several of themâ€"on north Main Street. Ever{ day which elapses, beâ€" fore the potâ€"holes alongside the track are fillecfi means twentyâ€"four hours of unnecessary danger both to motorâ€" ists and pedestrians. Nearly â€" every motorist who uses the street can tes. tify to the menace lurking in that ckening tug on the tire which has ccidentally slipped into the track t. There is dantger there, both of losing a tire and of breaking a wheel. A car suddenly damaged in this manâ€" ner is positively out of control. It will continue its careeniniewny for some distance before it can brought to a halt, and woe betide the hapless vehicle or person which happens to be in its path. We have heard very little lately about the Ratepayers‘ Association, If it is still functioning, it is certainly dong so with a minimum of noise. d'l;hfq ahl:ociltion wufs formed with the inite purpose of investigating inâ€" dependently the wisdom of the town council‘s decision on the street railâ€" way question. If the association has died a natural death, its quiet demise car mean only one of two things. Either its members lacked sufficient interest to pursue their investigation to its logical and complete concluâ€" sion, or, having actually obtained the facts, tfie{ decided the action taken by council was, under the circum-‘ stances, the best thing that could have been done. In either event unless the Rateâ€" payers‘ executive issues a statement, council will lack complete vindication in the eyes of the electorate. With a municipal election campaign only two months away, any further action or lutofactiononthep.floftheas- sociation will have an mfortam bearâ€" ing on the personnel of next year‘s council. There seems to be a rather general expectation that few, if any, of the | â€"_ As for the local municipal arenaâ€" the excitement seems to have died down. Council and the T.T.C. have nearly completed partial renovation of the car line and even Councillor Rowntree would probably admit that. it is a big improvement. The next step will be to pave the track allowâ€" ance surface around the new rails and aceâ€"patch‘ the track allowance the west of the street. â€" In the mean time, the track allowance is in terrible condition on the northâ€" ern half of the street. This column fails to see why the Fatching of this section must wait till completion of the work at the south end. _ This situation is unfortunate, both for Premier Hepburn and _ for Mr. Gardhouse. The strength of the West York Conservative Association is the dominating factor in deciding wheâ€" ther !.he present Liberal leader gets a DC BTORUESMUC CONCIE! ‘CAUCET fets a new ‘yesâ€"man‘ supporter and whether the present Liberal member gets a luâ€" crative and highlyâ€"desirable appointâ€" ment. , If one can believe even a small part of what one hears, it may be safely assumed that Mr. Gardhouse is scarceâ€" ly in complete harmony with the rule of thumb tactics and oscillating policies of the Hepburn administraâ€" tion. It is said that steps already. have been taken to placate his opposiâ€" tion. Perhaps this is the reason for the widespread and immediate public acceptance of the rumour of Mr. Gardâ€" ruuse's arpointment as inspector of ‘Sheriffs. It was assumed that Premier Hepburn had found a soft spot in which to disrose of an unruly memâ€" ber and would make certain that the new _ West York Liberal nominee would be someone who could be handâ€" led more easily. akip it. It seemed, too, for a time as if there might also be a provincial byâ€" @lection. ‘The story was well circulaâ€" ted that Mr. W. J. Gardhouse, M.P.P. for West York, was about to retire in order to take the position of inâ€" spector of sheriffs for the province & position reported to provide upâ€" wards of $6,000 yearly, with a car .\lglied. In an interview last week with The Times and Guide, Mr. Gardâ€" house denied the rumour. He did it emphatically and at some length but the general public does not believe miticnl speculation, the appointment been made without Mr. Gardhouse knowing of it. Somehow, though, we doubt it. Time will tell, but, until it does, this column is willing to take his statement at its face value. i In fact, even some of his Liberal ends, who had previously been asâ€" (ired from other sources that the ‘lgaointment was authentic, seem a e incredulous.
