Did the voters vote for the men of their choice, or was it simply a case of ousting one man because he has received notoriety as a fighter in the administration of Mr. Bull. In losing Mr. Bonham from the Council of the Town of Grimsby, many no doubt were well satisfied that they have done the | right ‘w.mwmnm Defeated in his own North Ward it is clear to him that | the pressure was on ever since the nominations came to a close on December 27. And perhaps before. some people reason that sitting unâ€" der Mr. Lewis, Bonham would have been a most efficient councilior, and that the clash of personalities would have ceased as soon as Bull was out of office. The fact remains that the people ve volced their opinion via the BALst. ‘They returned to office ree men who have had a seat previous councils To Lothian the honour of polling the ghest number of votes. They also haced on council for a one year plin three new men, Anderson, trown and Grosszmith. If the exâ€"mayor feels that an organized fight to place Lewis in office was a determining factor, Mr. Bull is quite correct.

While we were having our own election, down in Beamsville the people saw fit to set the town back another quarter century by voting down the possibility of having sewâ€" era. Only by twentyâ€"eight votes was the proposed sewer scheme voted down, which is certainly not a sufficient margin to let the matâ€" ter drop. A few monled boys who could well afford to meet the inâ€" creased cost, did much to defeat the issue. These same people have made their fortunes. or at least a most comfortable living from the Village of Beamsville, and it is jronic that.they should now be dead against a matter that would let Beamsville progress instead of hold it back Although the issue was never made entirely clear to the voters of Beamsville, let us hope that something will be done to overcome the stench that turns a person‘s stomach on a hot day in August. Perhaps a few people will have to die in an epidemic before the Vilâ€" lage will be allowed to have someâ€" thing that is the most essential utility to be desired. To those who have campaigned for the sewage system our conâ€" gratuistions, and our hopes are with them for a continued battle until the younger generation will be protected by an adequate disâ€" posal system of waste. Long known as a village of retired people, it‘s about time that they started to consider the generations to come not their own nearly deflated lives.
